4 – 5:30pm IST daily, except Sunday.
This course will provide information on what Ayurveda says about food, in terms of its classification and application to daily dietary habits. Where appropriate, brief comparisons to modern nutritional concepts will be discussed.
Ayurveda dietetics are for the individual, based on your nature, local context and age. We will provide an overview of the philosophy to understand this individuality, the logic underlying it’s use to design a diet and daily diet advice in Ayurveda. Through a few examples – pregnancy, diabetes, iron-deficiency anaemia and brain health – we will discuss how an integrative approach of Ayurveda and modern dietetics may work.
Do note that this course will not discuss recipes, herbs for treating diseases or clinical management of diseases. While we will make this course interactive, it is mainly suitable for those with an academic interest in what the Ayurveda shastras say about food.
A handout that covers terminology will be provided, but these are not sufficiently detailed. Participants are expected to make their own notes during the lecture. These are live sessions; recordings for each lecture will be available for viewing for the next 24 hours. PPTs will not be shared.
This batch is open to the public. However, do note that the content has been designed keeping in mind the curriculum that Indian undergraduate students in food, nutrition and dietetics are exposed to. If you are not sure if this course is for you, please email wellness@tdu.edu.in with your background information.
10th Dec – 16th Dec; 4 – 5:30pm IST daily, except Sunday.
