Hyderabad Doctor On Alarming Rise In Diseases Due To ‘Swiggy-Zomato Culture’: ‘Kitchen Only For Reheating’
Hyderabad Doctor On Alarming Rise In Diseases Due To ‘Swiggy-Zomato Culture’: ‘Kitchen Only For Reheating’
Cooking was once a basic life skill, but many youngsters are slowly moving away from it. Home-cooked food is still known to be healthy and comforting, yet long work hours and busy city life make many depend on food deliveries. For people living alone or working far from family, ordering meals has become a daily habit. Dr Sunita Sayammagaru recently pointed out how this change is clearly visible in big cities. While getting her flat renovated near Hyderabad's IT area, she noticed that many young professionals barely use their kitchens.
Kitchens are kept simple and are mainly used to reheat food ordered online. Her young patients have shared the same story. Many people in their early twenties, both men and women, do not know how to cook at all. Because people are eating more ready made meals instead of home cooked food, health problems related to diet, such as obesity, diabetes and other metabolic diseases, are becoming more common.
Cooking Skills Are Slowly Disappearing
Taking to X (Formerly Twitter), Dr Sunita Sayammagaru explained, “If you have someone in your life who cooks food for you with love, then you are very lucky. We are getting our flat redone, which is near the IT sector of Hyderabad. My trusted carpenter told me a truth which I was already aware of. The young crowd, the single and married people who are working in IT jobs, hardly use their kitchens. Their kitchens are very basic. They mainly use their kitchen to heat the Swiggy/Zomato food."
“Today, met a young 24 woman who has been my patient for the last 5 years, she is employed too. She said the same, hardly any of her friends (female and male) know how to cook. My patient is lucky, she loves to cook, hence she cooks well. Cooking, a skill which is slowly being forgotten or outsourced. Hence, we are seeing the rise in metabolic diseases," the doctor added.

Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “Then, am lucky (or we have raised them well), our daughters prefer their own cooking to Swiggy (mostly)."
Another shared, “I have cooked (didn't know how to cook before my marriage) for 40 years for my family, except for brief breaks. I balanced my full time job, home and bringing up the kids and now that we are retired, I continue to cook thrice a day with Sunday specials, etc. Infact, I cook most times while visiting children and have never found it a big burden."
“All IT people are eating breakfast dishes at night that too till 12 pm. When both husband and wife are working no time to cook at home," a comment read.
An individual stated, “With my limited knowledge of astrology and spirituality, it's a healing technique as well for depression. Especially putting dough for rotis. Same with playing sports using the hand and eye. Cooking is a superb way to connect with people as well."
Another mentioned, “I definitely can say we are lacking the taste in our cooking that our mothers or grandmothers have in their hands. Luckily, I too love cooking and got trained by my granny, but I never match their taste."
One more added, “Younger generations often lack basic cooking knowledge, seeing it as a chore rather than a vital life skill. Learning simple, healthy recipes can make cooking less intimidating. Doctors and nutritionists can play a key role by teaching patients practical cooking strategies."
Focus On Experiences, Not Just Checklists
Earlier, Dr Sunita Sayammagaru had pointed out that many treat their vacations like a checklist. Instead of relaxing, they rush from one place to another, trying to see everything. This leaves them tired rather than refreshed. She adds that it is okay not to visit every single spot. The important part is to enjoy the places you do visit.

People now-a-days go on a holiday and come back tired!!!We go on a holiday and come back relaxed.
I observed the difference.
We go on a holiday, and just visit that one place or perhaps a neighboring place. We visit places in a leisure manner.
We know we can't visit ALL the…

When people focus only on covering every destination, they miss the experience and lose the true purpose of a holiday, which is to relax. Travelling should be about enjoying the moment.
