Quality content

Rujuta's views, and her research in local produce, and traditional recipes, are a feast for our minds. Not all traditions are outdated. Simply put, eat freshly made items, raw where possible, and in moderations, while we find opportunities to stay active.
Wish the narration was better. Narrator was not conversant with many words, mostly Marathi ones.

Great book for today's diet fad world

Very apt guide on nutrition, body, what to eat and know how for today's generation.

today's generation is missing out on grandma's tastey nutritious home cooked meal to industrial fast food.

A must listen, read to people of all age group.

Terribly read and repetitive content

First, the book itself shares critical insights on nutrition, the fitness industry and myths surrounding both. However, it gets repetitive quickly and you've caught on to the main points about 1/4th way through.

What really bothered me is how badly read it is. The reader sounds Indian but gets almost none of the Indian dishes' names right (especially the south Indian ones) and she can't seem to pronounce even basic English words correctly.

Desi is best.

Fully explained how local is best for our health, not imported. Great explanation of how food industry is destroying original nutrition science.Why ancient food wisdom is important for better health.

Dieting!

Rujjuta made the whole gambit of dieting, detox & other un-necessary products of multi nationals as a great sham & money making for them & for the user loss of health very loud & clear in her new book. A must read for everyone especially women. The book contains so many native glfood items we have forgotten/ neglected or omitted b/c of false narratives by vested interests and as a result the production / cultivation of those products itself has dwindeled to the extent that our children& their children will curse our generation for aping Western media and business houses. Narration by Prachi Chaube is at its best all thru the book. A should not miss audible.

Informative and enjoyable

Informative with a lively narrative. Expressive reading. Only pronunciation of Indian words could be better.

Though felt repetitive, it drove the message.

Though the content felt repetitive, it sent the message it wanted to deliver, go for it. it could have been good had the narrator got accustomed to the terms used in the book before starting the narrative
