Kon Asukhe Ki Khaben by Dr. Shyamal Chakrabarty [Hardcover]

"In ancient India, during the time of Charaka and Sushruta, the concepts of food and diet underwent significant changes through gradual evolution. However, many misconceptions and superstitions about daily food habits still persist in the minds of most people in this country. As a result, almost everyone remains concerned about what to eat and what not to eat. Which foods will cause illness, and which foods will cure it? This book provides scientifically grounded answers to these questions and curiosities in the light of modern medical science. In an engaging manner, almost like storytelling, various misconceptions about food items are debunked. An effort has been made to establish a healthy understanding of food. The book not only covers dietary recommendations for patients but also provides detailed discussions on nutritious daily foods. It resolves any doubts about what to eat and what not to eat in both healthy and unhealthy states. The book includes extensive food lists, over thirty nutritional charts, and charts for drinking water. It also contains twenty-four international dietary guidelines for preventing cancer. This book will guide readers to the right food not only in sickness but also in the pursuit of happiness. This is the first scientifically grounded book of its kind in Bengali."
