Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar has once again sparked conversation around traditional Indian eating habits after explaining why diabetics should not completely avoid desi ghee. In a time when low-fat diets and calorie counting dominate health discussions, Diwekar continues to advocate simple, balanced Indian meals that include everyday staples like ghee, dal, rice and rotis.
In one of her Instagram videos, the nutrition expert explained that adding desi ghee to wheat rotis may actually help people with diabetes by lowering the glycaemic impact of the meal. According to her, traditional eating practices often have nutritional logic behind them, especially when foods are consumed in moderation and alongside balanced meals.
