For clinicians
One recommendation. Zero behaviour change.
Svayam is a food-based nutrition mix for adults over 50. Patients blend it into their existing atta (40:60), so adherence doesn't depend on a new daily habit. It addresses protein, glycemic load and the D3/B12 deficiencies common in this group — in a single line: 'Mix this into your atta.'
