AAPI’S NUTRITION GUIDE TO OPTIMAL HEALTH: USING PRINCIPLES OF FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE AND AND NUTRITIONAL GENOMICS Foreword Sunita Kanumury, MD Friends, It has been said, ‚In the sea of change, it is our responsibility to light the way for others!‛ As physicians, we model this statement in the care we provide and the advice on healthy living we give to our patients. I am confident each physician member of AAPI serves as a beacon amidst an ocean of darkness in healthy lifestyle options. Yet, in spite of our best efforts, obesity, many times leading to heart disease and diabetes, is on the rise. The American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) takes this pandemic seriously, and as such, has developed this guide on proper nutrition and healthy living. At AAPI, we believe ‚…it is our responsibility to light the way for others!‛ We have compiled this nutrition book to help everybody eat healthier and make better life choices, which in turn will extend the length and quality of our lives together. This E book is an indispensable guide for the billions worldwide who suffer from many conditions. I suggest making lifestyle changes for a lifetime by utilizing these principles. You are not what you eat, but you are what you absorb. Take charge of your own health. Have a closer look at the chapters like "Food Sensitivities, Basic Gut Health, Probiotics in Gastrointestinal Disease, Emerging Field of Hormone Replacement, and Diabesity (diabetes and obesity), just to name a few.

Everything ties in with the Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy Radial. The word ‚Detoxification‛ is in style; see what the author has to say! I am very thankful to internationally renowned Physicians, Registered Dietitians and Nutrition Scientists who have spent their invaluable time sharing their knowledge. Another approach is nutritional genomics, where Crohn’s disease and Celiac disease are addressed. There may be hope for people suffering from cancer: prevent it through integrative approaches. More and more people are suffering from autism: see an integrative nutrition approach for this condition. Many people are depressed to some extent with their super busy lifestyles in this high tech society. Spiritualism and yoga have been practiced in India since our ancestors and more so all over the world lately. There is a power to 4 2012
AAPI’S NUTRITION GUIDE TO OPTIMAL HEALTH: USING PRINCIPLES OF FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE AND AND NUTRITIONAL GENOMICS heal in mind-body medicine. Dr. James S. Gordon covers this point in ‚Getting Unstuck.‛ Also, look into nutrients like iodine and vitamin D, which are among the most ignored nutrients in weight management and several other conditions. I highly recommend you read what experts have to say! My hearty congratulations to Rita Batheja, MS, RD, CDN, Registered Dietitian, Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition practitioner, who came up with the idea of this timely E book. With her tireless efforts, she approached prominent experts in the various fields who contributed their articles and put together this E book.

Healthy Living to you and yours, Sunita Kanumury, MD President American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) New Jersey, USA sunitakanumury@yahoo.com 5 2012
