Summer is approaching. To withstand the heat, people tend to drink cold water. When thinking of cold water, the first source that comes to mind is refrigeration. Today’s modern world has provided us with sophisticated technology. However, an incognito mode of thought perceives modernity as a status symbol, gradually leading us to forget ancient, traditional ways of living. God and Mother Earth have provided humans with far healthier alternatives, which we often overlook as we become blinded by colorful designs and urbanity. Today, we will explore both natural and technological ways of cooling water.
Natural Water Cooling System vs. Electrical Water Cooling System
The refrigerator is an incredible invention. Nevertheless, it has its own advantages and disadvantages. While it allows water to cool faster and offers advanced features, it is expensive, consumes electricity, and may have health drawbacks. Drinking refrigerated water or consuming refrigerated food can sometimes lead to colds, coughs, and other side effects. Additionally, constant contact with plastic can introduce hazardous chemicals into the water, and artificial cooling systems may reduce some of water’s natural benefits.
On the other hand, the earthen pot is a natural water cooling system that has been used for ages and has proven to have numerous health benefits over electrical water cooling systems. The earthen pot, known as ‘gadige,’ is made of clay. Clay pots contain pores that allow water to evaporate, pushing heat vapors out through these pores, which naturally cools the water inside. This natural phenomenon eliminates plastic contact, making it a safer alternative. Additionally, the alkaline content in the water increases as it interacts with the clay, helping to resolve stomach issues. Covering the pot with a wet cloth keeps the water cooler for a longer period. Unlike refrigeration, drinking water from earthen pots has no side effects. Moreover, this system is cost-effective and keeps you connected with nature.
This summer, try drinking water from a clay pot. Choose a healthier lifestyle and ensure your well-being. Good health is the most priceless wealth one can acquire.
Protean Cooking with Nature’s Nourishment
Earthen pots invariably have the quality of preserving nutrients even after food is cooked over intense heat. Undamaged natural nutrients add a special taste to the food. The pores in earthen pots retain the moisture of the food. Although the cooking process might take a little longer, food is cooked in a slow-cooking mode. Slow cooking enhances taste by allowing the flavors of the ingredients to be fully absorbed into the dish. Retaining vitamins keeps the food fresh and balances the energy needed by the body.
Earthen pots don’t react to heat or acidic foods like lemon or tamarind. They neither contain harmful chemicals nor react with them, which is a blissful addition to any kitchen.
Scientific Evidence
Earthen pots contain natural minerals that aid in digestion. The pores in them facilitate gradual moisture evaporation even under high thermal inertia. These minerals help maintain moisture, preventing food from burning. The alkalis in clay pots neutralize the pH levels of food, which naturally boosts immunity. Acidity in food is balanced implicitly.
The old method of cooking was truly golden. Before modernization, civilization was healthy and wise enough to safeguard the environment while preserving culture and naturally maintaining people’s health—unlike today’s technological advancements and innovations. Modern civilization has obscured the naturalistic features of the world and led people toward mysterious diseases, all to the benefit of certain segments in the business system.
Natural living is healthy living. Often, the easiest ways of living are the most misleading ones. Let’s be smart in choosing a better life. Make simple changes and better choices to build salubrious habits. Preserve and practice ancient customs to echo classical wisdom in today’s adulterated society.
घटे पक्त्वा नु निर्र्व्याधिः कुम्भजलेऽस्ति भेषजम्।
प्रकृतिजननी नोऽत्र मृत्तिका सर्वदागदा॥
Having cooked the food in a clay pot, it is indeed free from diseases. Water from clay pot is medicine. Nature is our mother here (on earth). Fragrant Earth is always healthy or profound.
