Rujukta Diwekar is not a name that you can forget, especially in these times when nutrition and health are synonymous with life itself. With the National Nutrition Week kicking in on September 1, here’s a round-up of celebrity nutritionist Diwekar’s best nutrition tips through a playlist of four of her best audiobook titles. Listen to these audiobooks on Audible.in and rock with good health and fitness through easy to follow nutrient advisory.
Tip No 1: Honour time-tested food preparations, eat deep-fried, not air fryed.
Diwekar’s audiobook Eating in the Age of Dieting, blends the wisdom of our grandmothers with the latest advances in nutrition science. Over the past decade, her writings have decisively shifted food conversations across the country away from fads and towards eating local, seasonal and traditional. In this audiobook, she lists out five superfoods – banana, jackfruit, jamun, kusum and custard apple – to boost immunity and secure all necessary nutrients in the body.
Tip No 2: If the food is not tasty then how will it be healthy?
In Secrets of Good Health Diwekar chalks out five most easily available food items to include in daily routines and ‘fall in love with them’. These are ghee, rice, a handful of cashews or nuts, pickle or achar and Mango or Sitaphal, depending on the season. All these food items will set you on a path of sustainable health and weight loss.

Tip No 3: Women should never standardise their meal size
Diwekar who maintains that eating simply is key to a fabuluos body, talks about women’s food and everything in between in Women and the Weight Loss Tamasha. Here, she explains that women are hormonally vibrant and it’s normal to feel like eating more on some days and less on other days. The key is to stop at the right time.

Tip No 4: Food has the ability to heal
In The PCOD Thyroid Book narrated by Farah Bala, Diwekar talks about taking charge of ourselves, thanking our bodies and making peace with the fact that it’s not the hormones, it’s us. “Women often tend to indulge in chaotic eating, which is forced by hormones. Food has the ability to heal and it has more power than any pill made in the lab and it maintains good health and brings a hormonal balance,” she says. She highlights the need of including food supplements that can help in creating the right hormonal balance to relieve some stress.
