Why Millets

Why Millets?

Millets, a group of small-seeded grains, have been cultivated for thousands of years and are prized for their impressive nutritional profile. At Empowered Millets, we’ve partnered with Classic Catering, where Chef Bobby crafts wholesome millet-based meals based on Dr. Khader Valli’s protocols. Here’s why we believe millets are a game-changer for health and well-being, especially in today’s world:

Nutrient-Rich and Low Glycemic Index (GI)

Millets are naturally rich in essential nutrients, including fiber, proteins, vitamins, and minerals like iron, magnesium, and phosphorus.

Supports Heart Health

Millets are abundant in antioxidants, including phenolic acids and flavonoids, which combat oxidative stress and support heart health.

Ideal for Weight Management

Millets are low in calories but high in fiber, which promotes satiety and helps control hunger. They’re an effective choice for anyone.

Alkaline and Easy on the Digestive System

Unlike refined grains, millets are naturally alkaline, which helps reduce acidity and promote digestive health. Dr. Khader Valli’s approach incorporates specific millet varieties known for their gentle, gut-friendly qualities.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

Millets require fewer resources to grow and can thrive in arid, low-water conditions.By promoting millet-based meals, we’re not only offering healthy alternatives but also supporting sustainable agriculture, as championed by Joseph Dias.
