Healthy eating is a kind of self -respect
Hello! I’m Akanksha. I’m a dietitian, mom, and nutrition communicator who loves eating and cooking delicious food with friends and family while balancing that with good health. I founded Lotus Health in the hopes of helping empower people to make healthful eating a natural and fun part of their lifestyles.
What I love most about what I do is being able to spread messages that inspire people to feel as good as they can through food, and how to achieve that in a sustainable way. Lotus Health helps spread these messages by reaching millions through our content in blogs and whatsApp groups, healthy recipes.
This website and blog are a way to share our nutrition insight, the latest food trends and healthy recipes, along with how I personally balance mindful eating and exercise with all the other things that try to get in the way!
