Millets have been an integral part of Indian diets for centuries but have seen a resurgence due to their impressive nutritional profile and potential health benefits. At Deeksha Diet Clinic, we encourage incorporating millets into daily meals to promote better digestion, weight management, and chronic disease prevention.
Why Include Millets in Your Diet?
Millets are gluten-free, rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, and iron. They provide complex carbohydrates that slowly release energy, helping maintain stable blood sugar levels—an important consideration for diabetics and those with metabolic syndrome. Millets also aid in digestion, improve heart health, and support weight loss.
