SwitchON Foundation as a part of its agro nutri-sensitive drive today had organised an evening talk show followed by discussion on promoting millet called “Magic Millets – “Discover a Disease Free Life” with Dr. Khader Vali, India’s Millet Man.
Millets are traditionally known to be among the first grains consumed by humans. The event is an effort by SwitchON Foundation to communicate the nutritional properties of millets and popularize their use in Indian diets.
The 62 years Dr Khadar Vali, has dedicated his life to build a healthy society after resigning from a lucrative job in an MNC. Dr. Khadar has transformed himself into a healer through food-as-medicine, near Mysore in Karnataka. Through his research and practice he has shown that millets can cure almost every conceivable disease including cancer.
Speaking on the occasion during his speech, Dr. Khadar said –”Human race has to move from an economic model, which is a consuming culture, to an ecological model which is a conserving culture”. He further said “ When Food is Wrong, Medicine is of no use. When Food is Right, Medicine is of no need”
