Gastroenterologist Rates Popular Indian Snacks by Gut Health Impact

Imagine your tummy is like a garden.

Some snacks are like good fertilizer for your garden, helping the good bugs inside your tummy grow strong.

These are things like sundal, which has lots of fiber and good stuff for your tummy.

Other snacks can be like weeds, making it hard for the good bugs to live and sometimes making your tummy feel yucky, like with bloating or pain.

Snacks like momos (steamed) or roasted corn are okay, but fried and processed snacks loaded with fats and weird ingredients can cause problems.

It's best to make snacks at home when you can, so you know what's in them.

Even with good snacks, eating too much can sometimes bother your tummy, so a little bit of everything is usually the best way!
