Diet has an important role to play in management of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease (CKD)
These life style diseases are leading causes of morbidity and mortality all over the world.
Knowing that diet can have a great impact on these life style diseases, one wonders why it is not widely practiced? This is because when one talks about dietary modification it gives a feeling about a diet that is very different from one that one enjoys and something very difficult to follow This is not necessarily true
This book shows that it is possible to enjoy modified diet when it is prepared in the right way. My hope is that by reading it, you will gain the knowledge and have a healthier, enjoyable diet
For me, this book isn’t just a book it’s a mission. It is a mission to provide different recipes which will make healthy diet enjoyable and if followed, can bring down the rising incidence of life style diseases. The author has compiled the healthy recipes from regular workshops organized every year and I am confident that all will find it very useful in following a diet that is not only enjoyable but also very healthy.
