Both the volumes of the book on 'Nutrition in Traditional Therapeutic Foods - Volumes 1 and 2' emphasize the clinical role of selected foods. As foods with therapeutic importance are innumerable, 20 foods were included in the first volume and 13 other foods in the second volume.

As a reference/textbook it will be very resourceful to the academicians, medical professionals, nutrition scientists, dietitians, food technologists, biotechnologists, researchers from all relevant fields and, undergraduate and postgraduate students in addition to the fitness and health enthusiasts.
