i. National Natural Food Festival (NNFF)andYoga- Naturopathy Seminar-

2017JanataMaidan, Bhubaneswar, Odisha from 10t to 12th February, 2017. Food is very essential for all living beings as it provides calorie, energy, nutrients and many more. But now a days various types of fast foods and junk foods are frequently available and they are easy to carry and eat. But at the same time they are poor in nutritional value and essential micro-nutrients and cause various diseases and lifestyle related disorders. Thus, to propagate the concept of natural food habits and lifestyle related problems and also to educate and aware about the right food habits, The National Institute of Naturopathy, Pune under Ministry of AYUSH, Govt. of India organized a National level Food Festival and Yoga –Naturopathy Seminar at Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

Naturopathy: Naturopathy is built on a strong philosophy and practice. The following are the guiding principles on which the entire edifice of naturopathy practice is structured. Unity of Disease and Unity of Cure:Toxemia and vitality theories influence the framework of Naturopathy practice, wherein, the cause of all diseases is one i.e. toxemia and all their treatments are aimed at one. i.e. increasing vitality by eliminating toxins. Except for traumatic and environmental conditions, the cause of all diseases is one i.e. accumulation of morbid matter in the body and their elimination from the body is the treatment. Germs don't cause disease but found in diseased condition. The primary cause of disease is not bacteria. Bacteria and virus invade and thrive in the body only on the accumulated of morbid matter. It is the soil (human body), which, is primary not the microbe. When possible, do not suppress symptoms, which are the body’s efforts to self-heal. For example, the body may cook up a fever in reaction to a bacterial infection. Fever creates an inhospitable environment for the harmful bacteria, thereby destroying it. Of course, the naturopathic physician would not allow the fever to get dangerously high.

Ten tenets of Naturopathy practice: 1. The body heals itself. 2. The main cause of disease is lowered vitality. 3. The accumulation of the morbid matters causes the disease. 4. The acute disease in itself is the remedial process. 5. Germs don't cause disease but found in diseased condition. 6. Food is the building material but does not increase the vitality. 7. Fasting doesn't cure the disease but create the environment to heal 8. Yoga, Exercise or physical activities keep the balance between nutrition and drainage. 9. External treatments, no matter what pathies they belong to, give only relief. They do not cure the disease. 10. The patient own wish to get well, determination and faith in nature’s healing power play important role in the healing process.

Philosophy of Naturopathy: 1. First, do not harm: Naturopathic physicians respect the human body. They use low-risk procedures and treatment methods to minimize harmful side-effects. Suppression of symptoms is also avoided to prevent interference with the diagnostic healing processes. 2. Identify and treat causes : Harness the healing powers of nature by living close to Nature: Nature is the greatest healer. The body has the inherent ability to heal itself. The naturopathic doctor simply supports and facilitates the healing process. Identify and remove the cause. When you remove the cause, you remove the obstacle to cure. If the cause is not removed, the disease process will continue to further damage the body. The acute disease in itself is the remedial process. Thus, acute diseases are friends, not the enemies. Chronic diseases are the outcome of wrong treatment and suppression of the acute diseases. 3. Let nature heal: Our bodies have such a powerful, innate instinct for self-healing. By finding and removing the barriers to this self-healing such as poor diet or unhealthy habits naturopathic physicians can nurture this process. 4. Treat the whole person: The naturopath caters the treatment plan to each individual’s unique disease process. In Naturopathy, patient is treated and not the disease. Customize each diagnosis and treatment plan to fit each patient. We all heal in different ways and the naturopathic physician respects our differences. 5. Educate the patients: Naturopathic medicine believes that doctors must be educators, as well as physicians. That’s why naturopathic physicians teach their patients how to eat, exercise, relax and nurture themselves physically and emotionally. They also encourage self-responsibility and work closely with each patient. Because they are knowledgeable in both western and natural medicine, they serve as an excellent resource to help you develop a personal wellness programme. 6. Prevent illness: Promotion of health and prevention of disease: Promotion of health and prevention of disease is the best medicine. Naturopathic physicians take great care to educate patients on the necessary lifestyle changes needed to maintain health and prevent disease.

The food that the society chooses has many implications. Presently, a particular food being is chosen because of: 1) Geographical reasons 2) Climatic reasons 3) Socio - Cultural reasons, and 4) Governments’ interventions at various levels, etc. The pre-industrial Indian society viewed food as giving nourishment physically, intellectually, culturally and spiritually. While the post-industrial era and ethos speaks a language of food in terms of calories, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, trans-fats, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, soluble and insoluble fibre, the Indian society and its people find, to their utter dismay, that these terms are not fitting well into their cultural and social settings. There is a deep sense of anguish and conflict as the dietary habits and the food itself is undergoing rapid changes in time and space. A once highly evolved food culture has now reached a dead end and is facing extreme turbulence as it negotiates a path riddled with conflicting needs, fads and market forces. The primary reason for this situation is: Indians, farmers included, have come to consider food as a commodity. Since commodities have to have some standards and worth, some food crops are already on their way out, if not disappearing all together. The changed dietary habits of a vast population impacted the health of the people at large, apart from hygiene and sanitation. Vector-borne diseases have been on the rise due to water intensive agricultural practices, water-borne diseases due to chemical pollution; Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) entered our food chain, as they are water soluble and have an affinity for the fat tissue of living beings, these get accumulated in the fat tissue and disrupt the endocrinal activity. Added to all this, high carbohydrate diet, devoid of nutrition, is the cause of nutritional related health problems. The complex food-society-health matrix has atelling effect on the nation’s health and is threatening to acquire epidemic proportions. The present-day modern society is embroiled in a dilemma as to what to eat, how much to eat and when to eat. We may be able to manufacture nutritious food strictly adhering to the modern prescribed standards at great cost to the environment, but we will not be able to satisfy the diverse tastes and other cultural needs of the population. The guiding principles that should be kept in mind while choosing appropriate food for a given society are: to eat locally grown foods that the soils would support on a sustainable basis, chemical-free, energy-efficient foods and foods that are grown out of environmentally sustainable agricultural practices. The ultimate mantra at individual level is moderation, not ‘ration’. Eat only when hungry.
