Though the production of millets went terribly low, and the plants which were previously used in each home turned into a fodder harvest in only a couple of years after the green revolution. 2,3 During various life stages, the body constitution changes, thereby demanding special eating habits to maintain regular physiological functions. 4 Indian traditional food systems have the liable to cater to many natural body functions during various life phases and are thus capable of passing on nutrients through soluble parts into the human body. 5 Conventional wisdom about food International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 12 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com To properly deal with a chronic illness, clinicians should provide their patients with practical resources to integrate into their daily lives.

These techniques to include traditional, ancient grains right into a contemporary diet may also be extrapolated to many other high- risk populations which could take advantage of culturally sensitive medical advice on diet modification.

We hope this information is going to help know the areas of Indian food tradition and the changes it has encountered during the 20 th century.
