Eat Up, Clean Up by Manjari Chandra is a guide on healthy eating habits, backed by logic and experience. The book covers how we can bring about a change in ourselves by altering our food consumption. By the end, the book convinces us to look for the best food right in our kitchen than resorting to packaged or microwave foods!
The author used lucid language to weave a convincing narrative about healthy eating. She picked anecdotes and data from credible research reports to explain how unhealthy eating is drastically affecting us. She also pin-pointed misleading information provided by the pharma industry that aims to convince us that things can only get better with medicines. However, the truth is that most of our problems could be solved by altering our lifestyle.
All of us would agree that our sedentary lifestyle has done us a lot of harm. Personally, I've been observing its bad effects and now, I am slowly making my way to healthy food choices and living, in general.

I loved how the book talks candidly about everything wrong with our current way of eating. Be it depending on packaged foods or trying to indulge in quick solutions for gratification, we choose an easy way. In this, we do not pay heed to where we're going wrong!

This year, I have one resolution and that is eating healthy and staying healthy. Fighting against PCOS, I have done some serious changes in my diet. And from the past few months, I have been reading, watching several videos and articles on healthy eating habits. When this book came in my hand, I knew that it will be a useful read.
Summary:
This book starts with the testimonials of the people who have fought with various diseases just by changing the food.
Further, the book explains the nutrition and history of canned foods coming into our kitchen replacing home-cooked food. The author has also explained how popping pills every time is hazardous for health.
With the help of various characters and stories, the author has depicted various situations about losing weight and how some people can’t lose weight because they don’t follow the strict regime. The author has strongly focused on eating right while losing weight, which many people don’t take into account in their weight loss journey.
This book has various charts and tables, where you can set your weight loss goal and can see what is healthy and what is not.
The next section in the book talks about PCOS, one of the most affecting diseases to women. 1 out of 10 women is now suffering from this syndrome. The author has extensively talked about PCOS and how it happens and how it can be controlled.
Next, the chapter talks about hypertension and hyper-cholesterol, which leads to a heart attack. With the help of a story, the author has explained in a very easy way about its causes, symptoms, and remedies.

In the last two chapters, the author has talked about Indian spices and how every spice is a panacea to a particular disease. She has also talked about the importance of fasting and the Satvic diet.

As mentioned by the Celebrity Chef, Manish Mehrotra, this book is "not just about losing weight, it's about staying healthy. A must read for everyone!". I cannot disagree with his view since this book, though it may appear simple from the outside( I mean the cover page which is not over hyped or glossy), gives you the tips and tricks as to how you could lead a healthy life.
The book talks in great detail about:
Cancer
Thyroid
Loss of appetite
Hypertension & Cholesterol, BP
Depression and few other ailments which are an increasing trend in the recent decade. Manjari has taken a novel approach in explaining all these through stories where she has implanted few imaginary characters and what they go through, what made them go through it, how were they diagnosed and how they had overcome. All these were done in an effective way.
There were a few measures that were taken by some of her clients who had given a testimonial which includes:
Fasting Mimicking Diet
Elimination Diet
Oxygen Therapy
Cognitive Behavior Therapist etc., I am sure you would have come across some of them, if not all.
The concept of OOP - Out Of Pocket payments was literally new to me though it is very much prevalent in the Indian scenario where we end up paying from our pocket when it comes to medical expenses.
WHO’s definition of Nutrition “the intake of food, following the body’s dietary needs” gives you a detailed idea as to what this widely used term means.
Each and every chapter was explained in great detail. It has a “you need to know this” section which you shouldn't miss. In one of the chapters, the author asks this question - You could also have a reasonably well balanced meal from the fast food menu.
Now I am also deeply inquisitive to find out how this is possible.
Do you know what is the best way to fight anxiety?
The major emphasis was on Food, Lifestyle & Schedule < Pills. Is this not true? I was overwhelmed by the compilation of information and the way it was presented in this book. Now comes the next question.
Do you know the four principles of traditional food?
Most importantly, do not forget to fill the goal settings which find its way prominently at the end of each chapter. I loved the pages 54-57 in particular. Read the book to find out more :)
The book has a dedicated chapter on Cancer, Packaged Foods, Ayurvedic Food. I would say that this book is a must at all the household irrespective of what your age or belief is..

Manjari Chandra's 'Eat Up, Clean Up' is primarily about right eating and healthy living guiding the reader with comprehensive insights about nutrition in all that one consumes and must consume.
The author talks about eating food for nutrition and not weighing/dissecting meals into carbs, proteins, fats and eating only that our grandmother's would approve of!She writes explicitly about the balanced and beneficial traditional Indian home cooked meals with roti, sabzi and dal and the convenience fast food or packaged food and side effects post consumption. (paving way for lifestyle diseases). While the author lists the pros of eating fresh and traditional meals she also suggests various ideas to improvise and experiment with home cooked meals keeping in mind the necessity of a balanced diet with fresh and native-local ingredients for the hunger pangs and cravings to be satisfied.
Making balanced choices when one eats outside instead of selecting combo meals for excessive portions or discounts is a habit that one needs to modify and eat consciously whenever and wherever.
Lack of regular exercise and abstaining from fad diets or dieting with half knowledge can lead to unpleasant surprises.
The reader learns about the unsettling law-breaking racket being the pharma industry manufacturing drugs to generate higher revenues, misleading authorities, repurposing drugs, etc.
Misleading information about medication being the only solution to an ailment without modifying eating habits being the current perception is something Manjari Chandra's obliging book aims to change through different case studies covering different symptoms, syndromes and diseases.This book is a clear, comprehensive and insightful read inspiring the reader to take conscious and regular steps to lead a healthy life where a regimen plays the lead role to fitness and healing. Do invest your time reading and practising all that this worthy read offers!

Eat Up, Clean Up by Manjari Chandra is a book focusing on how our modern lifestyle and our technology driven food choices have made us vulnerable and undefended against so many diseases. In a bid to modernize our living and adapt to the fast and hasty life, we make some decisions which are not as benefitting as they seem to be and this book throws light on some of such issues and also provides us with easy to understand solutions.
The thing which appealed to me the most was the way the author has presented all the information and the data in such an understandable and easy to comprehend way. I've come across books which talk about inducing lifestyle changes and nutrition but end up leaving the reader with just loads of information to process, which was not at all the case with this book. The research and effort which has been put into compiling all the facts was really impressive and showcased the undoubted expertise of the author in this field.
It left me with many useful things to takeaway, like how medication is not always the solution, easy goal setting activities which make it really easy to bring about a change in one's eating habits, and much more. The book talks about various diseases from common hypertension to cancer, in an insightful way and presents solutions to the problems related to them. This is definitely a must read for someone looking for some guidance on how to keep oneself healthy by choosing the right plate of food!

6. Consume fruits and vegetables in excess.
7. Reduce sugar and salt as much as possible.
8. Always go back to your roots and traditional foods.
9. Do not get influenced by the western standards of fast foods.

Eat healthy to stay healthy principle is the base to attain optimum health. Health is the prerequisite for any venture. Health is wealth as all the wealth of any sort that one wants to possess can be had only if one is healthy! Suppose a man wishes to enjoy his life to the maximum. For this, he requires an abundant supply of resources such as money, luxuries, company of like-minded friends, etc. Suppose he has all of these except health. Do you think he will be able to enjoy life? No, not at all! Life's luxuries can only be enjoyed only when one is healthy.
It’s not always easy to find a nutrition book that’s easy to read and backed by credible research. But, Manjari does exactly that. This book talks about the core values of health care with lots of scientific facts, and anecdotes from the author's practise sessions to make this book immersing and more beneficial. There are seven chapters in this book concentrating on several significant aspects for a healthy and happy life. The best part of this nutrition book is that, It doesn't speak of superfood food or additional supplements, rather it will encourage you to cook your food in a conventional good old days style.
A must-read for everyone!

Ms Manjari Chandra is well known in the field of nutrition for her simple and basic approach to the concept called Diet.
With a wealth of details, Manjari tells us that minor changes in what you eat and how u eat, can help significantly prevent the risk of chronic diseases from PCOS to cancer. Such an insightful book about health and nutrition! I wish more such books are published.
This book is a encouragement to all of us to celebrate our traditional food knowledge rather than being guided by all the marketing blitz flashed on us

The book proves to be an interesting read as it provides information about the basic principles of using food as medicine. All the details provided in the book are well-researched and presented in simple and easy to understand language. The book offers a complete course on nutritious, time-tested, and easy to follow methods of healthy living without the need for readers to sweat and stretch too much. What I can say about author Manjari is that she beautifully penned down the book making it easy to understand for the readers. Having such book in collection is a definite blessing in this odd corona pandemic situation. I wish Manjari huge success with her book and life ahead.

Healthy living equals to healthy eating. But with so many guidebooks and videos out there we tend to get confused. For me this book was an elixir of sorts. It sorted me out. The mess that fast food leads to. How to eat right. What substitutes one can use. The food quantity. How to tackle my BP and PCOS. In a nutshell it is one of the best books.

Eat up, clean up is an excellent book that talks about healthy eating in a fun way, it explains how fast food entered our lives, the scam done by pharmacies and food companies and why we should incorporate healthy fats in our diets. It's really informative and has pushed me to start eating healthier and taking care of my body better.

Reading Eat Up , Clean Up by Dr.Manjari Chandra is a very informative experience specially in this COVID Era where staying fit with strong Immune System is so very essential.
The best which I liked about this book was the significance given to our traditional food which we somehow lost in due course of time.
I am sure this personal journey will transform to a healthier society .

I think that Eat up Clean up is a comprehensive guide to incorporate healthy food choices in our daily lives. It is incredible to see the way it has listed the food that should be eaten/avoided with justifications from the perspective of not just modern science but Ayurveda as well.
