FLO LEARNING SERIES – 5 “REBOOT WITH NUTRITION ”- MIND ,BODY & MENOPAUSE

The 5th workshop in the FLO Hyderabad’s Learning series was on a very pertinent topic “REBOOT WITH NUTRITION”- Mind,Body and Menopause on October 30 th, 2019 at The Park, Hyderabad by acclaimed nutritionist Ms.Sridevi Jasti.

Sridevi Jasti is a reverent food lover and believes in the ‘pure, simple food as medicine’ thought. She taught that holistic health not only means a healthy lifestyle, but also needs to include the awareness of how crops are grown and how soil is treated. That it is imperative to always consider long term impacts of growing such food with the knowledge that if our lands are not treated well, we will never achieve sustainable results. And that the only way forward is when nature and humans are in a healthy balance.

Sridevi also reiterated and demonstrated that healthy food can indeed be tasty by showing us practical’s and made us sample them also. Since our eating habits are connected to our emotions, she explained, it is important that eating be an enjoyable experience. Many prescribed diets are too challenging and hence failing, because they feel too restrictive and unappealing. Positive and healthful changes are possible only when a person integrates *tasty* nutrition in their lifestyle.

Sridevi’s keen palette, passion and experiences allowed her to make creative dishes with minimal, fresh ingredients that are fresh and locally grown. Sridevi said natural foods are easy on our systems and that if we use healthy ways of cooking (also avoiding deep frying, over processing), even simple foods can fortify us greatly.
