The five groups for us are grains like rice or roti, pulses (pappu), dairy or alternatives, vegetables and fruits, and fats including our cooking oils and nuts. For deficiencies, pale eyelids and fatigue often point to iron lack, while night blindness or dry eyes can signal Vitamin A shortage. I ignored such tiredness for months, thinking it was just the heat, until a simple blood test at our local clinic showed severe anaemia—now I make sure our annam always includes drumstick leaves and jaggery.
