The South Asian Health Solution: A Culturally Tailored Guide to Lose Fat, Increase Energy and Avoid Disease

This is book is brilliantly tailored for the South Asian community who, both in the UK and US, are one of the most high risk ethnic groups when it comes to heart disease and diabetes, etc. He has superb chapters dealing with common issues that arise with South Asians: high blood pressure, insulin resistance; special chapters about the elderly, women and children where he deals with unhelpful cultural traditions that only exacerbate poor health. I bought this when I found out my mum suddenly got high blood pressure and was immediately given medication. I read the relevant chapters and within a month she no longer needed tablets - lifestyle changes identified in the book were sufficient. The greatest achievement of this book is drawing our attention to the NHS/WHO/food industry sponsored low-fat, high carb farce. Instead of obsessing with cholesterol figures, Sinha's 'metabolic 6-pack' approach is far more helpful. With Asians buying drums of vegetable oil to fry their daily high carb meals, it's no wonder we have a cultural health crisis. Buy this book and promote it to your relatives and especially to South Asian GPs - too many of whom are ignorant of the dire consequences of their statin-obsessed prescriptions. If South Asian doctors could just read and apply this book (each chapter ends with advice to medical professionals), I'm certain there would be a real improvement in healthcare.

Great book. Very clear instructions on good health through good food and fewer carbohydrates.

A must read for all south Asians! A great read for everyone's clouding health care professionals with real life patient cases and real world examples.
