Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu launched celebrity nutritionist and author Munmum Ganeriwal's new book 'Yuktahaar: The Belly and Brain Diet' at an event in Mumbai on March 31. Munmun Ganeriwal is a gut microbiome specialist who combines her knowledge with ancient Ayurveda principles to understand and fight lifestyle diseases. In 'Yuktahaar: The Belly and Brain Diet', Munmun attempts to simplify the science behind eating right and diets for the readers.
In 'Yuktahaar: The Belly and Brain Diet' Munmun argues that the main reason why diets don't work is because they are focused on the people, rather than the gut microbiomes. "Nearly all chronic issues are rooted in an imbalanced microbiome. Disruption in the balance of your belly-based microscopic community not only causes weight gain and increases the risk of chronic diseases but also impacts our mood, behavior, happiness, and a general sense of well-being... In this book, Munmun gives an actionable 10-week holistic program that encourages a gut balancing lifestyle, consisting of season-wise meal plans, recipes, exercise routines, sleep hygiene tips, and yoga practice. The book also charts actress Taapsee Pannu's phenomenal physical transformation while working with Munmun," reads the book's blurb.
