June 1, 2020The traditional Indian culture, its values, food habits, heritage, spiritual beliefs, positive outlook towards life and challenges have much to offer. From the simple heartfulness of the ‘Namaste’ greeting, which the world seems to have adopted in lieu of shaking hands, to the use of turmeric and other culinary herbs and spices, vegetarianism (life force cannot be obtained from a dead animal), to the marvellous practices of Yoga and Ayurveda, all of which are helpful in the practice of disease prevention and supporting the body’s own amazing healing powers. Here are a few that are worth considering.
