Millets are ancient grains with remarkable health benefits. In a podcast with Shlloka, Dr. Khader Valli explains why these grains are essential for a balanced, healthy life. Here are the key takeaways, grouped for an easy read with linked video clips for deeper understanding.

1. What Are Millets and How Do They Help? 

Millets like Little, Barnyard, Kodo, Foxtail, and Browntop millet are packed with nutrients and offer unique benefits:

• They replenish the body’s systems by providing natural vitamins, minerals, and energy.
• Unlike polished grains, millets have a low glycemic index, which helps manage blood sugar levels and sustain energy.

2. The Fibre Factor and Blood Homeostasis

• The high fiber in millets slows digestion, allowing nutrients to be absorbed gradually. This helps maintain blood glucose and pH levels, a process known as homeostasis.
• Stable blood homeostasis supports better metabolism and overall health, reducing the risk of chronic conditions.

3. Millets, Carbs, and Proteins: The Perfect Balance

• Carbs in millets: The slow-digesting carbohydrates ensure a steady release of glucose, preventing spikes in blood sugar.
• Proteins in millets: While not as high as legumes, millets offer plant-based proteins that support muscle repair and overall health.

Together, they form a balanced diet for sustainable energy and well-being.
