India’s Home-Cooked Food Isn’t Always Healthy — NutriScan App Reveals Why
New Delhi [India], April 23: Most of us think we’re eating healthy. But do we really know what’s on our plate?
Did you know? 1 in 4 Indians are obese. Lifestyle diseases like diabetes, PCOS, and fatty liver are hitting younger people than ever before. Yet most of us think, “I eat ghar ka khana, toh I’m safe.”
But here’s the harsh truth: even home-cooked food can be harmful — if you don’t know what’s in it.
Street snacks, restaurant meals, or that innocent-looking paratha — they may be packed with excess calories, poor-quality oils, hidden sugars, or almost zero nutrition. And in India, food rarely comes with a label.
We’re eating blind. And our health is paying the price.
Home food isn’t always healthy. Restaurant food? Even Worse.
Your aloo paratha might have more oil than a plate of fries. That samosa you grabbed at work — 560 calories. That mayo sandwich? D-grade nutrition. We eat blindly, assuming that food made with love is automatically nutritious.
We’re surrounded by:
- Meals that are tasty but dangerously calorie-dense
- “Healthy” snacks promoted by influencers — actually sugar bombs
- Daily food routines with low protein, high carbs, and missing nutrients
Why Most Diets Fail in India
We live in a country where:
- 80% of meals are homemade but not nutritionally balanced
- Outside food is often cooked with unhealthy oils & additives
- Packaged food labeled “healthy” can hide salt and sugar
- We eat by habit, not awareness
- There’s no simple way to know nutrition in Indian food
- Most fitness apps don’t understand desi dishes
That’s exactly why we built NutriScan — an Indian solution for Indian households.
What is NutriScan App?
NutriScan App is India’s first AI-powered meal tracker and personalized Indian diet planner — built for Indian families.
- You just open the app, click a picture of your meal — and boom! NutriScan tells you what’s in your food.
- NutriScan understands the complexity of Indian diets — from poha to parathas, from office dabba to wedding buffet.
Not just calories and macros — it also shows key nutrients like fiber, calcium, potassium, omega-3 and more. You also get a NutriScore – a simple color-coded score (A-E) to know if your meal is healthy.
NutriScan works with:
- Home Food
- Packaged food
- Supplements
- ☕ Drinks and juices
- Zomato / Swiggy food orders
This app is not just for fitness freaks. It’s for:
- Busy moms
- Office workers
- New parents
- Retired uncles
Why NutriScan Works for Indian Families
NutriScan is built for how we eat (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEwSGo5PnXG/):
- Recognizes regional dishes like idli, poha, bhurji, khichdi
- Understands your cooking style — fry, steam, boil
- Adapts to your lifestyle — work-from-home, office, or travel
- Supports goals like Weight Loss, Diabetes, PCOS, Pregnancy & Viral/Flu Recovery.
It’s not made for athletes. It’s made for everyone who wants to live better.
Somya, 29, from Bengaluru, wanted to lose weight for her cousin’s wedding. She thought she was eating light — until NutriScan showed her regular aloo paratha had a red NutriScore.
She switched to moong chilla with curd — a green score and more protein.
In 6 weeks, she lost 4.5 kg.
“NutriScan made eating smarter easy. I didn’t have to eat less — just better.”

Historic Agnihotra Ceremony Sets Nobel World Record with Participation from 11,111 Households in Dharwad
Dharwad (Karnataka) [India], April 23: In a groundbreaking spiritual and cultural milestone, Gram Vikas Society, in collaboration with Universal Knowledge Trust, has successfully set a Nobel World Record for organizing the largest Agnihotra ceremony with participation from 11,111 households during a single sunset. The historic event took place on Sunday, April 13, 2025, between 6:30 PM and 7:30 PM, at the scenic Indigo Campus, Mansoor, Dharwad. Families from across regions and communities came together in unity through the sacred fire ritual, establishing a powerful symbol of collective harmony and spiritual resurgence.
The record was officially recognized and declared by a four-member panel from Nobel World Records, adding a new feather in Karnataka’s cultural crown. The initiative was led by Jagadish Shekhar Naik, President of the Gram Vikas Society, whose vision and commitment made this spiritual feat possible.
Voices of Unity and Wisdom
The event was graced by prominent dignitaries including Speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, Sri U. T. Khader, who lauded the event’s unifying spirit. He said, “This kind of event brings people of all religions together in harmony. It promotes positivity, mutual help, and forgiveness—values that resonate across all faiths. Only through unity can India become a world leader and set an example for peaceful coexistence.” Union Minister Sri Prahlad Joshi also addressed the gathering and the media, emphasizing the universal appeal of Agnihotra: “Agnihotra is not just a Hindu ritual; it has become a spiritual tool for all. Participants from Muslim and Christian backgrounds were also part of this collective act of healing. India’s essence lies in its energy—from the sun, the earth, the water—and Agnihotra channels that in a positive, scientific way.”
A Return to Ancient Wisdom
The Agnihotra ceremony, rooted in Vedic tradition, involves a simple fire ritual performed at sunrise and sunset. It requires no priest or elaborate setup—just sincerity and devotion. Its benefits, widely acknowledged by practitioners and researchers alike, include:
- Purification of the environment
- Reduction in stress and mental fatigue
- Enhancement of immunity
- Promotion of emotional harmony and family well-being
- Ash believed to have healing properties
As modern life becomes increasingly fast-paced and disconnected from nature, the return to such ancient, easy-to-practice rituals is both timely and transformative.
A Message for the Nation
This record-setting event has rekindled interest in India’s ancient spiritual sciences, bringing them into the spotlight not just as religious customs, but as tools of unity, well-being, and ecological balance. More importantly, it has ignited a nationwide conversation on reviving traditions that unite rather than divide.
