We have a farm with cows and at the age of 14, my daughter made the connection and decided to stop consuming milk products. Her regular nose blocks stopped, and most importantly her sleep quality improved and she started feeling more energetic. This was important for her as she is an athlete. She also felt her recovery was much quicker. In spite of the people around her insisting on animal protein and supplements like whey protein, she ensures that she remains plant-based.
When Dr Nandita Shah had a seminar in Bangalore, I jumped at the opportunity as I wanted to delve deeper. Due to overall stress, there was a spike in my BP readings and our general doctor prescribed medicine. That’s when I decided to go completely whole food plant-based, as otherwise a little bit of dairy and refined foods used to slip into our diet. Also, salads were something that I wasn’t committed to.
The diet not only brought down my BP levels but my issues with snoring, mild fibromyalgia, depletion in energy levels also were addressed. I lost 7 kilos of weight and wake up much fresher, unlike earlier where I would wake up groggy due to inadequate sleep.
I am extremely happy to have gone this route with Dr Nandita. Thank you.
