The basic foundation for a healthy individual starts from his fetal stage with proper and healthy nutrition derived from his or her mother. Hence, a pregnant woman's diet stands atop all diets.
Your food shall be your medicine. Ayurveda has postulated the role of food and especially nutritive foods for maintaining health as well as cure of
diseases. Nutrients are necessary for the proper functioning of mental, physical, metabolic, chemical and hormonal activities. The body is like a
machine that will repair and rebuild itself provided proper nutrition is provided by way of food.
Sumptuous nutrition is available in fruits and vegetables. Fruits have the capacity to give all that a body needs.
