India's Protein Intake Raises Health Concerns

A recent study found that nearly half of the protein Indians eat at home comes from cereals like rice and wheat.

While Indians eat enough protein on average, cereals are not the best source because they don't have high-quality nutrients.

The study also found that people are not eating enough vegetables, fruits, and pulses, and are using too much cooking oil, salt, and sugar.

People in poorer areas eat much less milk and fruit compared to richer areas.

The study suggests that India should change its food programs to include more nutritious foods like coarse grains, pulses, milk, eggs, fruits, and vegetables.

This will help people eat better and stay healthier.
