\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nSwitch to healthier oils like olive oil, mustard oil, or cold-pressed groundnut oil. Measure your oil instead of pouring it freely, and try saut\u00e9ing or steaming instead of deep-frying when possible.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nSwap white rice with brown rice, quinoa, or millets like bajra and ragi. Use whole wheat flour instead of maida (refined flour) in your rotis, parathas, and baking.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
