Mumbai: On World Health Day, Britannia announces the launch of WiseBite, an initiative focused on empowering consumers toward wiser, more balanced snacking habits. Snacking is a part of daily life, providing energy and enjoyment throughout the day. With evolving food choices and increased awareness about balanced eating, WiseBite brings attention to cravings, informed choices, and sustainable habits, thereby encouraging a mindful snacking approach.
Dr. Balaji Jaganmohan, Consultant Physician & Diabetologist, Apollo Sugar Clinics Bangalore, speaks about the need for mindful snacking, “In today’s fast-paced lives, snacking often becomes an unconscious habit rather than a considered choice. Paying closer attention to what we eat between meals and understanding the how and why behind those choices can bring more intention and balance to our daily routines. Awareness around cravings, portion sizes, and nutritional balance plays a key role in shaping habits that support long-term well-being. Choices between healthy and unhealthy options might predispose an individual to the risk of developing chronic metabolic diseases like Diabetes, Hypertension and obesity.”
Built on three core principles—knowing your cravings, picking right, and building lasting habits—WiseBite offers individuals varied options to approach snacking mindfully. The initiative encourages individuals to take small, intentional steps to bring more awareness to everyday snacking. This includes pausing before reaching for a snack to check in with actual hunger cues, choosing options that are both satisfying and balanced, being fully present while eating—using portion control and avoiding distractions. These simple, sustainable shifts can help make snacking a more conscious, enjoyable, and fulfilling part of the day.
Speaking about the program, Siddharth Gupta, General Manager – Marketing, Britannia said, “The way we snack is evolving, creating an opportunity to encourage mindful choices. With WiseBite, the goal is to equip consumers with simple, relatable information that empowers them to make informed decisions. It’s about simplifying the journey toward mindful snacking in a way that feels relevant and doable in today’s fast-paced lifestyles”
