"PGIMER Study: Alarming Nutrient Deficiencies in North Indian Diet"
A study by PGIMER and The George Institute for Global Health found that the North Indian diet is high in salt and phosphorus while being low in potassium and protein, posing a risk for hypertension and other health issues. The study revealed that the intake of salt and phosphorus exceeded recommended levels, while potassium and protein intake fell below the WHO guidelines. This dietary imbalance, combined with other unhealthy lifestyle factors, contributes to the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases in the region.
