Top 3 Worst INDIAN Food

According to WHO's(World Health Organisation) Survey INDIA is the 3rd most Obese country in the world . This is an alarming news.
Being an Indian I am proud to say that the food we make here looks mouth watering and tastes great, but I would like to ask.
Is it really good for our well being and health ?
Some of the food items we make are really healthy but the majority of food we are consuming in today's scenario is completely unhealthy.

Now, we'll take a look at the TOP 3 WORST INDIAN FOOD we are consuming regularly.

1) SWEETS : 

Like I shared earlier in my previous article about SWEETS being your biggest enemy with respect to any type of goal.

Here, I'll explain you WHY exactly are sugar bad for our health.
To understand this reason scientifically firstly, we need to know about Glycemic Index.
To put it in simple terms - it shows the value which determines how fast can sugar be absorbed by our body.

• It is measured on a scale of 1 to 100.
• Higher this number, the faster it is absorbed by our body.

                        

SUGAR has the Glycemic Index of 100.

This implies that, as soon as you consume sugar it is converted into ENERGY.

A Question to all of you.
What do you think happens to the sudden rush of energy from sugar when not used ?

Yes, you guessed it right. 

It is directly stored as FAT in your body.

I understand we INDIAN as accustomed to sugar but we can definitely make a change.

On the contrary, SWEETS have no NUTRITIONAL contents.

2) FRIED FOOD : 

We INDIANS tend to love pakodas too much, we have just every variety of them. From vegetables to fruits. We happen to like fried food to an extent where even some of our SWEETS are fried.

Isn't it ironic?

keeping the psychological thoughts & taste aside.

What does this Fried Food offers us ??
The answers is, NOTHING.

                         

Some disadvantages of having FRIED FOOD,

• Cheap quality OIL
• Bad FATS
• Use of White Flour (Maida)
• Cholesterol issues & many more 

3) Namkeen : 

This is one of the most common food which can be found in almost every household of INDIA. We INDIANS love namkeem and have it with our friends & families on regular basis.

For some, it's their morning breakfast with tea.

In most parts of INDIA, it's more like a tradition to offer snacks to our guests which is again some form of namkeen or sweet.

If we just think about it and question.

what does namkeen has to offer ?

Well, You guessed it right.

NOTHING!

and what's the Icing one the top?

• It's fried multiples times.
• What quality of Oil did they use ?
• How many times that oil was used ?
• What the food made in hygienic condition? 

                          

I understand that INDIAN food is not one of the healthiest but we always have healthier tasty alternatives but we either choose to ignore them or we are unaware of them.

All we lack is the right knowledge about food and nutrition.

When guided in the right direction I am sure we can definitely make INDIA a healthy & fit country.
