LONDON, UK, February 21, 2008: Health-conscious Britons can now dig into rich and spicy curries without guilt as a cookbook of Indian cuisine featuring low calorie recipes is being distributed free to doctor’s clinics.
Written by Sudhesh Kumar, a professor of Medicine at the Warwick University, the curries are low on salt and oil and retain their flavor with herbs rather than ghee. Kumar, who is based in Coventry where half the population is overweight, graduated from the University of Madras in 1986 an is an expert on obesity-driven diabetes.
“We all have to remember that obesity is the single most important factor in predicting who will develop diabetes. Sadly those who origins are in India, Pakistan or Bangladesh are four to five times more likely to develop type II diabetes,” said Kumar.
Warwick University paid for the production of 5,000 copies of “Spice For Life.”
