About 76% Indian population have Vitamin D deficiency. The main reason is lack of exposure to sunlight, lack of D3 rich means non vegetarian food consumption or it's low absorption rate even if consumed daily. So we have conducted a successful clinical study on D2 rich foods i.e. vegetarian source of vit d, in VishwaRaj Hospital hospital Pune, major concern for D2 rich foods that is vegetarian source of vitamin d is its low absorption rate so we asked to eat homemade pure ghee (clarified butter) with those d2 rich foods as ghee increases absorption of foods and Now published in “Journal of Current Research in Food Science” D2 rich foods are as follows:- 1. Ragi 2. Corn/maize 3. Amaranth seeds(Rajgira) 4. Pomegranate 5. Mango 6. Jamun 7. Amaranth leafy vegetables 8. Mushrooms 9. Sprouts & beans 10. Poppy seeds 11. Sesame seeds 12. Tomatoes Thankyou to Dr Namdev Jagtap, Dr Sushant Shinde, Dr Chandrakant Sahare, and Vishwaraj Hospital for helping me in this study. #vitamind #vitddeficiency #ergocalciferol #research #clinicaltrial

Eat carefully. Our Favorites Shouldn't Ruin Our Health. Pani puri is a very tasty snack. However, concerns have been raised about its quality in recent times. Recently, In Karnataka, the food safety officials tested more than 200 samples. But the result that came in was very unfortunate. They discovered some dangerous artificial colors in some of those samples, such as blue brilliant, sunset yellow, and tartrazine. According to food safety officials, those artificial colors can cause allergies and hyperactivity. Additionally, they discovered carcinogens in some samples, which pose a significant risk to our health. Carcinogens usually directly damage our DNA, and they can also cause cancer. Therefore, individuals should exercise extreme caution when consuming this pani puri dish. Kindly, all should make pani puri recipes on their own at home with natural ingredients. Then there's no need to worry about it. link : https://lnkd.in/g3Tmv_YH News7 tamil | #panipuri | #artificialcolours | #snacks | #healthissues | #TamizhS | #AjithKumar | #Mano | #Hari | #Viral | #carcinogenes | #cancer | #Awareness | #Karnataka | #Tamilnadu | #Karnataka | #foodsafety | #alert | #brilliantblue | #sunsetyellow |

Gen z likes calling it plant pop🍿 Some call it the makhanas. It is also called as a fox nut when it is not a nut at all. It is a seed. It is also called lotus seed when in fact it is a not a seed of the lotus but a seed of the water lily🌷 Fun fact : 90% of the world's makhanas comes from just one state that is Bihar🌁 It is now a global hit with a market worth 43 million dollars and growing 📈 But how did this happen? How did the humble makhana become a global superfood? Well there are 3 reasons for it. 1️⃣ People became more health aware- With increasing global awareness of healthy lifestyles, makhana's rich nutritional profile—high in protein, antioxidants, and low in calories—fits perfectly into the diet trends like keto, veganism, and gluten-free living. 2️⃣ Social media - it became a massive trend during covid. 3️⃣ India realised the superpower of makhanas - They focused on strategic branding and export expansion. This is how makhana became India's new culinary mascot. Do you like eating makhanas or not? Well I only like them roasted. LinkedIn LinkedIn for Learning #makhanas #foxnuts #facts source: firstpost

On this World Food Day, we come together to celebrate not only the bounty of food that sustains us but also the deep connection between our culture, land, and heritage. For the Santhal community in Shikaripara, Jharkhand, food is more than sustenance—it is a reflection of identity, tradition, and the wisdom passed down through generations. Our slogan, "Abua Disom, Abua Jom" (Our State, Our Food), echoes the pride we take in our traditional food systems, rooted in the land and enriched by nature’s bounty. Unfortunately, the rising influence of market-based foods is leading many in our community, away from these time-honored practices. The convenience of packaged and processed foods is eroding the vibrant diversity of Santhali cuisine, which has long been a source of immense nutrition and health. This shift is not just a loss of tradition but also a threat to well-being. Professional Assistance For Development Action (PRADAN) in collaboration with the University of East Anglia (UEA), is working to raise awareness about the incredible nutritional value of Santhali foods and rekindle the relationship between our people and the food that has sustained us for generations. Together, we are committed to reviving the old routines and knowledge that honor our natural food resources—wild greens, millets, traditional grains, and herbs—that are deeply interwoven with the land. As we mark World Food Day, let us remember that the solution to modern health challenges lies in embracing our roots. By returning to our traditional foods, we not only safeguard our health but also preserve the cultural richness of the Santhal community for future generations.

It is a key component in digestion, circulation, temperature regulation, and waste elimination. • Unlike other nutrients, water cannot be stored for long periods in the body, so regular intake is necessary to maintain hydration and support these physiological processes. • The body is composed of approximately 60% water, highlighting its importance in maintaining cellular structure and function. Water also serves as a solvent, enabling the transport of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products within the body, and it aids in enzymatic and metabolic reactions. • Dehydration, or a deficiency in water intake, can impair physical and cognitive performance, leading to fatigue, headaches, and in severe cases, serious health issues. • Given its vital role, the recommended daily intake varies based on factors like age, activity level, and climate, underscoring water's role as an indispensable nutrient for sustaining health and life. #water #essential #nutrient #fundamental #body #functions #digestion #circulation #temperature #regulation #hydration #psychological #process #cellularstructure #cellularfunction #transportation #oxygen #waste #enzymatic #metabolic #reactions #dehydration #physical #cognitive #performence #health #healthylife #food #diet #foodscience #foodtechnology #nutrients #sustainability #foodindustry #NIN #FSSAI #IITB #IITK #AMITY #CFTRI #NIFTEM #BISLERI #linkedin #9am #14nov #linkedincommunity #linkedinconnections #knowledge ICMR-National Institute of Nutrition Food Safety and Standards Authority of India Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur Amity University CSIR−Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management, Kundli (NIFTEM-K) Bisleri International Pvt Ltd

Pazhaya Choru (In Tamil), also known as Pantha Baat in Kolkata and other parts of Eastern India, is a traditional dish made by soaking leftover rice in water overnight. This simple preparation process enhances its digestive benefits: the soaking breaks down the rice's starches, making it easier to digest, and the fermentation overnight increases nutrient bioavailability, beneficial bacteria, and Vitamin B12 levels. It's particularly valued in the hot climates of India for its cooling effect and hydration properties. This dish is not only beneficial for gut health and the immune system due to its probiotic qualities but also provides a quick energy boost in the morning with its simple sugars. Low in calories yet filling, Pantha Baat supports weight management and offers economic and environmental advantages by minimizing food waste. Typically, this fermented rice is consumed in the morning, flavored simply with sliced onions and green chillies, which add a crisp, spicy contrast to the soft, tangy rice. This combination of flavors makes it both a nourishing and refreshing meal to start the day. Venkataramanan Ramasethu

From Balanced Diet to Healthy Diet!!! I grew up in a relatively remote tribal land in Koraput district of odisha with short annual vacation time spent in the northern cosatal districts of Odisha. I have keenly observed the food options quite diverse. Andbthen I have seen How a malnourished Kid looks like... not one but many. At one time my teachers were worried If I was malnourished at school. There were a lot of campaigns on balanced diet back then. The diet recommendation were prepared by practicing Nutritionists keeping in mind the scarcity of food choices available for a particular geography. The ICDS diet recommendation for Koraput ( south odisha) was different to that of Bhadrak district (North Odisha) .. Now I don't see the campaigns on balanced diets... may be the balanced diet recommendation were for poor people and as our economic conditions improve we are now getting recommendations on WhatsApp Instagram youtube etc. Moreover the talk of the town now is Healthy diets the calories calculation the daily protein quota recommendation and what not. I am worried about the future when people would need to produce a prescription to be eligible to get their diets. of all the recommendations my favorite is how to drink water recommendation.... the quantity of water... the time interval of water consumption.... the type of water like mineral water, cold water, hot water, now black water and what not water. I REALLY MISS THE OLD CAMPAIGNS ON BOILING WATER TO MAKE IT SAFE FOR DRINKING.
