MUMBAI, 7 APRIL, 2023 (GPN): On World Health Day, the health experts have urged us to look at the fact whether we are getting the right nutrition from the food. As a society, are we conscious about our intake of the right nutrition through vegetables, fruits, and other food items, which we consume? The health experts have asked the question. According to them, the answer is less awareness about the right kind and value of nutrition we need to take to build a right health profile. The nutrition and health experts have started talking about this need for building a right nutrition profile for building a right health profile. People who are ignorant about their health need to understand more about it by following a right health and dietary regimen and people who are health conscious need to go just beyond their dietary habits and understand what right nutrition values they need to maintain their metabolism. Says a health expert, “If we look at the vegetables, fruits and other food items around us, largely, most of these are low – on nutrition owing to various reasons, as they are not fresh and safe to consume. Handled in unsafe and unhygienic ways, the vegetables and fruits are contaminated and do not give the right nutrition that we need.”

A well – known Nutritionist and Dietician Archana Karnik said, “Go green, eat green and keep our planet clean. “Healthy Me’ and You’ will keep discovering a healthy environment. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables will enrich the body with vitamins, minerals, and fibres. The surplus will nourish the body with quick energiser, immunity enhancers and be a perfect hydrating summer coolant for now. Intake of organic fruits and vegetables is a reversal journey to our traditions – our ancestors’ healthy lifestyle, which they called as FOOD. It will not only pursue the farmers to grow more, but also promote animal welfare and take a baby step for a healthy future. “

On this World Health Day, KisanKonnect, which is a D2C online provider of farm fresh vegetables and fruits, and village staples have come up with a special drive to create awareness about eating the right vegetables and fruits, which are key food sources, with high nutrition values in fresh and safe ways.

KisanKonnect, a farmer – centric organisation is focusing on building a nutrition profile of people for their right health profiles. Not only the farmers are educated to use right, chemical – free fertilisers and use micro – nutrients to keep up the nutrition values intact in the produce; but they are encouraged to use Regenerative Agriculture Practices like soil management, low use of chemical fertilisers, etc for better hygienic produce. Any nutrition imbalance can cause damage to the health. With this thought, KisanKonnect is appealing to people to look at the nutrition profile of the vegetables and fruits they are consuming. For aiding people in this search, KisanKonnect has brought a technology tool of traceability with which the buyers of vegetables and fruits can trace the product for its origin, date of production for freshness, place of the produce and nutritional values of the produce.Ends
