Expert Recommendation

"Strong bones are the foundation of lifelong mobility and independence. Incorporating calcium- and iron-rich millets like ragi, kodo, and barnyard into your daily meals is a simple but powerful step toward preventing bone loss and improving skeletal health. Nutrition is as important as movement in protecting your spine and joints. Initiatives like the Fresh Start Wellness Café — honored with the 'Social Venture of the Year' award by the Indian Institute of Millets Research (IIMR) — are leading the way in bringing millet-based wellness to everyday lives through focused solutions like their Bone Strengthening Kit."
