First step towards understanding food.........

Food is the source of energy, provides nourishment to the body and is thus the driving force behind all body processes. Diet has always been the basis and the basic requirement to lead a healthy life. We all know that having the right kind of food will bring us health and and indulgence can lead to many disease conditions. We, the dietitians, are trained to use food for their nutritive as well as their therapeutic value. We can design diets to suit individual needs and medical conditions and can help our clients to better suite themselves to the medical problems they are facing or fighting.

I have always believed that "food" has a lot more to offer than just the nutritive value.......
The curative and preventive properties of foods always amaze me and and i am sure food cannot be "summed up" on just the calories it can provide.

I want to share about how simple day-to day foods can be used very effectively to combat simple health issues that we face everyday.......... explore and learn more on their preventive and curative attributes.......... try and see if we find any missing links on the way to complete the "Health-puzzle".......... and try to find solutions by making a few modifications in our food to make it most fulfilling for our new lifestyles.

Shraddha,
Nice start... hope this blog goes on to become a wealth of info...

Ayurveda states that food must have the three properties before being partaken..mainly
HituBhuk
RituBhuk and
MituBhuk

self explanatory for most of the Marathi speaking persons here...once selected food is partaken keeping these principles in mind.. one does not fall ill and remains healthy...

Seems I too will start a blog... just the raves and rants... of the common daily events.
