Remain loyal to your genes and eat what you have been eating since childhood. If you are a Punjabi, eat your parantha without feeling guilty; if a Tamilian, eat your idli, dosa etc. For, right from the time you're in your mother's womb, your body is used to eating, digesting and assimilating certain foods - these we call gene food. Most of us now eat foods of all kinds, from across the world. But it's important to eat at least one meal that consists of our gene food.
Also, you must always try to eat local produce and seasonal food as much as possible. Remember, climate, altitude, humidity, wind, soil quality, etc influence our digestive system, hence ayurveda recommends we tweak our diet, habits and lifestyle according to the season.
