We are a three-women team committed to a daily better health for all. Mrs. Aruna Patil aged 61 years is a homemaker and an entrepreneur now. Mrs. Kirti Salunkhe is an IT Engineering graduate and was working in the IT industry. Mrs. Punam Patil is a Computer engineer and was a working IT professional. Our mission of ‘Good health for all’ was largely influenced by the senior most member of our team, Mrs. Aruna Patil. A village trip with Mrs. Aruna changed the course of our lives. Here we got introduced to the process of extracting cooking and other oils through an age old and natural process; which is commonly referred to as the ‘Ghani oil’. With a simple mortar and pestle made of wood; the peanuts, seeds or coconut is crushed to extract oil. As no additives are involved, the natural flavor and goodness of the groundnuts, seeds or coconut remain intact in the oil extracted.
We decided to do a study on the cooking oils and after doing a detailed project on the popular cooking oils, we were astonished to know that the most widely used refined oils are harmful for our health, although it looks and smells better than the pure oil extracted by natural process! Studying the health benefits of the natural cooking oils gave us a mission. We decided to spread the goodness and make a positive difference to the health of people by replacing the harmful refined cooking oil with naturally extracted cooking oil. We thus left our IT jobs and teamed up with Mrs. Aruna Patil to form ‘Green Habits’.
आम्ही सर्वांच्या चांगल्या आरोग्यासाठी वचनबद्ध अश्या तीन महिलांचा संघ आहे. 61 वर्षे वय असलेल्या श्रीमती अरुणा पाटील गृहिणी आणि उद्योजक आहेत. श्रीमती किर्ती साळुंखे आयटी अभियांत्रिकी स्नातक आहेत आणि आयटी उद्योगात काम करीत होत्या. श्रीमती पूनम पाटील ह्या संगणक अभियंता असून त्या आयटी प्रोफेशनल होत्या. ‘सर्वे संतू निरामयाः’ ही आमची मोहिम, मोठ्या प्रमाणात आमच्या कार्यसंघातील ज्येष्ठ सदस्या श्रीमती अरुणा पाटील ह्यांच्या विचारांनी प्रभावित आहे. सौ.अरुणा यांच्यासमवेत गावाला दिलेल्या भेटी मूळे आमच्या आयुष्यात हा मोठा बदल झाला. गावात आम्हाला जुन्या आणि नैसर्गिक प्रक्रियेद्वारे तेल काढण्याच्या प्रक्रियेचा परिचय झाला; ज्याला सामान्यतः ‘घाणी तेल’ असे म्हणतात. लाकडापासून बनवलेल्या खल आणि बत्ता ह्या उपकरणांचा उपयोग करून; तेल काढण्यासाठी शेंगदाणे, बिया किंवा नारळ चुरले जातात. हे तेल बनवताना कोणतेही रासायनिक पदार्थ समाविष्ट नसतात. ह्यामुळे शेंगदाणे, बियाणे किंवा नारळाची नैसर्गिक चव आणि चांगुलपणा काढलेल्या तेलामध्ये कायम असते. आम्ही स्वयंपाकाच्या तेलांवर अभ्यास करण्याचा निर्णय घेतला आणि लोकप्रिय स्वयंपाकाच्या तेलांवर विस्तृत प्रकल्प केल्यानंतर आम्ही आश्चर्यचकित झालो की सर्वात जास्त वापरल्या जाणारे रिफाईंड केलेले तेल आमच्या आरोग्यासाठी हानिकारक आहे. ते शुद्ध तेलापेक्षा चांगले दिसते आणि चांगला गंध अन्नात आणते, पण हे रिफाईंड तेल आरोग्याला खराब करते!
नैसर्गिक रित्या बनविलेल्या तेलांचा आरोग्यावरील होणाऱ्या फायद्यांचा अभ्यास केल्याने आम्हाला एक मिशन मिळाले. हानिकारक रीफाइंड स्वयंपाक तेल बदलून लोकांनी नैसर्गिक तेलाच्या चांगुलपनाला आत्मसात करावं जेने करून लोकांच्या आरोग्यामध्ये सकारात्मक बदल होईल ह्या उद्देशानी आम्ही आमच्या आयटीच्या नौकऱ्या सोडल्या आणि श्रीमती अरुणाबरोबर ग्रीन हॅबिट्स कंपनी स्थापित केली.
