Millets: From Poor Man's Food to Superfood! Why These Grains Are a Health Powerhouse
•Millets, once considered 'poor man's food,' are now a superfood, popular among health-conscious individuals, gym-goers, and diabetes patients.
•They are a nutritional powerhouse, rich in protein, fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and B vitamins, boosting immunity and strengthening bones.
•High fiber content aids digestion, relieves constipation, strengthens gut microbiome, and is beneficial for diabetes patients due to low glycemic index.
•Millets support heart health by reducing bad cholesterol (LDL) and balancing blood pressure, as explained by Dr. Mohammad Iqbal, Ayush Medical Officer, Rampur.
•Naturally gluten-free, millets offer a great alternative for those with gluten allergies and are environmentally friendly, requiring less water for cultivation.
