FOREWORD
According to Vedic Sciences, one should follow certain basic principles
regarding food intake to keep away the diseases. The slogan "Diet as Drug"
needs to be popularized to fight against life style diseases in a safe and
affordable way.
I am extremely delighted to know that the National Institute of
Naturopathy (NIN), Pune has brought out a book on "Naturopathy Diet &
Recipes". An attempt has been made through this book to introduce diet
recipes devoid of harmful ingredients and yet delicious and helpful in
promoting positive health.
I am sure this attempt will certainly be a golden feather in the cap of the
. Institute which is dedicated to make the general public aware about the
benefits of Naturopathy which helps in maintaining good health, prevention
and cure of diseases.
My hearty congratulations to all those who worked hard in bringing out
this book.
