Average Indian diet is 70% protein-deficient: Prashant Desai

Prashant Desai, a health educator, highlighted a “massive" deficiency in the Indian diet, noting that the average person consumes only 0.5g to 0.6g of protein daily. This is nearly 70% less than the recommended optimum. He explained that this deficiency makes Indians appear "weak" compared to other populations and is a primary driver behind rising diabetes rates.
