Local, seasonal foods give good nutrition at a lower price.<\/p>\n<p>Choose millets such as ragi, jowar, sajja (bajra) and korralu (foxtail millet) in place of some polished rice or refined flour. They give more fibre and keep you full for longer. Include dals, pulses, eggs, curd or milk, and groundnuts for protein.<\/p>\n<p>Fill half your plate with vegetables and add a seasonal fruit every day. Leafy greens are cheap and rich in iron and other nutrients. Use oil and ghee in small amounts, and cut down on sugary drinks, packaged snacks and sweets.<\/p>\n<p>Plan your weekly meals, buy in season and cook at home when you can. Pair iron-rich foods with a source of vitamin C, such as lemon or guava, to help your body absorb the iron.<\/p>\n<p>If you have diabetes, kidney disease or another condition, ask your doctor or a dietitian before changing your diet.<\/p>\n<p><em>General information, not medical advice.
