6 Generational Health Patterns Indian Families Need to Break

2. Dietary Habits: The Double-Edged Sword

Traditional Indian diets, rich in spices, grains, and vegetables, are celebrated for their diversity and flavor. However, the excessive consumption of refined grains, sugars, and unhealthy fats has led to a rise in diet-related diseases. The generational pattern of eating carbohydrate-heavy meals with minimal protein can contribute to nutritional imbalances. By integrating more balanced meals that include lean proteins, whole grains, and fresh produce, families can preserve the culinary heritage while improving overall health. Education on portion control and mindful eating can further support this transition.
