Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphasised the promotion of millets as a potential solution to address the global food security challenges.
Prime Minister Modi's campaign aims to promote Shree Anna, a nutritional solution designed to meet the dietary requirements of millions of individuals across the country.
After PM Modi’s initiative, at the behest of the Government of India, the United Nations declared 2023 the International Year Millets.
Millets, a group of small-seeded, nutrient-rich grains, offer numerous benefits. Here are 5 health benefits provided by this superfood.
Millets are an excellent source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting a healthy gut.
Millets are naturally gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Millets are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, contributing to overall health and well-being.
Millets have a low glycemic index, which means they release glucose into the bloodstream slowly, helping maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Millets are known to have heart-protective properties, as they contain high levels of magnesium, potassium, and fiber.
