Dr. Ashok Kumar Tyagi’s Post

🌱 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮 🌱 I'm thrilled to see the significant shift towards healthier eating habits in India. Recent data indicates a marked rise in the consumption of low-salt, low-sugar, and nutrition-fortified packaged foods, reflecting a growing trend towards healthier lifestyles. This shift is not only prominent in urban areas but is also gaining traction in rural regions. This transition is driven by increasing awareness of the health risks associated with high sugar, salt, and fat intake, as well as rising concerns over diabetes and obesity. I've noticed this change firsthand in my community, with more people opting for healthier options and discussing the importance of balanced diets. It's inspiring to see how consumer preferences are evolving and how the food industry is adapting to meet these new demands. Food companies have responded admirably by enhancing the taste and nutritional content of their products, which has helped overcome initial resistance from consumers who found healthier options less appealing. I believe this innovation in the food industry is crucial in supporting and sustaining this positive trend. As we continue to prioritize health and wellness, I look forward to more innovations that make healthier choices accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Let's continue to support and promote healthier eating habits! 🌟 #HealthyEating #Nutrition #ConsumerTrends #HealthAndWellness #FoodIndustry #Innovation #India #HealthyLifestyle Link to the article: https://lnkd.in/gKHVvCpR

In the bustling markets of India, food giants have mastered the art of appealing to our senses. From vibrant packaging to tantalizing flavors, these companies know how to catch our eye and delight our taste buds. However, this emphasis on sensory appeal often comes at a significant cost: the nutritional value of the food we consume. Many products on the shelves today are high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats. While they might be irresistible to our senses, they contribute to a range of health issues, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. It raises a critical question: Are we sacrificing our long-term health for short-term sensory satisfaction? The responsibility of food giants extends beyond just selling products. They have the power to influence dietary habits and public health on a massive scale. Instead of focusing solely on taste and appearance, it's time these companies also prioritize the nutritional benefits of their products. Consumers are becoming increasingly health-conscious, and the demand for nutritious, wholesome food is growing. Food giants have a unique opportunity to lead this change by reformulating their products to be healthier without compromising on taste. It's time for a shift in the food industry narrative in India. We need to advocate for transparency, better ingredient choices, and a balanced approach that values both sensory appeal and nutritional integrity. As consumers, let’s make informed choices and support brands that prioritize our health. What are your thoughts on the current trends in the food industry? How can we, as consumers and professionals, drive this change? #FoodIndustry #Health #Nutrition #ConsumerAwareness #food

👉 Nutrition Transition is one of the leading factors of 'food confusion' in today's time. What to eat ? What is healthy ? What is not ! 👉 The term was coined by food scientist Barry Popkins in 1993. But we have been observing this phenomenon for the last 3 to 4 decades, esp. in developing economies like ours, India. 👉 There is a shift in the eating pattern. We are moving away from our regional foods and age-old food wisdom to adopt Western dietary patterns. This more often than not reaches us as ultra-processed and packaged foods. From diversity, we are moving towards uniformity. 👉 Bajra, ragi, jowar, kuttu, are local to India and we have been eating these for generations. These are easily accessible and affordable. And the recipes around these, documented or not, are innumerable. ⚠️ But today, we are are happier buying masala oats and googling recipes for making quinoa. ⚠️ Mango and banana are labelled all things bad and avocado becomes the new fad ! *This video is a small clip from my talk on 'Sustainable Eating : for People and the Planet' at Leap Club, yesterday.

At Max Protein, we believe that true independence goes beyond just a date on the calendar—it’s about taking charge of our health and making better choices every day. That’s why we launched the ‘Main Azaad Hoon’ campaign, to inspire a movement where everyone can break free from the habits that hold us back and embrace a healthier lifestyle. In a conversation with Abhishek, a consultant, he candidly shared his 50-50 lifestyle. While he maintains a regular exercise routine, he admits to some unhealthy habits, including smoking and indulging in fast food like fish and chips or burgers. With burgers, chips, and other snacks easily available at the office, and his love for biryani, Abhishek found himself ordering food 3-4 times a week, spending nearly Rs. 5000-6000 monthly on delivery apps. The convenience of quick meals often leads him to choose less nutritious options, despite knowing the drawbacks. However, he tries to balance it out with protein-rich foods like eggs, lentils, and cereals. But now, he’s decided it’s time for a change. Determined to push that 50% towards a healthier version of himself, Abhishek has taken a pledge to cut back on junk food and focus on making healthier choices even amidst his busy schedule. With renewed commitment, he declares, ‘Main Junk Food Se Azaad Hoon!' . . #IndependenceDay #RiteBite #MaxProtein #India #Azaadi #JunkFood #Unhealthy #Snacks #Country #Nation #Voice #HealthyFood #Pledge #NoToJunkFood #HealthyLifestyle #HealthyChoices #Nutrition #Protein #MainAzaadHoon #JaiHind #WellnessJourney #FreedomFromJunk #EmpowerYourHealth #HealthGoals #StrongerBharat #FitnessRevolution

The annual exhibition in Bengaluru is eagerly awaited and a bustling affair. Typically put off by the long queue and the chaos, I would often skip it. However, this year I found myself with some free time and decided to check it out. As I entered the exhibition grounds, I first made my way through the food stall area. A pleasant surprise awaited me: a plethora of food stalls offering healthy options. From sliced guava with a hint of spice to roasted corn and fresh cucumber salad, there was something for everyone. Nutritionists often recommend having a fruit as a mid-morning or a mid-evening snack, so it was heartening to see so many people opting for these healthier alternatives. While traditional snacks like samosas and kachoris were also available, the fresh food stalls clearly dominated the scene. Of course, hygiene is a concern when consuming uncooked food. To minimize risks, it's advisable to choose whole fruits or wash cut fruits thoroughly before consuming. Overall, it was encouraging to see the growing popularity and demand for healthy snacks - it's wonderful to see people making positive changes. #healthyeating #nutrition
