## Resource

In this episode, I speak with Dr. B. Sesikeran former Director of National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), about why modern Indian diets are making us unhealthy.We break down low-protein diets, carb-heavy plates, low fiber intake, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, and the myths around millets, milk, ghee, and ‘healthy’ packaged foods.Dr. B. Sesikeran also shares how refined foods, poor food choices, and low physical activity are silently driving diabetes and other lifestyle diseases in India.We also touch upon how everyday staples like the atta we use, fit into our diets, and what actually makes a meal balanced or harmful.Most importantly, he explains simple, practical food choices that can genuinely improve your health without overcomplicating your plate.This conversation will completely change the way you look at your daily meals.
