Traditional Indian Diet, Sugar and Diabetes – Sweetify
Indian diets are a contested topic and so is sugar. And why wouldn’t they be when India is the diabetes capital of the world. Stress, harsh and toxic work environments, non-inclusive policies and more all lead to people working ungodly amounts of time in the workplace leaving them with negligible to zero time or energy to do something else. To make all this work possible, matters for the self are made worse by consuming ultra-processed foods and spending no time on physical activity. The cycle for most is to get up, have some processed food, go to work, have some processed food in lunch, continue work, have some processed food snacks, work some more, return and have some more processed food before succumbing to the mental and physical fatigue and slipping into exhaustion. On top of this, traditional Indian food is loaded with sugar, oil and salt. And a lifestyle such as the one described above does not get any help from that.

Why we need to reduce our sugar intake?
We didn’t always consume so much sugar. Previously, we got sugar from fewer sources like fruits and the like. That much sugar was enough for our bodies to handle. But now, almost all products out there have sugar added to them. And with so much sugar overloading our systems, our bodies are breaking down. Think about it, you have sugar present in fruits, vegetables, and milk, then it is added in teas, coffees, juices, snacks, and so much more. WHO recommends around 30 to 40 grams of sugar per day but we intake around 80, double the amount.
