Samosa, Laado And Heart Disease..

I just wanted to know if any Gudware about there run any health-awareness schemes within the Sikhi community? Or have any specific aerobics or sports/exercise events for the Sikhi community?

If you do, please tell me/us about it and whether it attracts a lot of Sangat and helps the Sangat.

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

All fat man, not good!!

Todays Singhs lack discipline. If we ate responsibly then we wouldn't be so overweight and suffering from so-many related illnesses

Most people know the dangers of over-eating. Look at our pot-bellied Granthis, Fathers and Uncles. It's embarrasing.

Many people in our Kaum are overweight, lazy abdun-healthy through lack of exercise and over-indulgence. The ironic thing is that this is NOT what our Guru Sahib's preached to us.

We always need to remember that we are part of a disciplined army and must always be fit and healthy ready for anything.

waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh!!

yup...all the giannis at siri harminder sahib are pretty fat every morning on alpha.

in our local gurdwara..they serve tea with and without sugar..i know its not that much but its a start!

as for the ladoos and gulab jamans (or cholesterol bombs as i call it - make ur heart explode )...we need to educate our people as much as possible...for example my family are jalaybee lovers (the very hot ones)..ok ok i admit i have a sweet tooth too..but the fact that its sugary stuff fried in oil doesnt really sound that good for you and so naturally my family and i have cut down the amount (and frequency) on sweets.

I think if one gurdwara shows by example by always having a healthy langar..i'm sure it will stop this common trend of fry-ups every morning. Langar on a sunday could comprise of:

6am-9am = porridge/cereals/fruit/water!

9am-12pm = toast/tea...erm cant think of anything else :lol: ...(ok bring back the samosay!)

12pm-2pm = roti with daals and sabjis made sparingly with olive oil/rapeseed oil..with as much salt as possible, not to mention plenty of salad and fruit!

ok forget this plan...just make everyone do 50 pressups followed by 10 laps around the gurdwara car park..then you can have all the samosay and ladoos you want (ignore this sentence)

I was thinking of running a health-scheme in our local gudwara, checking for blood-pressure, cholesterol, dietary advice etc etc...but there are NO overweight men in our Gudwara...LOL!

I'm sure I'll find some...somewhere!!!!
