Working women have the dual responsibility of home n work due to which less cooking time is available which often leads to ready to eat or ready to cook grocery shopping from the departmental stores.This results in the intake of unplanned calories, less nutrition, more salt n saturated fat in the meals of the entire family leading to weight gain n raised blood pressure .
