South Asians have one of the highest risks of heart disease and diabetes in the world, and most books and content don’t address their needs in a culturally sensitive way. While traditional wisdom stresses on diet and exercise, translating it into daily life style has been a huge challenges for many.
“The South Asian Health Solution” is a book written by Dr Ronesh Sinha to address this unique challenge. Dr Sinha is an internal medicine physician for Palo Alto Medical Foundation and winner of the 2013 Silicon Valley Business Journal Health Care Hero award for his groundbreaking work with high risk South Asians. Dr Sinha runs a consult practice exclusively for high risk South Asians and delivers health education and wellness programs to prominent Silicon Valley companies and to the community.
In this book he shares his highly successful approach to reversing most chronic health conditions, especially those associated with insulin resistance (obesity, diabetes, abnormal cholesterol, heart disease, etc.), through culturally tailored lifestyle changes. He also includes a chapter devoted to South Asian children given their deteriorating health status, a chapter on Women’s health (weight loss geared towards women, gestational diabetes, healthy pregnancy, PCOS), a chapter on healthy aging, and detailed nutrition information, recipes and illustrated exercises that have helped South Asians burn excess body fat and achieve optimal health. Each chapter ends with a special section for health professionals to help them manage this high risk group.
The book is available for pre-order on Amazon.
