Development of health flakes (SIDKAD) A Siddha Kayakurpam diet for diabetes and evaluating its nutritive, Anti-oxidant and Anti-inflammatory Activity funded by AYUSH

The Siddha system of medicine highly recommends lifestyle modification, especially dietary substances, for the management and prevention of diseases. Kayakarpam is defined as lifestyle modification through routine, seasonal routines, diet and drugs. One such diet is SIDKAD, a Siddha Kayakarpam diet indicated for diabetes patients as well as normal individuals for preventing diabetes. However, it is necessary to understand the blood glucose-raising potential of SIDKAD. As there is the rise of consuming high-glycemic foods, there is a need to explore traditional foods and its cost-effectiveness.
