Everything with good health is summing up with Good Diet and Exercises. Dr. Foram Malde , Dietitian  Nutritionist said 'The diets of most Indian people are heavily influenced by religion, particularly Hinduism. The Hindu religion teaches nonviolence and that all living things should be valued equally.That’s why a lacto-vegetarian diet is encouraged, and eating meat, poultry, fish and eggs is discouraged. Lacto-vegetarians do, however, eat dairy products.

A healthy lacto-vegetarian diet should focus on grains, lentils, dairy, vegetables, fruits and healthy fats like coconut oil. Spices such as turmeric, fenugreek, coriander, ginger and cumin are at the forefront of traditional dishes, adding rich flavor and powerful nutritional benefits.

The entire programme was well designed and members thoroughly enjoyed the talks. We Are Really thankful to HN Reliance Hospital for this awareness programme.
