Lifestyle diseases are increasing alarmingly in India. We are also dealing with large scale malnutrition in the population. Is there any method by which we can address both of these problems together?

Solution: Adopting nutritious foods can help prevent both malnutrition and lifestyle problems. As part of an overall healthy diet, eating a diet high in various vegetables and fruits may protect against certain types of cancer. Diets high in fiber-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables, may lower the risk of heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. A balanced diet aids in the development of muscle mass as well as the absorption of nutrients and minerals in the body.

A nutritious diet also aids in the body’s general immunity.

Both of these issues can be addressed with biofortification. It is a method of breeding crops with higher levels of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, and lipids, among other things. It also improves the quality of the meal.
