Reasons Why Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury Consistently Eats What’s in Season:
Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury, after many years of curing thousands of patients using natural techniques, firmly believes in the age old saying “Mother Nature knows best”. Do not buy those apples imported from abroad that are left unripe in the stores, squeezing out the life in them due to long distances covered in cold storage. Dr. Biswaroop swears by the seasonal fruits because of their optimal energy, which compliments the body beautifully. Raw fruits like those advocated in Dr. Biswaroop’s “DIP Diet” cure conditions like ‘Diabetes’ and help children suffering from ‘Autism.’ This is why he swears by this dictum.
Winter’s Warm Hug: Oranges and Guavas
In the winters of India, Dr. Biswaroop loves to have oranges and guavas that help generate warmth inside him. Oranges have loads of vitamin C to combat colds and builds resistance to the flu virus. His personal remark is that one orange a day keeps the doctor away. Guavas are more nutritious than oranges in vitamin C content, besides which the fibre works as a cleanser for the intestines and the pectin acts as natural collagen for retaining skin elasticity keeping you younger down the ages.
Summer's Cool Relief: Mangoes & Watermelons
Summer makes mangoes the superstar in Dr. Biswaroop’s universe, particularly native ones like “Alphonso or Langda,” grown on trees and ripe. Packed with vitamins A & C, these fruits are rejuvenating and hydrating but don’t cause a sudden spike in blood sugar when consumed whole. Then there are watermelons that contain 92% water and a wonder element called lycopene that suppresses inflammation and prevents heat strokes in “the scorch.”
Monsoon’s Purifying Gift: Jamun and Litchi
Monsoon is followed by Jamun, or Black Plum, whose blood-purity properties are greatly acclaimed by Dr. Biswaroop. It is said to have a low glycemic index, which helps in stabilizing sugar levels. This is very useful for his diabetics’ course, where one of his patients managed to discontinue his insulin injection regimen due to his binge on Jamuns. Litchis have antioxidant properties, both in terms of taste and usefulness during humid conditions of digestion.
The Science and Soul of Seasonal Eating
According to Dr. Biswaroop, “Locally available fruits in sync with nature’s cycles carry ample quantities of antioxidants.” He recommends DIP diet regimen of fruits first for instant energy and then veggies and sprouts. “It’s no fad but how our ancestors remained disease-free,” he says. Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury asks each one of us to go to the nearest market, the mandi, for a fresh pick, and the result is a healthy body!
