Popular influencer Revant Himatsingka, also known as “Food Pharmer,” recently released a video about food on airplanes that has gone viral on the internet. Revant claims in an X post that he purchased every ready-to-eat meal option offered by IndiGo Airlines. He then analyzes how much sodium is in some of them. “Just because “Upma”, “Poha”, and “Dal chawal” sound healthy, does not mean they are healthy,” states a portion of the caption for the now-viral photo. Never forget that unhealthy food masquerading as junk food is even more harmful.”
“We already eat too much sodium in India. Eating excess sodium increases blood pressure, which can result in heart and kidney issues,” he points out. He recommends two options for those travelling by IndiGo. One should either bring food packed from home on flights or buy IndiGo’s “decent” nut case/almond box, he advises. Watch the complete video below:
Shocking video about the food served at Indigo airlines!
Most of us already know that Maggi is a high sodium food! What most of don’t know is that Indigo’s Magic Upma has 50% more sodium than Maggi, Indigo’s Poha has ~83% more sodium than Maggi, and Daal Chawal has as much… pic.twitter.com/mUyH3VkXnw
