Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi lovingly called Mahatma Gandhi is known for India's non-violent independence movement. But did you know that besides the incredible experiments with ahimsa and truth, he made quite a few experiments with food as well.
Gandhi ji was quite knowledgeable about nutrition and the curative properties of food. In his book, Key to Health, he shares his timeless ideas on maintaining good health without having to resort to doctors.
Gandhi ji wrote, “Whilst it is true that man cannot live without air and water, the thing that nourishes the body is food. Hence the saying, food is life”.
