A good diet consists of green vegetables, vegetables and daal. Brown rice with vegetables is the usual top and favoured by many athletes. Light steamed green vegetables as accompanying food to any dish. Light heated lentils, urid or chickpea is another. Added nuts n seed will give it a boost. Baajri or makhi roti over kank is more nutritional but hard to make. For breakfast the right porridge or oats is highly beneficial or natural grown cereal (weetabix, Shreddies) usually whole wheat. 

What did I mean by right porridge? One that has no sugar and shows a high content of vitamins and minerals. In UK Ready Brek is a great example. Asda own brand, Ready Oats, is much tastier and low price. 

Have this sort of meal three times a week where daal and sabjia are light steamed, no tadka then the body and mind will feel boosted, happy and energetic. 

 

Where has this come from? Your personal diet/experience?

Which athletes - please give examples ?

What is wrong with tardka ?

Are spices not helpful in the diet ?

How much do you recommend to eat? Big meals or small meals ? Snacks ?

Drinks ?

What is your source of calcium, Vitamin D3 as you've left out dairy products, essential for strong teeth and bones. 

NHS website source (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamins-and-minerals/calcium/) for calcium includes (which OP mentioned).

green leafy vegetables – such as curly kale, okra and spinach.

Vitamin D is mainly from sunlight for most people. NHS recommends all people to take a supplement like tablet or capsule

True. But I wouldn't abandon the Indian diet that had sustained and thrived us for millinea.  An American chap even reversed his 4th stage cancer using cow products  having been given 6 months to live. 

You cannot abandon the Indian diet, there is probably a lot good with it but you have look it in context.

Our lifestyles are very  different then compared to now. The levels of vitamin D in our system is very different now then it was then. The type of wheat we eat compared to what flour our roti used to consist of is very different.

The types of fat we consumed was different then compared to what we have now. Our level of satiation after a meal is very different now compared to then.

There is a push towards veganism that should be resisted. The West has been criticising dairy for decades as they want to get rid of animals from our diet as part of the NWO Agenda. They did not even mention that Vit D3/zinc is a cure for Covid19 in their bid to push vaccines. 

There is a push towards veganism. Veganism is probably even more unnatural because a lot of things they are doing are done in a lab.

There is a symbiotic relationship between soil and animals, both sustain each other.

Imagine how many billions of livestock would have to be destroyed.

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
