There is a great distinction between the manner in which Diet is evaluated under the Western system and Indian System. We under SHARP-SUVED prefer the Indian System of evaluation as this is largely customized to the patients needs with practical basic guidelines. Moreover, we take into consideration the Constitution of the person, life style, need of energy, age, sex, and cultural habits and then decide the intake; rather than restrict food to the calorie and vitamin evaluation. Indian foods are easily available and affordable to the local masses. Our experience has been that most of the Diet books followed are on Western parameters where life style, available food types, climate and genetic profile of the common man is greatly different from the Indian or Asian person, and so should not be evaluated on the same basis. In India and Asia, we are a nation of snowy mountains, fertile plains, waste deserts, costal wet lands and hot topical, all considered as one area. It is impossible to do justice on a generalized manner throughout the country. Having stated this, it is important to note one fact. Nature has provided a very balanced variety of foods/ plants and animals that will nurture the body and help maintain balanced health and overcome disease in every region of the world. Diet should depend on the following factors: State of body, health: We have lean people, stocky built people who will never fit into rigid body-mass ranges. Instead, if we can open our minds to the family traits, culture, age and sex, we will be able to classify in a better manner who is overweight or under weight. Time of disease evaluation; (before symptoms of disease; after confirmation of disease etc.) pathological reports give a guideline to the extent of the disease and these reports along with age, life style, need of patient should be customized for maximum effect. When we state that we do not fall sick in one day, it is understood that the body will try to balance metabolic disturbances with production of certain enzymes, hormones, natural antioxidants etc to rebalance the health of the body. For example, under stress, certain hormones cause increase in blood pressure. When the incidences of High Blood Pressure keep repeating, the person cannot ignore the symptoms and investigations will declare him/her to suffer from High BP and medication will be prescribed. It is possible to support the body with specific food guidelines that will balance the BP as well as wash out the free radicals created by the excessive hormone the body produces. Genetic makeup, cultural tradition (food habits that will decide digestion habits) for example; persons living in the coastal regions have fish and rice as a regular part of their diet. Recommending wheat, corn, root vegetables will strain their digestion and do more harm than help in spite of the nutritive contents of these foods. Heavy rice eaters of the South balance their intake with coconut oil and tamarind that will balance the carbohydrate. Tamarind in these proportions will result in acute acidity for someone in the plains like in Haryana or Punjab. For Heart Diseases, there are some food types that will reduce the burden of disease. At the same time, there are some food types that will harm the body irrespective of the depth of disease, his/her genetic makeup , age or region from where the person comes. If we can reduce free radicals using high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) foods or supplements then this issue is best addressed naturally. We wish to use a word of caution here: while using foods and nutrition to rebalance the body, it is of utter importance to choose those food types that match the body constitution. Secondly, even if any kind of food is available in the market on demand now-a-days, we have to respect nature, and use those foods that our body is naturally tuned to digest. That is, only choose local foods (vegetables, fruits, grain etc). It is a logical statement that exotic fruits and vegetables are great for fashion, but the body which is grown from local soils, is best nurtured by the products of the local soil. AVOID THESE FOODS: Heart disease, especially atherosclerosis, plaque deposition, rigidity in vascular status is worsened by the following foods and these should be avoided; or to be stopped altogether depending on the severity of the condition: Foods containing higher proportions of cholesterol like yolk of the egg, meat preparations and saturated fats as found in buffalo ghee, butter and cream products. Foods containing large portions of spices, chillie. Fried foods. Salt and Salty foods Sweet or direct sugar based foods Long preserved foods like pickles Canned, frozen, bottled and foods with any grade of preservatives, food colorants, flavors, taste enhancers as all of these create oxidative food byproducts that react as blood toxins in larger proportions. Sometimes it is not the content, but the volume of food eaten that becomes a risk to good health. It is said that if we make it a habit to eat 3 morsels LESS than the feeling of food satiation, we will remain healthy · More on Diet & Heart
