The Protein Myth: Separating Fact from Fiction
In this enlightening session, Salila delves into myth-busting around protein consumption, particularly focusing on the misconceptions prevalent in the Indian context. 

Salila challenges the outdated standards derived from American dietary studies of the 70s, which have been inappropriately applied to Indian diets. 

Key points include the cultural and dietary differences between American and Indian populations, the overemphasis on high protein intake by modern dieticians and fitness trainers, and the importance of balanced meals including traditional Indian foods rich in both proteins and fibers. 

The session emphasizes the need to trust in culturally appropriate diets which have sustained generations and encourages critical thinking against fear-mongering tactics used to sell unnecessary supplements. 

Additionally, Salila references recent scientific findings proving that all plants contain essential amino acids, thus supporting the adequacy of plant-based proteins. 

The talk ultimately aims to bolster confidence in traditional diets and encourages informed dietary choices based on latest research.
