The South Asian Health Solution Description
The World Health Organization projects the majority of the world's heart attack patients will be Asian Indian within a few years. South Asians, who are predominantly Indians and Pakistanis, make up one-third of the world's population and have the highest prevalence of heart disease and diabetes. Dr. Ronesh Sinha, an internal medicine specialist in Silicon Valley, CA, recipient of the 2013 Silicon Valley Business Journal Health Care hero award, and TEDx speaker, specializes in helping patients of South Asian heritage moderate heart disease risk factors and obesity trends with a comprehensive lifestyle modification approach that has delivered exceptional results.Dr. Sinha's The South Asian Health Solution is the first book to provide an ancestral health-based wellness plan culturally tailored for South Asians. In particular, South Asians living outside of India in countries such as the United States, England, and Canada, show an even greater disease risk due to their immersion into western dietary and lifestyle habits.The book covers some of the following topics: South Asian-specific risk factors and how to accurately interpret cholesterol and body composition readings; Key lifestyle changes for weight loss and disease prevention; Three common cultural myths that lead to unhealthy habits; How to effectively manage sleep, stress and fatigue; And specific tips for women, children, and seniors.The South Asian Health Solution explains complex medical circumstances and terminology in an easy to understand voice, allowing the reader to grasp the how's and why's of dietary and lifestyle modification to prevent disease. The book dispenses practical dietary and medical advice, based on proven techniques used in the author's South Asian consult practice and company wellness programs, that recognizes and respects unique South Asian cultural challenges and barriers that can often hinder progress.

I'm half Thai & half Irish/English- 43 yr old Female. No South Asian in my blood, but close enough - to get that Asian perspective on healthy eating. Because similarly to South Asians, the Thai's eat lots of rice (too much perhaps) & the Irish/English westerners eat a lot of bread, wheat & potatoes. I have been cutting down on Rice for a year now and eat no wheat products at all! I lost weight when I did this, but hearing that excess rice/starchy veg, and not enough non-starchy green veg causes weight gain & bad health from an Asian doctor with experience treating Asians confirmed my doubts and beliefs and I now feel confident that limiting starchy carbs and getting plenty of exercise is the right choice!
