Wholesome Nutrition for Mind, Body, and Microflora: The Goal of Lacto-vegetarianism (recipes of Udipi Cuisine Included)Interprets scientific research on human nutrition from a holistic, evolutionary perspective. It highlights the nutritional needs of three entities that comprise a human being: the brain, other organs of the body and the intestinal microflora. The authors present original research that in their opinion justifies a conclusion that a diet which emphasizes bulk and variety based on complex carbohydrates, whole grains, vegetables, fruits and some milk or yogurt is a protective diet. They assert that such a diet allows a healthy development and functioning of the three entities; it will prevent, or speed recovery from, degenerative diseases and establish a foundation for high quality longevity. |
