Our food choices are driven by what we subconsciously feed to our brain, influenced by advertisements, peers, societal norms and many environmental factors. Immaculately designed packets and their strategic placement on store shelves compel us into buying foods that, in reality, we do not need. These are the foods that deteriorate our overall health, particularly the gut, when in fact, the gut defines and influences every aspect of our health-from digestion and weight to mood, hormonal balance and immunity. And gut health can only be enhanced by eating nutritionally rich, wholesome foods.

Heal with Foods puts the focus on gut health for promoting overall well-being. It takes the reader on the journey of exploration, reflecting on factors that influence our diet and gut health. Deeply researched and full of nutritional insights, the book highlights life-changing ingredients that can serve as a magical remedy for preventing and reversing chronic diseases while enhancing general well-being.

Acclaimed nutritionist Manjari Chandra offers a revolutionary book that will make you rethink the foods you buy and allow you to gain a fresh perspective on nutrition as a core facet of healing and being healthy.

Manjari Chandra is a functional nutritionist, wellness coach and author of Eat Up, Clean Up. She is also the founder of Manjari Wellness-a platform providing holistic consultation to help people lead a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition.

She works as a consultant functional nutritionist at Daivam and has been offering her services in leading hospitals of India, including Max Healthcare, Manipal Hospital, Columbia Asia and many more. Having more than 20 years of work experience, she has been at the forefront advocating changes in lifestyle and consumption of nutritious food. Her contributions to the field have helped her win the Global Choice Award 2021, 'Women Icon of the Year (Wellness Author and Coach), ASSOCHAM Award for 'Popular Consultant in the Field of Wellness and Nutrition' and many others.

Manjari has also appeared as a health expert on multiple television channels, including NDTV, India Today, Zee Business, Mirror Now and Aaj Tak. She lives in New Delhi with her husband and two daughters.

A healthy diet, along with physical activity, is fundamental element of health and wellness. But, with no time to take care of one's health and readily available unhealthy temptations around, having a balanced diet is easier said than achieved. Moreover, there are still many misconceptions around healthy foods, with everybody becoming a nutrition expert nowadays.

More than what to eat, when to eat and how much to eat are important aspects of healthy eating. With misleading information available on healthy foods and their preparations, the need for a credible source goes up.

Heal with Foods is one such book that is backed by in-depth research and is full of useful information about foods that have the potential to heal. Being someone who has advocated for beauty through natural ways, I find this book both effective and relevant in today's time.

From addressing issues like reasons for unhealthy food choices and importance of gut health to re-discovering those magical forgotten foods, Manjari has tried to add every possible ingredient of health and wellness in the book.

I can associate myself with Manjari's idea of nutrition that has its roots in nature. I particularly like her idea of shifting to traditional ways of cooking and eating. Beauty, according to me, is a reflection of one's health and wellness. And when you eat right, choosing natural and seasonal foods, you will be healthy from inside and beautiful from outside.

Amidst all the information available through different media channels, Heal with Foods attempts to simplify healing and being healthy by focusing on what we eat. It takes the reader on a journey to rediscover nutritious foods items which were once highly regarded by the previous generations but came to be overshadowed and forgotten as the food industry grew.

The book serves as a mirror to reflect our current eating behaviour, explaining how we have reached here by revealing the factors that influence our food choices. Later, it highlights life-changing ingredients that can serve as a magical remedy to not only prevent but also reverse the progression of various chronic disorders. It shares nutritional insights of these magical ingredients that can contribute to enhancing personal well- being.

The gut defines and influences every aspect of our health, from digestion, body weight, mood to hormonal balance and immunity. As the gut begins to heal, our body eventually detoxifies itself; the gut health can only be enhanced by eating nutritional food. Offering metabolic insights, the book emphasizes on promoting gut health and explains how the intestine impacts our overall well-being.

With the pandemic, maintaining one's health has become a priority for everybody. Taking undue advantage, food companies are misleading consumers with claims about the health benefits their products offer.
