Millets The sustainable Nutritious Solution for a Healthier Future.

Abstract

In the current global scenario to decrease nutritional deficiencies and lifestyle-related disorders, millets offer a sustainable and health-promoting alternative. Rich in dietary fiber, proteins, essential amino acids, and minerals, millets align with Ayurveda's dietary principles. These grains are not only gluten-free but also low in fat absorption, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Ancient scholar’s texts such Bhavaprakasha have acknowledged the significance of millets under the classification of Kshudradhanya. This article explores their traditional references, nutritional composition, and their relevance in modern health contexts.
