In my recent interactions with teens<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In my recent interactions with teens, I am struck by their beliefs for traditional food v\/s trending food, packaged food. They often reflect what they have learned from their environment.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Some key points:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

— Pickles (Indian traditional pickles) aren’t good for our health, so don’t even try – then what about the pickles we relish in our subway or pickles we relish as an appetizer at a Japanese restaurant?<\/p>\r\n

Fact<\/strong>: Every cuisine which is backed by culture, tradition and roots will have their own pickles for our health and well-being<\/p>\r\n

— Stop eating wheat roti and shift to millet rotis.<\/p>\r\n

Fact<\/strong>: wheat is a very important grain with multiple health benefits.<\/p>\r\n

— Papad (urad, rice or any) needs to be avoided at any cost \u2013 while packaged chips sometimes are okay?<\/p>\r\n

Fact<\/strong>: papad is a good source of protein (depending which), fibre and aids digestion<\/p>\r\n

Normally, these traditional ingredients which we skip because of any fear or trending influence actually are the ingredients providing us with a universe of nutrients and bridge the gap between what is missing in our total nutrition requirements. They complete the nutrient profile and make our cells well nourished.<\/p>\r\n

The additional benefits are:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

1. It keeps cravings away<\/p>\r\n

2. We are attracted more towards real and natural food<\/p>\r\n

3. It also works as a natural supplement for our body.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
