A traditional Indian diet includes

A traditional Indian diet includes a balanced amount of protein from wheat, dairy products and rice-bean combinations. Indian medical tradition would say that the Western diet is dangerously high in protein, especially meat centered diets. (The average American consumes about three times as much protein as recommended by the World Health organization.) Protein, compared to the other food groups, is relatively hard to digest. Too much protein in the diet puts an unnecessary burden on the liver and other organs.
