A new study reveals that India’s increasing preference for processed snacks is significantly contributing to the surge in diabetes cases. Many popular snacks are high in sugar and unhealthy fats, leading to obesity and insulin resistance, particularly among young adults and children.
Health experts emphasize the need for public awareness about the dangers of excessive snack consumption and advocate for healthier eating habits. The study also calls for government policies to promote nutritious foods and restrict unhealthy snack marketing, especially to youth.
To combat the diabetes epidemic, a focus on improving dietary choices and encouraging physical activity is essential for better public health in India.
