Why Nutritionists Recommend Millets for a Healthier Life

 

By Ms. Sagarika Garg, Nutritionist at Soulfull, Tata Consumer Products

As we step into 2025, more people are looking for ways to stay healthy and live sustainably. One simple yet powerful food choice is millets—small but mighty grains that are naturally gluten-free and packed with protein, fiber, and essential minerals like calcium.

 

Unlike refined grains like white rice, millets retain their nutrients, making them a healthier option. Their high fiber content aids digestion, keeps you full for longer, and provides steady energy throughout the day. Plus, their low glycemic index helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, preventing energy crashes.

 

Incorporating millets into your diet is easy and delicious! Start your day with millet-based muesli, granola, or porridge for a nutritious breakfast. Use them in salads, soups, or as a substitute for rice and wheat in everyday meals. You can even swap regular flour for millet flour in baking, making your favorite treats more wholesome.

 

Millets aren’t just great for your health—they’re also good for the planet! These hardy grains require less water and grow well in diverse climates, making them an eco-friendly choice. Today, millets are widely available in stores in the form of whole grains, flours, and ready-to-use mixes, making it easier than ever to include them in your meals.

By choosing millets, you’re making a smart choice for both your health and the environment. Why not start today?
