About Paan
Paan is a traditional South Asian preparation made from betel leaf, areca nut, and a variety of fillings such as slaked lime, spices, sweeteners, or tobacco. Originating from India and widely consumed across South Asia, it is commonly offered as a digestive aid or a breath freshener, often following meals. Paan is celebrated for its cultural significance but is nutritionally complex. The betel leaf is rich in antioxidants and has mild antibacterial properties, making it beneficial in small amounts. However, the areca nut, a main ingredient, has been linked to serious health risks such as oral cancer and cardiovascular issues when consumed regularly. Sweetened varieties of paan may also contribute to excess sugar intake. While the leaf itself carries some health benefits, the overall impact of paan depends largely on its preparation and consumption frequency.
