  • Insufficiencies of Indian diet are associated
    with nutritional deficiencies
    90% Indians have
    a diet deficient in proteins claims
    a recent study1
    • Most of the protein is from cereals with
      relatively low digestibility and quality5
    56% women and 24%
    men in India have
    anaemia2
    • Low vegetable consumption and poor bioavailability from phytate-rich food contribute to deficiency of iron, folic acid,and vitamin B126
    70% Indians are
    vitamin D deficient3
    • Cooking methods like frying thermally degrade vitamin D3
    • Indian diet is low in calcium due to high-phytate that impairs absorption and high salt content that increases excretion3
    Indians are deficient in
    vitamin C4
    • Lower intake of fresh fruits and vegetables and over-cooking of food contribute to deficiency4
    After illness, poor quality of nutrition can lead to increased disease severity,
    duration, and even higher incidences of re-infections.
