Indian restaurant is reviving an ancient 5,000 year-old Eastern teaching that shows how genuine Indian Food can tackle some of modern society’s biggest health threats. Traditional Indian Food ingredients are known to nourish specific parts of the body and counteract or prevent illness.

The belief in Ayurveda has created a new menu of real Indian cuisine. Many common dishes in Asian restaurants just don’t exist on the Indian subcontinent they have been invented or adapted for western taste. Human body needs the right food to keep healthy and fight disease. Each of Ayurvedic preparation has a unique constitution and maintains the natural balance one is born with so each individual has to choose food that is good for him or her. If one get it wrong and the body becomes polluted by bad food, the balance is disturbed, and the result is disease. But that taste has become much more sophisticated in the last 20 years, which is, why Indians don’t target the late-night ‘hot curry and lager’ market. Strong English versions of a vindaloo can actually damage the stomach.

That’s how the Ayurvedic approach helps relieve or prevent conditions like stress, heart disease, diabetes and asthma. It’s a teaching that fries almonds to combat coughs, uses cinnamon to attack headaches, cloves to ease toothache, fennel to soothe sore throats, ginger for help with colds and arthritis, or garlic for blood pressure and rheumatism. Many common, traditional foods have curing or healing qualities even though modern science, these days, gives more prominence to pills, capsules and medical drugs

Indian Food is not commonly regarded as health food but the Ayurvedic way most certainly is. And, because the Ayurvedic cuisine is not all spicy, it makes a healthy business lunch or refreshing mid-day break as well as a relaxing evening meal.
