THE ULTIMATE HEALTHY FOOD

The Ultimate Healthy Food & Nutrition Guide by Saravanan is a plain-language guide to healthy eating. It uses everyday Indian and international foods and avoids fads, miracle foods and strict rules. It follows WHO and ICMR-NIN guidance.

• Part I, Healthy eating basics: what healthy eating means, the balanced plate, calories, portion sizes and variety, and building habits that last.

• Part II, Essential nutrients: carbohydrates and whole grains, protein, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals, fibre, and water.

• Recipe preview: Vegetable Moong Dal Chilla, Lemon Chickpea Salad Bowl and Palak Dal, each with nutrition estimates and substitutions.

Every chapter has quick tables, a "Common Mistakes" box, a "Put It Into Practice" section and key takeaways. The book is aimed at beginners and busy families who want a simple, realistic way to eat better.
