Poshan Shiksha means nutrition education in Hindi. This website has been founded to spread awareness about about correct nutrition. Earlier nutrition sciences primarily studied deficiency diseases. Recent scientific evidence points to the role of nutrition in genesis of modern diseases like obesity, high blood pressure, heart attacks, diabetes etc, which can be reversed by application of correcting nutrition. Unfortunately, the information on nutrition is full of contradicting views created by the vested interest of industry and experts. For example there are three schools of thought regarding weight loss by dieting; Low carbs diet, low fat diet and low calorie diet. All boast short term weight loss but silent on long term maintenance of weight. After one year, almost all patients regain the lost weight and are back to square one.

Good nutrition is essential for health and longevity. PoshanSiksha.com is primarily founded to spread the knowledge of correct nutrition in an unbiased manner. We believe that education is the key to improving people’s health. Our goal is to empower people to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
