[QUOTE="DianaMC, post: 2093017, member: 488381"] That’s a good point re medical conditions, [USER=41885]@lucylocket61[/USER]. As it happens, I now have a diagnosis of Ménière’s disease, for the dizziness and nausea I’ve been experiencing. At least it’s not T2 that is the cause! So I can be grateful for that. But the medication option, though good for relieving symptoms for bad episodes, worsens the condition if taken regularly (result: deafness). So I’m looking at alternative help and have come across Ayurvedic medicine, which is helping with other problems too. It’s a whole lifestyle approach, though, including dietary adjustments. For my types of imbalances, it is recommended to use ghee and have meat soups. Maybe vegetable ghee is an option. But I have a feeling there’s something in the meat aspect might be needed - so I either need a diet flexible enough to include it (but mostly fairly green! - hence wondering about Fuhrman’s approach) Or maybe work out some kind of veg equivalent. I’m not a great fan of tofu (assuming it’s something in protein that’s useful in an Ayurvedic diet for Vata/Pitta issues). So far, tofu has reminded me and my husband of polystyrene the last two times I cooked it (even though it was the smoked version, which had more flavour!) Might be something not ideal in my cooking technique of course. But I find myself apologising for serving something that isn’t quite hitting the ‘delicious’ mark! (We want to enjoy our food as well as be healthy - possibly a tall order, I know...) [/QUOTE]
