Reversing Diabetes: 2 seminars with Dr Neal Barnard held recently in Mumbai and Bangalore

SHARAN recently invited Dr Neal Barnard of the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine to conduct a seminar on Reversing Diabetes in Mumbai and Bangalore.

Participants learned how to reduce or eliminate their need for medications, lose weight and improve cholesterol levels through simple, but powerful changes to their daily diet. This program is based on breakthrough research led by Neal D. Barnard and funded by the U.S. National Institute of Health which shows that people with type 2 diabetes can improve dramatically. The focus was on healthful foods, not medications.

Over 70 participants attended the one-day seminar in Mumbai on 29^th November 2009. The Bangalore seminar ran over three days: December 4^th, 5^th and 6^th and here  the 25 participants also had the opportunity to attend cooking demonstrations by Dr Nandita Shah.
