ANCIENT GRAINS, MODERN MARVELS: EMBRACING MILLETS IN AYURVE-DIC HEALING FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH

Abstract

Nutrition is a crucial aspect of health and development. Healthy eating is related to improved immune systems, safer pregnancies, and births, a reduced chance of diseases that are not transmissible (such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease), as well as improved longevity. Nonetheless, today's way of life and food choices lead to poor health and nutritional issues such as obesity and diabetes. Millets, which have no impact on weight and have an abundance of nutrients, can be employed in such cases. Millets are a group of small-seeded grasses widely farmed as cereal grains for human and animal use worldwide. Most millets belong to the Poaceae or Gramineae family, which is a grass family. Millet is high in protein, fibre, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, potassium, and manganese, thus serving as a nutrient powerhouse. This article discusses millet and its significance in our daily lives. Some millet preparations are additionally clarified so that they might be included in our daily lives.
