Summary
Have you ever wondered why diets just don't seem to work？ In Yuktahaar， award-winning nutritionist Munmun Ganeriwal argues that the reason why none of the diets in the past have seemed to work is because they focused on the wrong cause-you， the reader。 While we may continue to have a fling with low carb， vegan， low fat diets and everything in between but a long-lasting solution may never be found if we do not shift our focus from 'you' to 'them'-the human-gut microbiome connection。
Nearly all chronic issues are rooted in an imbalanced microbiome。 Disruption in the balance of your belly-based microscopic community not only causes weight gain and increases the risk of chronic diseases but also impacts our mood， behavior， happiness， and a general sense of well-being。
In this book， Munmun gives an actionable 10-week holistic program that encourages a gut balancing lifestyle， consisting of season-wise meal plans， recipes， exercise routines， sleep hygiene tips， and yoga practice。 The book also charts actress Taapsee Pannu's phenomenal physical transformation while working with Munmun。 With a focus on combining traditional， regional Indian foods with evidence-backed tips， Yuktahaar will transform your relationship with food and rebalance your gut for a leaner and healthier you。

There exists a time when every one of us had been going through a diet or at least you have heard of someone who goes through the diet。 A healthy diet is a very vital aspect of happy living。 It is important to consume healthy foods for a healthy body and a healthy mind。 I'm very conscious about my health and so does everyone but we often miss to keep the track of our food intake。 We can't deny the fact that nowadays we consume foods for taste rather than for their nutritive values。 Medical-relat There exists a time when every one of us had been going through a diet or at least you have heard of someone who goes through the diet。 A healthy diet is a very vital aspect of happy living。 It is important to consume healthy foods for a healthy body and a healthy mind。 I'm very conscious about my health and so does everyone but we often miss to keep the track of our food intake。 We can't deny the fact that nowadays we consume foods for taste rather than for their nutritive values。 Medical-related non-fictional books are so rare around the world。 The book illuminates the important facts which are deeply informative。 The author beautifully narrates the imbalanced microbiome that causes defective nutrition or excessive nutrition in our bodies。 This book provides an effective 10-week holistic strategy that facilitates a gut-balancing lifestyle， comprising of health tips， healthy food recipes， season-wise meal plans， exercise and workout routines， sleep hygiene tips， and yoga practice。 The language is subtle and even a person with non-biological background would understand the context presented in the book。This book details the main problem we have in the modern food system。 Mumum aims to clear up the confusion around the nutrition and diet we take in day-to-day life。 There are many chronic diseases that are associated with unhealthy food eating habits。 Some foods which undergo certain changes during the processing have the potential to degrade our health in long term。 The book also provides physical transformation of actresses like actress Taapsee Pannu， Nayanthara， etc while working with Munmun。 This book is definitely inspiring me in many ways and I would try out the interesting diets mentioned in the book。 Even though the book's contents entices me， I would recommend the readers not to go by just reading this book alone， for good health， personal research is very important。 The book title is creative and the cover looks attractive with the author and one of her client actresses Taapsee。 Rigorously written and presented with facts and insights， this book is recommended to everyone who is keenly interested in their health although I would urge everyone to read this book。 。。。more

Scrolling through Instagram I discovered her handle。 She was talking about her new book release followed by a ten week reboot-repair-renew health program called #tenweeksofyuktahaar involving only traditional food ，ayurveda principles and yoga with basic exercise。 That perked my curiosity so much that since then I have been routinely following her posts and stories。 Needless to say， I bought the book the very next day， absorbing and taking notes of everything she offered。Undeniably I feel it’s t Scrolling through Instagram I discovered her handle。 She was talking about her new book release followed by a ten week reboot-repair-renew health program called #tenweeksofyuktahaar involving only traditional food ，ayurveda principles and yoga with basic exercise。 That perked my curiosity so much that since then I have been routinely following her posts and stories。 Needless to say， I bought the book the very next day， absorbing and taking notes of everything she offered。Undeniably I feel it’s the best book in its forte so far， one that you come back to more than often for reference。 Well researched with numerous table guides on meal plans as per our region， seasonal food guide and some age old recipes。 Being a Marwadi I finally now know the science behind basoda and bajra rabdi 。The nutritionist author have had mastered her craft for decades now， writes on how to maintain a rich and diverse gut flora by rightly glorifying and consuming our traditional food abiding to the 3Rs and spar technique。 Through thorough analysis and scientific proofs she busts fads and misconceptions about nutrition science and lets us through the journey of three phases of rebooting and renewal of our tiny gut microbiome heroes。The emphasis is on basic food weapons like ghee， khichdi， millets and herbal teas， especially her magic mix ， that I swear by after riddance of my period acne and bloating in a few days time。 A healthy link between the gut~brain axis， prevention of dysbiosis and chronic inflammation， all with basic changes in lifestyle and food habits。 PS。 I found her personal note in the book quite compelling and inspiring for the women of today。 。。。more
