Abstract
Millets, a type of cereal from the Poaceae family, are among the earliest crops still produced today. They are a customary staple meal in the world's arid regions. It is a drought-resistant crop that needs minimal upkeep. This paper examines the possible anti-aging benefits of many millet species, including finger millet, foxtail millet, and pearl millet, as well as their diverse nutritional profiles. Rich in vital minerals like vitamin E, selenium, and amino acids, as well as antioxidants like polyphenols and flavonoids, millets assist tissue repair, improve collagen synthesis, and lessen oxidative stress on the skin. Their low glycemic index also helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, which lowers the risk of age-related illnesses including diabetes and heart disease. Additionally, millets support intestinal health, which is essential for absorbing nutrients and maintaining general vitality. Millets are an environmentally friendly crop that promotes agricultural sustainability because they demand little in the way of resources to grow. By integrating millets into the diet, individuals can benefit from a natural approach to longevity, promoting both personal health and environmental well-being.
