In today’s rapidly changing world, where dietary habits are becoming increasingly disordered and lifestyle diseases are on the rise, the need to understand the science of nutrition through a holistic lens is more urgent than ever. Yogic Nutrition and Human Metabolism: A Holistic Approach to Diet and Health has been developed as a comprehensive academic resource that integrates modern nutritional science with timeless yogic principles. It is carefully designed to meet the academic and practical needs of students enrolled in the Fifth Semester “Diet and Nutrition” paper under the B.Sc. Yoga Science program at Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT), West Bengal. This book explores the fundamental concepts of nutrition—ranging from the classification of nutrients and their physiological roles to energy metabolism, dietary planning, and nutritional requirements in different life stages. What sets this book apart is its unique combination of scientific explanation with yogic and Ayurvedic dietary thought. It emphasizes not only what the body needs in terms of calories, vitamins, and minerals but also how food influences our mental clarity, emotional stability, spiritual growth, and pranic energy.
