Q. i am allergic to a milk products.what are my other options with out giving up the taste and the nutrition?

A. first of all- giving up dairy products is not such a bad idea. milk is not something that our body needs naturally after infancy.the next question is - are you allergic? or just cannot digest lactose? two different things. if it's lactose problems (a shortage of the enzyme Lactase) you can use Lactase supplementation before eating dairy.

Q. Why should they be restricted, as many people of the world eat them and they taste really good? My grand mom is suffering from arthritis and she had almost passed a long way of her life with it. Last week when I met her she told me to avoid high fat diet, sugar rich diet, fast foods, low fat milk and any food containing nitrites. She even told to lessen in potatoes, tomatoes, egg plant and red and green bell peppers. But she strictly advised me not to have excess sugar and nitrate rich foods. She was not able to answer some of my questions such as how do these foods harm? Why should they be restricted, as many people of the world eat them and they taste really good?

A. i think that it's an ayurveda principals...two of my friends went to an ayurvedic therapist that recommended them the same thing. it's not something the western medicine recommends, high nitrite food actually known to be beneficial to the outcome of heart attacks.
