Modern perspective on appropriate diet

Hindu Dharma (Righteousness) considers food to be Divine. To help the body function properly, ‘diet’ is a very important aspect. This holy text provides detailed information on the analysis according to modern medical science on the constituents of the body and diet, such as the proportion and function of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and water. Details have also been provided on the harmful effects of consuming too much or too less of these items, what a balanced diet is and in what proportion should we consume it. Information in this text will not only be useful for Vaidyas (Ayurveda practitioners), doctors and students, but also for every individual.
