According to a study:
- The origin of diets is primarily from hunting and agriculture.
- The hallmarks of the diet include grains (in the form of millets), cassava flour, lentils, peanuts, green vegetables.
- Such as spinach and cabbage, beans, sweet potatoes, bananas, water, and grain beer (which contains very little alcohol).
- Millets surely seem to offer high nutritional value and contribute to a cancer-protecting effect.
- Millets are the cheapest and the oldest cultivated crops known to humans.
- They are possibly the first cereal grains used for domestic purpose.
- They can boast of some unique health benefits, quite distinct from the staples — wheat, rice and corn.
- Apart from having good-quality protein (10-12%).
- Millets are a potentially important source of nutraceuticals and antioxidants.
- Like phenolics, tannins, and phytates, and cholesterol-lowering waxes, especially in Sorghum.
What study says?
- A study also reports that dietary phytate helps prevent dental caries.
- In addition atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, as well as against a variety of cancers.
- In addition, it is also beneficial for preventing kidney stones, and diabetes.
- All in all, millets are highly digestible, high-nutrient, gluten-free, hypo-allergic grains.
