Microwaved and left over food question

[Guest guest]

What exactly is the stance of Ayurveda on microwaved and left over food?

How does the microwaving affect the prana of the food. What is said to happen

to food if it is saved from a previous meal to be eaten later. I am seeking an

Ayurvedic perspective.

 

Thanks,

Ayurveda prefers cooking on a flame (or electric) stove and oven. Microwaving is

considered to damage or even destroy the life-energy of food.

 

Since Ayurveda encourages quality and quantity of food, I would say that

leftovers might be discouraged when possible. But I too would like to hear more

about that.

Namaste and hello, Mohan Joshi.

 

What you say is very true. However, both Vamadeva Dr. David Frawley

in his Ayurvedic Medicine course, and Atreya in his Ayurvedic

Nutrition course, do refer to Microwaving as not being recommended.

This may well be simply because of the "science" behind microwaving,

science, that is, of the style of food preparation, and the impact

of microwaving in general on health, that may be the cause of its

being less preferred in Ayurveda.

Hi,

Microwaving is considered to damage or

even destroy the life-energy of food already in our time and this is like

leftovers which Ayurveda considers very harmful.
