NUTRITION
Notes
Maricarmen Weiss says
In India they don’t etat too much raw vegetables and that is a great way of eating because basing in Ayurveda Cience the stomac does not digest well raw veg. and that cloggs the digestion and gest fermented. I think that people from India should not try to force their fantastic way of eating just because in western world we appretiate like a good eating fiber and raw food. That congests the systems according to Ayurved on the other hand; Indians shoud TEACH us the fantastic and totally perfect way of their ancestral way of preparing food and not to please the stupid way of beeing vegetarian in this part of the world. Vegetarian in this part of the world don’t have any scientific support to eat in that awful way. They count calories insted of looking the good digestion of the digestive system that will keep the good health and good nutrition of the body so a well nurished ody will not e fat nor skiny.
