Ayurvedic practitioners have certainly been busy. A handful of new Ayurveda books were published recently, all with some serious contributions to modern nutrition and wellness.
These 5 came to our attention and we had to share.
If you or someone you love has a gluten or dairy intolerance, you’ll definitely want to check this out.
As you know, the gluten-free diet is one of the most widespread diets today, adopted by restaurants and major food product companies everywhere. But gluten-containing grains have been consumed for thousands upon thousands of years. Are we really just now intolerant of gluten or does the issue lie elsewhere?
In his new book ‘Eat Wheat’, Dr. John Douillard gets to the root of the problem with wheat – fixing a weak digestive system. Dr. Douillard suggests that once digestion is back on track and toxins have been eliminated, you can comfortably and in moderation, get wheat back into your diet.
His approach combines ancient Ayurvedic medicine with modern day research. When the body is gently cleansed and appropriate eating habits are re-established, the body, mind and emotions really do begin to function at their best. Dive into ‘Eat Wheat’ to get a bigger picture of your health. This is groundbreaking stuff.
Divya Alter’s new cookbook ‘What To Eat For How You Feel’ contains 100 recipes arranged into 3 seasonal chapters. Nervous about trying Ayurvedic cooking? Don’t be! These recipes are adapted for the western cook, moving beyond the boundaries of India into Asia, Italy and France. You’ll also find Ayurvedic staples like cultured ghee and fresh cheese. So now you can look forward to a variety of Ayurveda-approved ways to get through your day.
Thank you Divya!
