Recent reports show strikingly high prevalence of stress depression among urban Indians and its disorders diabetes, CVDs, blood pressure, sexual problems etc. The dietary intake of adaptogen ashwagandha root powder high in polyphenols flavonoids was associated with stress and its disorders to preventing and multi grain is a low-fat, high-fibre diet promoted weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes without causing unfavourable alterations in plasma lipids or glycaemic control. A High fiber and low-fat diet were found to improve the metabolic control in Type II diabetes and increase HDL and decrease LDL. so, it promotes heart health. Thus, polyphenols, Dietary fat and fibre intake are significant of sustained stress, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases risk reduction. The objective was to modify a product i.e., traditional khakhra which was high in fats and low in fibers & zero in polyphenols into the modified product i.e., Ashwagandha Multigrain Healthier khakhra. in order to improve its fat and fiber content & added ashwagandha as a value-added plant root. The modified product contains multigrain flours, ashwagandha root powder and functional foods like black pepper. On comparison it was found that ashwagandha multigrain healthier khakhra were full with polyphenols, low in fats and high in fibers as compared to the traditional khakhra which were zero in polyphenols, high in fats and low in fibers and thus can be beneficial in stress & its disorders (diabetes, blood pressure, heart diseases) subjects for better health management in today runway life. Aim- Utilization of Ashwagandha as good health promoter for making multi grain nutritious modified Khakhra.

Stress, Polyphenols, Dietary fibre, Low fat food.
