Nice article...! I have heard that Indian Diet typically lacks in protien and omega 3 fatty acids. Are there 2 items covered in sufficient quantity in above diet?

Hi Madhu, It is definitely covering the needs of protein like if u can observe milk (plain/ coffee/ tea), egg, besan in dhokla, sprouts in salad, dal, Non veg etc.. But when it comes to omega 3 fatty acids, u can include it in the form of nuts like walnuts in small quantity, it is also found in olive oil and fish like tuna, salmon, etc..

Hi Madhu, it is essential to have omega 3 and omega 6 in the right ratio(2:1) to be able to acquire their health benefits. if u are a non - vegetarian , have fish, the ratio is righ. For vegetarians , cannola oil, olive oil have the right ratio , and walnuts and almond are gud too .

A combination of cereal and pulse in the ratio 5:1 has been found to give an optimum combination of protein for vegetarians,which justifies the habitual diet of India.
