Suppliers of spices and flour to <keyword id="6356830" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nestle-India">Nestle India</keyword> are in the mid of nowhere ever since the instant <keyword id="6369404" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Maggi">Maggi</keyword> noodles got banned from the Indian market. Following cancelled orders, unpaid bills and uncertainty over the future of business with <keyword id="75190" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nestle">Nestle</keyword> India, suppliers are facing a loss of Rs 15 crore every week. 
 As per a report published in Economic Times, <keyword id="2900210" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Paras-Spices">Paras Spices</keyword>, a Punjab-based firm which has been working with Nestle since last three decades and supplies close to 200 tonnes of spices to Nestle every month, has retrenched around 300 temporary workers in its production unit. The firm that earns around 40% of its revenue from Nestle has shut the production lines catering to Nestle. "The ban has affected us both in terms of volumes and value," said Mahesh Pathak, Business Head, Paras Spices. 
 
If reports are to be believed, about 70-80 flour mills across nation, which supplies nearly 1,800 tonnes of flour every day to Nestle's five plants, have also been hit hard. 
 
“Nestle has not just cancelled its orders, but it has also asked the suppliers to take back their previous supplies because it doesn’t uses food items older than six days,” said VK Bansal, senior Vice-President at Roller Flour Millers' Federation of India. "The company officials are not available since the crisis began," Bansal informed. 
 
Analysts expect Nestle to recover from the crisis in the long term and put Maggi noodles back on retail shelves. But they doubt if the Rs 2,000-crore brand will remain as popular as it has been because the product ban may impact consumer perception about its safety and health benefits.

Maggi Ban: Wheat, spices suppliers facing Rs 15 crore loss every week

<keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India" source="keywords">India</keyword>'s <keyword id="19999652" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="retail-inflation" source="keywords">retail inflation</keyword> rate softens marginally in <keyword id="20566127" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="May" source="keywords">May</keyword>, continuing its moderation trend, though <keyword id="19960157" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="food-prices" source="keywords">food prices</keyword> continue to remain a pain point for the policymakers. Government data showed on Wednesday that retail inflation for meat and fish, egg, milk and products, vegetables, pulses and products, and sugar rose month-on-month. It, however, declined for spices and fruits to an extent. Annual retail inflation in May was at a 12-month low of 4.75 per cent, marginally down from 4.83 per cent in April. The retail inflation or Consumer Price Index, in December last year was 5.7 per cent, and since has been moderating. The retail inflation in India is in <keyword id="19899808" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="RBI" source="keywords">RBI</keyword>'s 2-6 per cent comfort level but is above the ideal 4 per cent scenario. Inflation has been a concern for many countries, including advanced economies, but India has largely managed to steer its inflation trajectory quite well. The latest eased month-on-month retail inflation comes on the heels of RBI having maintained the status quo in the repo rate for the eighth straight occasion. Following are some of the excerpts of views from analysts and experts on the May retail inflation numbers: RajSinha, Chief Economist, CareEdge: Looking ahead, a favourable base effect is expected to persist until July 2024, helping absorb potential upward risks to price pressures to a certain extent. For FY25, we expect inflation to average 4.8 per cent. If food inflation moderates, we expect the RBI to cut the policy interest rate by a shallow 50 bps in two tranches in the second half of the fiscal year. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services: The decline in CPI inflation declining to 4.75 per cent in May indicates that the process of disinflation in India is happening in a phased manner. The decline in core inflation to 3.1 per cent is good news for the MPC. This paves the way for rate cut by the RBI earlier than expected if the Fed also turns dovish. From the stock market perspective this is good news which can further strengthen the bullish trend being witnessed in the market now. Sanjeev Agrawal, President, PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry: The government's proactive measures to strengthen supply chains are contributing to the lowering of inflation in many items. Going forward, an increase in kharif production, backed by projection of above-normal southwest monsoon, is expected to contribute to further easing of the CPI inflation. Dipti Deshpande, Principal Economist, CRISIL: From June, we expect some softening as a supportive base will help bring down food inflation. Further easing will depend on the distribution of rainfall. For this fiscal, we expect inflation to average 4.5 per cent -- assuming softer food and benign non-food inflation. Sunil Kumar Sinha (Senior Director and Principal Economist) and Paras Jasrai, Senior Analyst, India Ratings and Research: Despite some moderation in headline inflation, the fight on inflation front is far from over as food inflation continues to high and if nor checked it can give rise to a wage-price spiral. 42.6 per cent of the total commodities in the CPI basket still have an inflation above 4 per cent. India Ratings and Research believe that the central bank would continue to maintain a status quo on policy rates and stance till 2HFY25.

With the lockdown affecting day to day activities, and curbs on social activities, people are finding newer ways to cope with the stress. While it has given rise to a whole section of people turning health and fitness conscious, the others continue to binge eat and binge watch shows. While we get through the pandemic, we must focus on nutrition as the need for a healthy body is now more than ever. According to Minal Shah, Senior Nutrition Therapist at Fortis Hospital Mulund intake of protein, micronutrient (Vitamin D), Vitamin C, anti-inflammatory, and water are amongst the most important things people should keep in mind to keep their nutrition level at par. Shah also suggests preferring fresh juices and meals over processed ones, especially for Vitamin C. Moreover, consuming at least 100 ml of water every hour will help people flush the toxins out of their body. The World Health Organisation advises people to eat a range of fruits and unprocessed foods every day to get sufficient vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre, protein and antioxidants required in our body. WHO further suggests people keep themselves hydrated. Apart from this people <a href="http://www.emro.who.int/nutrition/nutrition-infocus/nutrition-advice-for-adults-during-the-covid-19-outbreak.html#:~:text=So%20you%20should%20eat%20a,and%20certain%20types%20of%20cancer.">should also avoid sugar, fat and salt</a> “to significantly lower risk of overweight, obesity, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain types of cancer.” Business Insider India reached out to dietitians, and nutrition experts to get some nutrition advice — Exploring a plant-based diet According to dietitians, people should put in extra emphasis on the food they eat. “In the times of coronavirus pandemic, moving to a plant-based diet is an intelligent move because it is a powerful way to live longer, help the environment, and reduce our risk of getting sick. Therefore, a diet plays a crucial role in maintaining your overall wellbeing and nutrition especially when we are fighting with COVID-19 pandemic,” said Neha Pathania, Chief- Dietitian, Paras Hospital Gurugram. A plant-based diet involves minimally processed vegetables, fruits, whole grains, seeds, herbs, spices and does not contain any animal product including red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Pathania says a plant-based diet also helps in lowering down the body mass index (BMI), cholesterol levels and a reduced incidence of chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and even protection from some cancers including prostate and breast cancer Avoid ready-to-eat and focus on fresh home-cooked food Another nutrition tip from dietitians is to eat fresh, home-made food, as much as possible. “We should focus more on fresh, home-cooked food and avoid ready-to-eat food as much as we can because they have additives and preservatives to prolong shelf life. Read the labels carefully before purchasing any such product and do not consume beyond expiry or 'best before' date. Eating fresh-cooked with less spice, oil or fat also helps in avoiding intake of harmful components such as saturated fats and extra salt or sugar. says, Shalini Garwin Bliss, HOD- Dietitian, Columbia Asia Hospital WHO too recommends eating at home so as to reduce the rate of contact with other people during COVID-19 times. No saturated fats, trans fats People should reduce their intake for saturated fats, trans fats, salt and sugar. “Regular intake of saturated and trans fats, salt and sugar not only increases the risk of non-communicable diseases but also slows down the process of conceiving. Binging on junk food increases your body's weight. Problems with your weight can lead to fertility problems. Therefore, it’s essential that we take food which is full of nutrients and can boost our sexual health. A balanced and nutritious diet one should consider to get rid of the infertility issues,” said Dr Aswati Nair, Fertility Consultant, Nova IVF, New Delhi. Keep yourself hydrated Experts suggest at least 8-10 cups of water every day. “Water is essential for life. It transports nutrients and compounds in blood, regulates your body temperature, gets rid of waste, and lubricates and cushions joints.Water is the best choice, but you can also consume other drinks, fruits and vegetables that contain water, for example, lemon juice (diluted in water and unsweetened), tea and coffee. But be careful not to consume too much caffeine, and avoid sweetened fruit juices, syrups, fruit juice concentrates, fizzy and still drinks as they all contain sugar, <a href="http://www.emro.who.int/nutrition/nutrition-infocus/nutrition-advice-for-adults-during-the-covid-19-outbreak.html#:~:text=So%20you%20should%20eat%20a,and%20certain%20types%20of%20cancer.">WHO wrote. </a> SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/retail/news/ambani-vs-damani-indias-635-billion-retail-ring-will-see-the-countrys-two-richest-men-battle-with-different-strategies/articleshow/77846555.cms">Ambani vs Damani ⁠— India’s $635 billion retail ring will see the country’s two richest men⁠ battle with different strategies</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/latest-hr-job-vacancies-at-moodys-morgan-stanley-ibm-johnson-amp-johnson-and-other-companies-in-india/slidelist/77868800.cms">Latest HR job vacancies at Moody’s, Morgan Stanley, IBM, Johnson &amp; Johnson and other companies in India</a>

National Nutrition Week: Here are some nutrition tips to keep you healthy, according to experts

<ul><li>Though no food will cure <keyword id="8763838" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="covid-19">Covid-19</keyword> infections, a healthy diet along with good physical activity will help build a stronger immune system to tackle the adverse impact of the deadly coronavirus. </li><li>As the World Food Day is being celebrated amidst the pandemic, experts say it is important to adopt healthy food habits. </li></ul>The deadly coronavirus pandemic has made people realise the importance of a healthy diet. Good nutrition and exercise is crucial for health, particularly in times when the immune system might need to fight back. Limited access to fresh foods may compromise opportunities to continue eating a healthy and varied diet. It can also potentially lead to increased consumption of highly processed foods, which tend to be high in unhealthy trans fats, cholesterol, sugars, and salt. Nonetheless, even with few and limited ingredients, one can continue eating a diet that supports good health. Though no food will cure Covid-19 infections, a healthy diet along with good physical activity will help build a stronger immune system to tackle the adverse impact of the deadly coronavirus As the World Food Day is being celebrated amidst the pandemic, experts say it is important to adapt healthy food habits. "Food makes a world of difference to our system which is linked to the solar clock. Eating at regular hours means the energy levels remain steady and do not sway from highs to lows. This will help body rhythm settle down and it will balance out the hormones to keep the body energized. Any food that is closest to its natural form, least processed and seasonal is the best for health," said Srilatha, Chief Clinical Nutritionist, Medicover Hospitals. Here are the top tips to stay healthy, even as you work from home, from several nutritionists that Business Insider consulted: Consume good fiber Good fibres can help people lower blood sugar levels, fight constipation and reduce weight. “Ensure consumption of good fiber for good gut health, controlling the portion of intake, weight management and management of non-communicable diseases like Diabetes, Dyslipidemia, Cardiac Disorders, etc. by including whole grains, vegetables and whole fruits,” said Minal Shah, the senior nutrition therapist at the Fortis Hospital in Mulund. Include a protein source in every meal Ensuring you do not have any deficiencies enables the body to work at optimum. Test for the most common deficiencies Vitamin D and B12 and get a supplement from your doctor if you are deficient. “Adding fruits, vegetables is a great way to get an added dose of nutrients and ensuring you include a protein source in every meal will help the body repair and regenerate well. Opt for Lentils, Legumes, meat or dairy-based products. If you don’t have access to fruits and vegetables, adding a super green powder will help get added nutrients. I personally like to encourage probiotics daily to help increase gut health, a bowl of curd is an under-promoted superfood,” said Simrun Chopra, a lifestyle and transformation Coach: Keep salt intake in check A high salt diet may increase blood pressure and make people vulnerable to stomach cancer, and heart diseases in the long run. “Check on the Salt intake, as excess of Salt/ Sodium intake will lead to water retention, meaning puffiness and bloating. Also, it will increase the risk of high blood pressure, increase risk of Heart Disease, Stroke, Kidney Disease, and other health problems. Replace table salt with alternatives like Lemon, Pepper, herbs, Kokum, Tamarind, Jeera etc. for palatability, “ said Shah. Exploring a plant-based diet According to dietitians, people should put in extra emphasis on the food they eat and try to avoid meat-based items. “In the times of coronavirus pandemic, moving to a plant-based diet is an intelligent move because it is a powerful way to live longer, help the environment, and reduce our risk of getting sick. Therefore, a diet plays a crucial role in maintaining your overall wellbeing and nutrition especially when we are fighting with COVID-19 pandemic,” said Neha Pathania, the chief- dietitian at Paras Hospital in Gurugram.
