The right kind of food can prevent almost all chronic diseases, cure most of them, enhance our immunity, help our brain function well, keep us happy, keep us young, repair our DNA, and enrich all the dimensions of life.
Ayurveda is an ancient health care system from India which has been practiced all over India for the last 5000 years. From India this knowledge has travelled to numerous countries like Nepal, China and even to Europe. It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has. Hippocrates
