Parliament Canteen Gets Nutritious Makeover with Health Menu

 

A new “Health Menu” has been introduced in the Indian Parliament canteen to offer healthier food choices for Members of Parliament, officials, and visitors. The aim is to encourage better eating habits while still providing tasty meal options.

The menu features a range of dishes that are lower in calories, salt, and fat, but rich in protein, fibre, and essential nutrients. Calorie information is also provided for each item to help people make informed choices.

Millets have been given special importance in the new menu. Dishes like ragi idli, jowar-based meals, and millet desserts are included to promote the use of these nutritious grains. Millets are known for their health benefits and are also environmentally friendly crops.

In addition to millet-based foods, the menu offers healthy items such as soups, salads, and protein-rich dishes like moong dal chilla, grilled chicken, and fish. Traditional drinks and herbal beverages have also been added as healthier alternatives to sugary drinks.

This initiative aims to support the health and well-being of people working in Parliament, while also spreading awareness about balanced diets and nutritious food choices.

Overall, the new menu combines traditional Indian foods with modern nutrition, focusing on healthier and more sustainable eating habits.
