Rice vs. roti: which is better for weight loss?

Amidst the rich palette of <keyword id="19920824" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="north-india" source="keywords">North India</keyword>'s culinary legacy, where each dish tells a story of tradition and taste, food reigns as a revered art form. From the fiery allure of Chole Bhature to the velvety richness of Dal Makhani, every bite is a symphony of flavours that tantalises the senses and leaves an indelible mark on the palate. Yet, amidst this gastronomic paradise, a recent dietary study has uncovered a sobering truth that lurks beneath the delectable surface. Focused on sodium, potassium, phosphorus and <keyword id="2955085" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="protein-intake" source="Orion">protein intake</keyword>, the study delved into the dietary habits of North Indian populations, shedding light on the risks of prevalent <keyword id="473390" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="non-communicable-diseases" source="Orion">non-communicable diseases</keyword> such as hypertension, cardiovascular issues and chronic kidney disease. Over 400 adult participants, including both healthy individuals and those with early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), were meticulously analysed using 24-hour urinary excretion analysis. This method provided precise insights, avoiding the inaccuracies often associated with dietary recall. The analysis uncovered unsettling trends: protein consumption falling below the recommended dietary allowance, <keyword id="16922798" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="excessive-salt" source="Orion">excessive salt</keyword> consumption far beyond recommended levels and <keyword id="21123602" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="inadequate-potassium" source="Orion">inadequate potassium</keyword> intake. The latter two are particularly linked with the risk of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. These findings underscore the necessity for optimal nutrient intake to maintain cardiovascular and kidney health. They also stress the urgency for personalised dietary interventions to mitigate the risks of prevalent non-communicable diseases. Emphasising the need for targeted interventions to address the alarming dietary patterns, Prof. Vivekanand Jha, lead researcher and Executive Director at The George Institute for Global Health, India, said: “A poor nutritious diet is a major risk element for non-communicable diseases (NCD), which are of considerable public health concern. “In India, people eat different foods, so it is important to know exactly what nutrients they are getting to help prevent and manage these diseases. The high salt intake and low potassium intake point to the need to develop interventions targeted to individuals and societies.” In combating the prevalence of non-communicable diseases, researchers have advocated for multifaceted strategies. These include enhanced food labelling to empower healthier choices, reducing salt content in processed foods, and promoting the consumption of potassium-rich fruits and vegetables. In embracing an informed and holistic approach to dining, where taste and nutrition harmonise, the populations can not only savour the essence of North Indian cuisine, but also nurture their well-being with every delectable bite.

"Obesity is emerging as a serious concern among India's adult population," said the Survey, which was tabled on Monday by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Parliament. If India needs to "reap the gains of its demographic dividend, it is critical that its population's health parameters transition towards a balanced and diverse diet", it said. Citing a report from the Indian Council for Medical Research, the Economic Survey observed that the rise in consumption of highly processed foods laden with sugars and fat, coupled with reduced physical activity and limited access to diverse foods, exacerbate micronutrient deficiencies and overweight/obesity problems. Estimates show that the adult obesity rate in India has more than tripled, and the rise in children is the steepest in the world for India, behind Vietnam and Namibia, the survey stated, referring to a World Obesity Federation report. The survey further said as per National Family Health Survey (NFHS), the incidence of obesity is significantly higher in urban India than in rural India. In urban India, it is 29.8 per cent in men versus 19.3 per cent of rural India. The percentage of men facing obesity in the 18-69 age bracket has increased to 22.9 per cent in NFHS-5 from 18.9 per cent in NFHS-4. For women, it has increased from 20.6 per cent (NFHS-4) to 24 per cent (NFHS-5). "Combined with an ageing population in some states, obesity presents a concerning situation. Preventive measures must be taken to enable citizens to have a healthier lifestyle," the survey said. In some states, such as in the NCT (Delhi), the proportion of women with obesity is 41.3 per cent, as against 38 per cent for men. In Tamil Nadu, for men, obesity is 37 per cent and it is 40.4 per cent for women. In Andhra, it is 36.3 per cent for women while for men it is 31.1 per cent.

Rising obesity a concern, preventive measures must be taken for healthier lifestyle: Eco Survey

<keyword id="19901584" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Saif-Ali-Khan" source="keywords">Saif Ali Khan</keyword>, Jr. NTR and <keyword id="19911182" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Janhvi-Kapoor" source="keywords">Janhvi Kapoor</keyword> recently appeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show to promote their upcoming film Devara. Bits of the episode have been making rounds online and a certain clip caught our attention. In one of the clips from the show, Saif is seen explaining to the audience that he has stopped consuming parathas ever since his blood tests revealed that he was allergic to milk and bread. <div type="Youtube" id="YgOa2Zpig1Q" title="Triple the Laughter: Jr. NTR, Saif, Janhvi | The Great Indian Kapil Show | Bacha Hua Content" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YgOa2Zpig1Q/mqdefault.jpg"><url><![CDATA[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgOa2Zpig1Q]]></url></div>His co-star Janhvi responded saying, “Yeh sab faaltu ke allergy test hote hain. Hum sab itne sadiyon se doodh, maida-vaida sab khaate aa rahe hain” (all these allergy tests are nonsense. We have been drinking milk and consuming flour for ages). While this may have been the young actor’s mostly harmless attempt at sounding relatable, gluten and <keyword id="20158013" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="lactose-intolerance" source="keywords">lactose intolerance</keyword> is a real health concern for millions of Indians. And taking these tests is among the most recommended ways to understand and alter our diets. <h2>Gluten allergy is not new in India, gluten is!</h2>A gluten allergy, often referred to as <keyword id="22227619" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gluten-intolerance" source="keywords">gluten intolerance</keyword> or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), is a condition where the immune system reacts negatively to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Unlike celiac disease, gluten sensitivity does not cause damage to the small intestine, but it can trigger uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, fatigue and headaches after consuming gluten-containing foods — such as bread. When asked if more and more Indians were reporting gluten allergies, nutritionist Dr Meghana Pasi explained that it wasn’t entirely true. “An increase in the Indians’ wheat consumption was a result of colonisation”, she said. Most Indians primarily consumed millet before the British’s influence and wheat became a staple in our diets roughly between 50-100 years ago. And it has taken a few decades to associate the discomfort many feel after consuming wheat with a gluten allergy. So, claiming that gluten consumption is perfectly okay since people in the past did it too, is infact entirely inaccurate. <h2>A significant proportion of Indians are lactose intolerant</h2>After Janhvi implies that these allergies are a hoax, Saif attempts to correct her saying, “Hum jab bade ho jate hai to sab cheezein nahi khani chahiye, bacho ko khani chhaiye ( We should refrain from eating certain things when we get older; kids should eat all of this).” In response Janhvi says, "Main toh doodh peeti hun (I still drink milk).” Anecdotal fallacy again. Sigh. Lactose intolerance is a digestive condition where the body is unable to fully digest lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. This happens when the small intestine doesn't produce enough of the enzyme lactase, which is needed to break down lactose into simpler sugars for absorption. As a result, lactose passes undigested into the colon, where bacteria ferment it, causing symptoms like bloating, diarrhoea, gas and stomach cramps. The severity of symptoms varies, depending on how much lactose a person can tolerate. This author, for instance, needs just one pizza slice to develop a terrible gastric headache that leads to violent episodes of puking. Regarding her claim that we have been consuming milk for ages, India has seen a notable rise in lactose intolerance as dietary patterns evolve. Studies suggest that one-third of Indians may have some degree of lactose intolerance due to genetic factors. Historically, the diet in many parts of India included fermented or low-lactose dairy products like yogurt and paneer, which are easier to digest. However, the growing consumption of milk-based products and <keyword id="20490015" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="processed-foods" source="keywords">processed foods</keyword> may be contributing to more visible cases of lactose intolerance. Furthermore, even without the intolerance debate, science has shown that humans’ capacity to absorb milk decreases as we grow old. By the time we’re in our mid-thirties, these problems can manifest as gastrointestinal problems like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastro-esophagal reflux disease (GERD). So, while Janhvi Kapoor's casual dismissal of gluten and lactose allergies may have been made in jest, it brought forth a good opportunity to discuss a larger issue of misinformation about <keyword id="23476473" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="dietary-sensitivities" source="keywords">dietary sensitivities</keyword>. As allergies and intolerances become more widely understood and recognised, particularly in the Indian context, it’s important to acknowledge that the foods we’ve consumed for generations may no longer suit everyone. Of late, many celebrities like Janhvi, who boast millions of followers, have been caught spreading health-related misinformation intentionally or unintentionally. Despite their access to the best nutritionists and doctors, such misguided statements show blatant disregard for public health. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111515126" title="Samantha Ruth Prabhu faces heavy backlash after recommending hydrogen peroxide inhalation to cure viral fever" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>Instead, as a society, we should aim to foster a more nuanced understanding of how individual bodies react to different foods over time and the role modern science plays in identifying these sensitivities. In an era of growing health awareness, informed conversations around food intolerances can lead to better lifestyle choices for many.

Janhvi Kapoor thinks allergy tests for gluten and milk are ‘faaltu’. Here's why she might be misinformed.

According to the medical board, some examples of <keyword id="21712332" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="ultra-processed-food" source="keywords">ultra-processed food</keyword> include commercially produced <keyword id="93269" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bread" source="Orion">bread</keyword>, breakfast cereals and even other staples such as refined flour and <keyword id="6446947" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="butter" source="Orion">butter</keyword>. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What counts as &quot;ultra-processed&quot;?" comment="subhead" text="What counts as &quot;ultra-processed&quot;?">What counts as "ultra-processed"?</cmsannotation> Before you throw your snack out the window, let’s understand what “ultra-processed” means. Considering that we don't live in a utopia where we can just head out and bite the stalks off a wheat plant for sustenance, most of the food we consume has to undergo some processing to make them suitable for consumption. Thus, grains are grinded into flour, fruits may have to be refrigerated and milk pasteurised — all forms of processing that make these healthy food items ready to eat. However, in the pursuit to improve taste, appearance or shelf-life, many companies subject their food products to extensive industrial processing by integrating a concerning amounts of additives such as preservatives, sweeteners, colourings, flavourings, emulsifiers, and other substances that would not typically find in an everyday kitchen. These are massive no-nos, as far as the ICMR is concerned. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Heart attack, stroke, obesity" comment="subhead" text="Heart attack, stroke, obesity">Heart attack, stroke, obesity</cmsannotation> These ultra-processed foods (UPFs) also tend to be excessively high in fats and unusually low in fibres and essential <keyword id="19896135" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nutrients" source="keywords">nutrients</keyword>. Studies have shown that a diet that is rich in such items can lead to obesity, hasten ageing, and are associated with a higher risk of heart attack, strokes, diabetes and poorer overall health. Perhaps the worst problem with them is that such foods are typically very cheap and easily accessible, leading them to be a popular choice for the masses. Further, enriching UPFs with nutrients still does nothing to make them wholesome or healthy. The ICMR advises against overconsumption of “level C” foods, which means that these edibles are high in sugars and salts and/or have been subjected to extensive techniques that break down nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and fibre in them. Such processes include over-refining of flours, juicing of fruits, subjecting the food items to high temperatures and pressures, and canning and preservation. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="List of foods classified as ultra-processed" comment="subhead" text="List of foods classified as ultra-processed">List of foods classified as ultra-processed</cmsannotation> According to the ICMR, Group C food items include commercially produced bread, breakfast cereals, cakes, chips, biscuits, fries, jams, sauces, mayonnaise, commercially produced ice cream, protein packs powders, peanut butter, soy chunks, tofu, frozen foods with additives, commercially produced cheese, butter, paneer with additives, meats, plant-based meats, refined flours of cereals, millets and legumes, energy drinks, health drinks added to milk, beverages and fruit juices. The group also includes many culinary ingredients such as cooking oils, refined sugars, salt and spices, since cosmetic food additives such as artificial colours and emulsifiers are often used in their processing. As social media drives a growing interest in healthier eating habits, it becomes crucial for consumers to discern and avoid these heavily processed items, favouring more natural and minimally processed alternatives to promote better overall health. However, moderation is perhaps the word of the year, and it would do well to learn about the stuff that goes inside our bodies, rather than live in fear of them.

Kidneys, two small but mighty organs, play a crucial role in maintaining our overall health. They act as the body's natural filters, removing waste products, excess fluids, and electrolytes from the blood. Proper kidney function is essential for good health, and diet is a key factor in supporting these vital organs. In this article, we will explore the importance of kidney health, the Indian foods that can enhance it, and how to incorporate these foods into your diet for optimal renal well-being. Understanding Kidney Health: Healthy kidneys are essential for various bodily functions, including regulating blood pressure, balancing electrolytes, and producing hormones that control red blood cell production.

Kidney health can be impacted by conditions like kidney disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes, as well as lifestyle factors such as diet and hydration. Foods that Promote Kidney Health Turmeric: Turmeric contains curcumin, an active compound with potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may help reduce kidney inflammation. Cucumber: Low in sodium and high in water content, cucumbers aid in maintaining optimal blood pressure and flushing out toxins. Bottle Gourd (Lauki): Known for its hydrating properties, bottle gourd can help with toxin elimination and support overall kidney function. Red Bell Peppers: These are rich in vitamins A, C, and B6, as well as fiber, and are low in potassium, making them an ideal choice for kidney health. Spinach: A kidney-friendly leafy green, spinach is high in vitamins and low in potassium and sodium, making it a nutritious addition to your diet. Cauliflower: A low-potassium vegetable, cauliflower is a versatile and nutrient-rich choice for kidney health. Coriander (Cilantro): The diuretic properties of coriander can aid in flushing out toxins, supporting kidney health. Cranberries: Cranberries are high in antioxidants and known for their potential to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs), which can help protect the kidneys. Moong Dal (Green Gram): A source of plant-based protein and low in potassium, moong dal provides essential nutrients without overloading on this mineral. Whole Grains: Whole grains like brown rice and whole wheat are rich in fiber and low in sodium, making them ideal for regulating blood sugar and blood pressure, essential for kidney health. Incorporating Kidney-Friendly Foods: Include kidney-friendly foods in your daily diet, such as adding cucumbers to salads, using coriander in your cooking, and incorporating moong dal in your meals. Opt for a balanced diet that combines various renal-friendly ingredients to ensure you're getting a variety of nutrients. Limit high-potassium foods, such as bananas and potatoes, to prevent overloading your kidneys with this mineral. Stay well-hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day. Proper hydration is crucial for kidney function. Consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian, especially if you have existing kidney issues, to create a tailored dietary plan that best supports your renal health. When to Consume Kidney-Friendly Foods: Include kidney-<keyword id="434255" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="healthy-foods" source="Orion">healthy foods</keyword> in your daily meals to ensure a consistent intake of nutrients.
