A new study conducted in UK and in association with health experts from Delhi, compared eating habits and their impact on health between people from India who lived in UK and those who remained in their native countries.

The study showed that the people who moved and accumulated, accepting western way of life and nutrition had higher body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol and were at increased risk of heart disease and diabetes.
