Gender gap on the plate: Telangana women lag men in protein-rich foods
In Telangana, women face substantial nutritional disparities compared to men, particularly regarding protein-rich food consumption. Recent analysis indicates that only 61.49% of women consume a diverse range of proteins, compared to 91.75% of men. Women’s cooking practices often prioritize family preferences over their nutritional needs, leading to these disparities. Protein deficiencies among women can result in various health issues including weakness and muscle loss.
