About this title

Synopsis

The authors' passion for Ayurveda, Nutrition and Wellness has given rise to this primer in a format that is very user friendly. This handbook on Ayurveda is written as a practical guide for Dietitians, Nutritionists and other healthcare professionals to integrate Ayurvedic principles into their practice, and to provide a holistic approach to counseling patients/clients. It includes the basic outline of Ayurveda, key principles, a description of body types and its relevance to modern nutrition, as well as appropriate diet and lifestyle recommendations. Food as medicine being the main premise of Ayurveda, this book details the ways in which food can be used for nourishment and wellness. As spices constitute an integral part of Ayurveda, a detailed table outlining their properties and uses is provided along with reference to studies supporting their health benefits. The highlight of the book is that it provides the practitioner, assessment questions to use in counseling, based on their own practice, which will facilitate more personalized counseling and compliance. Tables and figures offer a quick reference at a glance.
