@@cmohanc critical thinking is infact the first step towards accepting scientific facts because it forms the foundation of the process of inquiry required for scientific methods.
@@cmohanc looking for evidence is definitely a very crucial part of critical thinking. in the absence of evidence or any practical difficulty in getting the evidence, critical thinking can also rely on educated guess or intuition which ofcourse is quite common on scientific journey.
An hour and 38 mins long, this podcast -- but every minute was worth it.Thank you to the Krish- Karishma team for a useful engaing conversation. Knew some of it, got some new ideas too. For example, I cook brown rice only occasionally, but cheaper white rice regularly. But I always pair the rice with a good quantity of dal and veggies, plus curd .A complete meal ensured .
What a delightful podcast. I started listening to it on my lunch break at work, got hooked. Listened to it while driving back and finishing now after dinner. Such an intelligent, well articulated perspective , not everything needs to be scientifically backed, as a doctor myself, this was deep to grasp.
Thank god not one of those discussions where we get to hear “Indian medicine is the greatest” “our ancestors had answers to every health problems” etc etc Very sensible and rational discussion 👌👌
Vegetable sources of iron are not placebo. .beetroot carrot and other vegetarian sources actually work wonders. .I am a doctor and I have seen wonderful results in patients and beetroot has worked really well for me personally as well. .Hb levels go fro 7-8 to 12-13 within 2 months. .
Generalisation is such a massive disaster of current social media era. Not just in terms of food and nutrition, but also in terms of fitness. Like Krish rightfully worded it, the arrogance is assumption and giving advice, along with fearmongering is ridiculous. Great discussion on debunking such myths.
This is pure gold. Thank you Krish for such incisive commentary on food and its cultural histories. Your insights on food taboos is nothing like anything I’ve seen being discussed in popular media.
He's clearly wrong though, additives can enhances the amount of a food item that someone will eat and it will also clearly destroy your health. Listen to an actual Dr, not this idiot. Dr Pal has been going on for the year or two to not eat additive rich food. And it doesn't even matter where something is sourced, whether nature or not. You guys are fools if you are blindly following this guy and totally ignoring actual doctors or forgetting about them.
I hope this reaches the masses. Infact I think krish ashok should also give lectures in Indian medical schools because most of the doctors also fall to the cultural/social biases and hearsay things from their childhood rather than actively actively applying the scientific literature they read about to give nutritional advice to the patients.
This is so dangerous because this guy is not a scientist at best he is a progandist. He always mentions .."the science" but quite often it's is based on his opinion. Rather look at information from Proper Scientists and look at communities that live long healthy lives.
@@keshwin108 not really. I’m a doctor myself and I second his opinions. He knows how to reach conclusions based on evidence based research and systematic review of trials/studies.
This is so enlightening and so much different from the typical social media click bait, fear inducing videos. Loved his analytical approach to each and every question!
Great interview. I tend to agree with most of the things that Krish talks about, but I'm not so sure about generalizing raw food as being a "terrible idea." Again, it's up to the individual. I eat 2 meals a day, both mostly raw, and a bit of cooked lentils with certain vegetables that can't be eaten raw (e.g., eggplant, bhindi, etc.), and I also fast 18 hours a day. I've been doing this for the past 3 years. I have more energy now, throughout the day, than I had 20 years ago, and got rid of all of my troublesome metabolic markers (lipid profile, blood pressure, HbA1C, etc). Up until 3 years ago, I used to be lethargic and always wanting to take naps after a meal. Well, not anymore. I hike 5 miles uphill several days a week, lift weights, have clarity of mind, and I credit all of this to my whole foods, (mostly) raw vegan diet.
Vegetarian and non-vegetarian conflict will be one of the big problems in India within a very short time... And this conflict was created by a small number of people very thoughtfully.. Already, upper-lower, cast conflict, etc., many types of things exist in our society.. These are new types that have increased heavily in the last 8-10 years.. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian people have existed in Indian society for more than 1000 years.. But there were no big problems within them.. Now a days, it's becoming a problem for the vegetarian guys. The problem is the rigidity of the mind, education, thought, hate, some time insensitivity, intolerant, lack of upbringing, etc., among many other things... I am a proud Sanatani Bengali Hindu and non vegetarian. Personally, I do prefer to keep my distance from rigid-minded vegetarian guys... (No problem with flexible guys who don't eat nonveg, but no problem with the other guy who eats nonveg.)
With changing demography everyday 65 babies born and out of that 40000 are Muslims , 20k are Hindus and rest others . With such drastic demographic changes we are looking at becoming an Islamic state in 30-40 years and we will be becoming a Pakistan ( they are cut from same land and have same DNA with only difference being Hindu majority va Islam majority ) . And yet you are worried about vegetarian non veg which is simply a personal choice and has never led to any violence ? Gosh it must be hilarious inside your head to make issues out of molehill whilst being unaffected y real problems
@57:00:00 Krish speaks about gluten allergy and celiac disease What he is saying is slightly misleading. Gluten sensitivity is on a spectrum it's not black and white. In celiac disease - extremely high gluten intolerance is there that it becomes impossible to digest gluten coming from wheat/barley etc A slightly milder form is gluten sensitivity NOT intolerance which goes- which may not show up in Igattg test and HLAdq may be required. This one causes a lot of automimmune condition and people who go off gluten see improvement in their Autoimmune conditions be it Ankylosing Spondylitis, hashimotos or vitiligo. Krish if you're reading this comment, I'd want you to dig deeper on this.
Please you should invite Dr. Khadir Valli a famous independent food scientist of India. He is also known as " Millet man of India". He got padamshree award for his research on Millets which he is doing since 25 years. You can see his research in the pdf of dr. Khadir Valli where he mentioned the protocol of every disease to cure .
Your videos have debunked many myths and have removed a lot of guilt from us about modern day cooking. Thank you for sharing such valuable information with us. Please do a video on branded atta. Is it whole wheat or not?
The idea had that you can't get enough iron from plant sources which are non- heme iron is actually not true at all. Pairing plant sources of iron like legumes and tofu with foods rich in Vitamin C can boost your absorption to the same rates as you would absorb heme iron. You also forgot to mention the studies that show that a very high iron intake from heme iron is associated with an increase risk of many diseases include Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Also, how good your gut and overall health translates if your body can do complex chemical processes to extract the nutrition.. non veg is best for sick people though
nothing is outright good or bad(atleast most foods). its all about the proportion you are taking. cold pressed oil shouldn't be used for frying/deep frying or any kinda high temperature cooking. in that case, refined oil comes to the rescue. as I say, don't blindly take one or the other. we should try to educate ourselves a bit more,. When I say educate, don't blindly just follow someone's opinion. Understand what happens when we consume anything and why certain thing can be good or bad by reading scientific papers.
Deep frying is a bad idea, to begin with. However, if you want to cook or sautee' your veggies, you can do so easily without oil, and still retain great taste in your food.
This guy is literally speaking against everything that is healthy and fooling people by saying the unhealthy practice of food consumption is good. I feel like slapping this guy. He must be called out by the doctors and scientists on what basis does he give gyan on food.
So you are saying if I eat 1 spoon of refined oil per day I will get health problems but if I have 10 spoons of cold pressed oil per day I will be healthy?
Learned refined oils are not be eaten, they cause heart attacks, strokes, etc. Pure cold pressed virgin olive oil is being said to be healthy, and all other seed / vegetables oils are to be avoided. Now we are told pure A2 / desi cow ghee is said to be healthy.
Sat guru did a neuro surgery few months back in AIIMS in full Ayurvedic technology by the guidance of Ramdev, I thought Ramdev would replace his head by our ancient plastic surgery that our PM mentioned once, but nothing happened.. I was so disappointed 😢😢....
Gosh do you see world as black n white ? I don’t know Jaggi Vasudev or haven’t followed SGST he preaches but all Ayurvedic learned practitioner that I go to are highly knowledgeable and not once do they put down allopathy . They say allopathy is unbeatable for life saving whilst inadequate in many other spheres . What Ayurveda can do , allopathy cannot do and vice versa. Mocking something to fit in doesn’t speak highly of oneself , you know ,
That's so sad. Rahul Khan had already made clear that reciting a few verses the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran would have done the trick. You didn't offer your services? 😢 😢
Thank you for this episode Karishma , this man has surely taken care of a lot of fears lingering around in the “diet” world , now If only we can find our own individual balance 🙏
1. *Balanced Meals* - *Macronutrient balance* : Ensure your meals contain a mix of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. They suggest dividing your plate into quarters: one-quarter vegetables, one-quarter protein (e.g., legumes, chicken, fish), one-quarter resistant starch (like quinoa or whole grains), and one-quarter carbohydrates. - *Focus on protein and fiber*: Eating protein and fiber (vegetables, legumes) before carbohydrates can slow glucose release, helping you feel fuller for longer and managing blood sugar levels.
2. *Moderation and Portion Control* - *Avoid extreme diets* : Instead of eliminating entire food groups (like carbs or fats), focus on moderation. Extreme diets like raw food or keto are not for everyone, especially over the long term. - *Cook your food* : Cooked food is easier to digest and provides more nutrients than raw food. This is especially relevant for weight loss, as proper digestion supports metabolism. 3. *Meal Timing* - *Intermittent fasting* : This is highlighted as a useful strategy. You can try eating within a limited time window, such as 12pm to 8pm, and fasting the rest of the day. This can help reduce calorie intake and improve insulin sensitivity, which is key for weight loss, particularly as you age. - *Eat 4 hours before bed* : Avoid eating too close to bedtime, as this allows your insulin levels to return to baseline, improving sleep and metabolism. 4. *Food Choices* - *Healthy fats* : They stress that fats like sesame oil, coconut oil, ghee, and mustard oil are not inherently bad. The key is the amount you consume. Include healthy fats in moderation to support overall health. - *Choose unrefined grains*: Go for whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and dal, which provide fiber and nutrients, helping you feel full and reducing cravings. - *Be mindful with sugar*: Cut down on processed sugar. They advise against sugar substitutes as they can trick your brain into thinking you're consuming calories. Instead, try reducing your overall sugar intake gradually. 5. *Exercise and Lifestyle* - *Regular exercise* : They mention that food alone isn’t enough for optimal health. Regular exercise is important for weight loss, so incorporate daily physical activity into your routine. - *Stress management* : Manage stress, as it can lead to overeating or poor food choices. Practices like yoga, meditation, or simply taking walks can support weight management. 6. *Foods to Watch Out For* - *Avoid highly processed snacks*: Processed foods that combine salt, sugar, and fat in unnatural ways are addictive and can derail weight loss efforts. - *Limit refined carbs*: Minimize refined carbs like white bread, sugary cereals, and maida (refined flour) products. Instead, opt for whole grains. Sample Daily Diet for Weight Loss Here’s a sample daily diet inspired by these principles: - *Breakfast* : A veggie-packed omelet with a slice of whole-grain toast and a spoon of ghee or olive oil. - *Lunch* : Grilled chicken or lentil salad with mixed greens, avocado, and a variety of colorful vegetables. Dress with olive oil and lemon. - *Afternoon snack* : A handful of almonds or a piece of fruit. - *Dinner* : Grilled salmon or tofu with a side of quinoa and steamed broccoli. - *Beverages* : Drink water, herbal teas, or black coffee (avoid late-afternoon coffee). Minimize sugary drinks. This approach emphasizes *whole foods, balance, and mindful eating* -key principles that support weight loss at any age, but especially as you move past 40.
Had a wonderful time listening to this podcast. So informative! Thank you 😊 Also liked that you have discussed organic food. I got to know about organic vegetables but really want to know about organic poultry and meat products. I have a huge concern about it.
Great episode once again! Loved watching him go flawlessly. Sometimes, when he answers, it's hard to trace back to the question :) , but that's part of the charm! 😊 Totally convinced now that it’s okay for my food pyramid to be a trapezoid sometimes-as long as I can swing back to the pyramid.
When I was 20 years old, I used to eat a lot of generally home cooked foods only. Everything got digested because I got at least a couple of hours of outdoor sports activities. As I aged, my sports activities got declined and I gradually ate less and less. Out door foods were just occasional and I used to cook myself when I was alone. Now, I am 74 and have a drastically reduced diet and eat all the same things I used to in spite of being a diabetic and a patient of heart disease. I eat icecreams, have cold drinks and sweetmeats occasionally and smoke (just ignoring all advice). I maintain a fairly good health (taking medicines and vitamin supplements) walking three kilometres almost daily and take light exercises. Fast foods, fried foods and anything in moderate quantities taken occasionally doesn't have any adverse effect. But, as Krishashok says, depends on person to person.
answer me this what happens to male chicks in egg industry? They are killed in the first day of their life. What happens to the male dairy cows . They are killed or abandoned. There is no place of animal derived foods. We can live and thrive on plants+ Vitamin D + supplmental B12.
Please tell us in the US about these carnivore only diet doctors ( actual MDs!!) saying vegetable fruit grain are alllllll bad and only beef and poultry fish eggs pork all meat is healthy
One Small thing. Krish said North and West India have vast fertile plains to cultivate Vegetables. Partly true. West Bengal also has the same fertile land. Please check the Vegetable production statistics (and Rice) West Bengal is among the top 3. However an overwhelming percentage of West Bengal people are indeed Non Vegetarians as he himself said. I believe it is hard core Manuvad Brahmanism that drives vegetarianism in North and West not the land fertility.
This was such a welcome content when we are all bombarded with toooo many don't s about what to eat. Iam sure most of us dont have the mental previlege to eat atleast 1 meal a day happily, without guilt . When we decide our diet based on one nutrition specialist, there comes the other saying what all we had decided for our plate are bad😮. This is endless and purely capitaluzes human fear. Theyve created a large consumer market to propogate the so called diet conscious communities ; and whoever does not conform are termed unhealthy eaters. Ive ditched everything now, and i just keep guard on my portions, try not to repeat the same thing everyday and eat without guilt. Like having a mix of carbs, curries, chutneys, meat and salads. Recent i saw an influencer who said idly was the worst food as it spiked sugar levels😮. Generations of south indians have been having it for breakfast. I mean, how can one generalize food so thoughtlessly? What works for me may not work for another. Its just making money exploiting the fear of people.
I believe idly is amongst the healthiest foods. However, it really does give a big glucose spike. I have seen it recently with a family member, monitoring postprandial glucose level. But the thing is it will produce this spike in preidiabetic or diabetic individuals, not in normal individuals. I guess even for the prediabetics/diabetics, things would be under control, if you had 1-2 idlies with chutney/sambar on the side. If you however, plan to gorge on only multiple idlies (i.e. idlies way more than accompaniments) then you would be in trouble. As for the generations of South Indians having idly as staple, the lifestyle of an average person today is very different from that of the ‘generations’. Hence, modifications would be necessary imo.
Such an informative & unbiased podcast but it only has 88k views so far😢😢... looks like Indians are more interested in Allien's theory, Yeti, Vimaana Sastra & other conspiracy theories.. Thats why channel like TRS is so popular & also getting creator's award 😂😂.... Desh sankat me hai
Curiosity question...I dont have iron deficiency at all and I am a vegetarian south indian..I dont eat so much spinach also ..how is my body managing iron
Hi Krish, I have a genuine question 🙋🏻♀️ I’m big on meal preps to help ease the stress of chopping veggies before cooking. You reckon cut veggies stored in glass boxes with some water lose nutrients? Or are we just paranoid here? 🥺
Dont stress out on these, you are still cooking homecooked food. Even if we are losing small bit of nutrients, which im not really sure, it is still fine, better than cooked n refrigerated food/outside food. You are doing your best, be confident you are doing good 👍🏼
I'm form SharavanBelagola*(which is a holiest place for Jainism) Taluk, Hassan District of Karnataka, which is in southern part of India, with all due respect, Krishasok* sir please do loots of homework before talking about something. Krishasok* in many topics that you discuss in this podcost, your knowledge is substandard (sorry to say this) study well befor going to any postcast like this.
Well, brother! I agree with most of your points, but I'm truly shocked that you don't see any problem with hydrogenated vegetable oils. Even if we overlook the hydrogenation process, decoloring, and deodorizing, the high Omega-6 content still creates a severe imbalance with Omega-3 in our bodies. You also mentioned that people in the past had shorter lifespans, which prevented them from developing Type-2 diabetes. However, we now see even children developing diabetes. Isn't this due to the increased consumption of carbs, hydrogenated oils, and processed foods? For many of the other points, you have oversimplified things to an undesirable extent. I am sure you will look into this matter with the current researches being carried out most of which are available online. Yet, I appreciate your effort to debunk lots of taboos and the way you have enlightened me to think simply and not get trapped by the "so-called" social media experts. Thanks anyway.
Krish Ashok should be given z + security. He should be declared a NATIONAL treasure. 😊 I love you Ashok sir.❤ Host Kudos to you too. Nice dress.Beautiful sofa and lighting.
Sooo true.....kind feel awkward when i see Vegitarian food, seperated like that. In Kerala, nobody bother to say it , so whoever likes food can have it, those with maybe religious preference could select Veg
Cows were revered as sacred in both southern and northern India at the start of the Śramaṇa movement around 2,700 years ago. The importance of cows only declined due to colonization, Islamic influence in the north, and migration to the Gulf in southern India. King Manuneethi Cholan of the Chola dynasty even executed his own son for killing a cow.You should also look into early documents on Kerala by European travelers. A French traveler noted a striking aspect of local culinary practices, stating: "The Pulayas, considered the poorest class in Malabar, led a life of extreme poverty, often surviving on scraps and leftovers. But despite this, they refused to eat cows" (source: Histoire universelle, depuis le commencement du monde).Even today, there’s a tribe in Munnar, I believe in Marayoor, that still refuses to eat cow meat. Violating this taboo can get you banned from their community.
@@Kalki0025 Have the thought gone through you head it could be much simpler reason than sacred?! Diary products being source of much of population and their earning, couldnt be possible they just felt need to have such a rule in place during those times of proverty! Cows being the most common and most milk providing domesticated animal, simply became a focus. It amazing sometimes how things become holy just because some practises are observed. Really Holy cow!!!
@@shesonjose9247 Cows are not only a religious matter in India; they are also culturally accepted and sentimental. They have lived as family members for the last 8,000 years. Even early children bond with them from childhood. Their dung is used to build houses. The cow is a symbol of wealth, strength, abundance, and selfless giving. In Indian culture, the cow is treated with utmost sanctity because it is seen as a life nourisher. Also, wives and mothers see the cow as akin to a child or companion. After their husbands' children go to work, the cow is often the only thing they talk to during their tiresome household chores. For grandmothers, the cow is like a grandchild they rarely see. That's why, in Kerala in old times, cows were given names similar to granddaughters or daughters, like Lakshmikutty, Karthu, and Amminikutty. Showing love for cows is a cultural tradition of the subcontinent because cows provide us with milk as an alternative to a mother’s milk, and we grow up drinking that milk. The bull helps the father with cultivation in the fields. Indian society has been dependent on cows since ancient times, which is why Hindus honor them. There is also a divine aspect: in Tirupati, which has temples thousands of years old, milk is obtained from a very specific cow. In Kerala, any available milk was traditionally offered to nearby temples for pooja and naivedyam (holy food). That’s why Palpayasam is often the most common holy food in temples, regarded as a symbol of the divine. Most scientific research finds that cows are as intelligent as dogs. They are excellent problem solvers, remember faces, get excited when they solve intellectual problems, and can understand emotions. Vegetarianism in India is partly due to the belief in reincarnation. Some people avoid meat because they believe they might be eating the reincarnated forms of friends or family. This belief comes more from Jainism and Buddhism than Hinduism. India also follows an Ayurvedic diet, which has been around for over 3,000 years. It divides food into three categories: Sattvic (pure and healthy), Rajasic (stimulating), and Tamasic (unhealthy). Meat is considered Tamasic and is avoided by many.
This video is like "raja rasoi aur anya kahaniyaan" on an adrenaline. For the engineer in me and someone who loves watching history of food, this was an extreme pleasure.
Everything is ok In moderation. This is not going to work may be for practicality for people not having food on their plate and masses, But if you cook from refund, which uses chemicals to bleach or seed oil which are processed etc. if you can afford use kachi ghani or cold pressed or good quality ghee. If you know a vegetable is spreaded with pesticides and soil health is compromised. Try to grow your own or look for organic. No need to ingest sugar in your tea if you can avoid. The sugar you can get from potato or rice you eat.
At one end he says local trends and tradition follow your grand ma a tips. And other hand he recommends coffee it’s a very alien thing for North Indians. It’s brought by French Dutch and due to climate familiarity and he wants to apply this logic to general masses. For a hit north indian climate a butter milk and chas is what she recommended not 4 cups of coffee. So very contradictory of him saying don’t fall for influencers and tries to influence the mass.
These are two separate things. He meant if the influencer is saying don't eat curd + onion don't listen, but if your grandmom says, maybe she is saying from experience that your family members may have issues with this combo. That combo isn't universal. But he didn't say don't eat anything not local to you. Try new things. Some people can't drink coffee without getting sick even in south india. They should avoid it but large amount of people are ok with it. The point is coffee is universally ok to drink, but if you are exception, don't. Just don't open a youtube channel telling everyone not drink coffee.
I really like the podcast, but does he apply the same principles to Western medicine that apply the broadest level of generalization possible? The basic concept is that most bodies work a certain way and there are a general sense of best practices that may work. Love his point on hyperlocal.

Great interview. I tend to agree with most of the things that Krish talks about, but I'm not so sure about generalizing raw food as being a "terrible idea." Again, it's up to the individual. I eat 2 meals a day, both mostly raw, and a bit of cooked lentils with certain vegetables that can't be eaten raw (e.g., eggplant, bhindi, etc.), and I also fast 18 hours a day. I've been doing this for the past 3 years. I have more energy now, throughout the day, than I had 20 years ago, and got rid of all of my troublesome metabolic markers (lipid profile, blood pressure, HbA1C, etc). Up until 3 years ago, I used to be lethargic and always wanting to take naps after a meal. Well, not anymore. I hike 5 miles uphill several days a week, lift weights, have clarity of mind, and I credit all of this to my whole foods, (mostly) raw vegan diet.
Vegetarian and non-vegetarian conflict will be one of the big problems in India within a very short time... And this conflict was created by a small number of people very thoughtfully.. Already, upper-lower, cast conflict, etc., many types of things exist in our society.. These are new types that have increased heavily in the last 8-10 years..
Vegetarian and non-vegetarian people have existed in Indian society for more than 1000 years.. But there were no big problems within them..
Now a days, it's becoming a problem for the vegetarian guys.
The problem is the rigidity of the mind, education, thought, hate, some time insensitivity, intolerant, lack of upbringing, etc., among many other things...
I am a proud Sanatani Bengali Hindu and non vegetarian. Personally, I do prefer to keep my distance from rigid-minded vegetarian guys... (No problem with flexible guys who don't eat nonveg, but no problem with the other guy who eats nonveg.)
In vegetarian households they are taught that meat eaters are sinners 😂
@@HarshitDwivedi-bi9un yes..
In the name of being vegetarian, their mind and soul are full of hate.
With changing demography everyday 65 babies born and out of that 40000 are Muslims , 20k are Hindus and rest others . With such drastic demographic changes we are looking at becoming an Islamic state in 30-40 years and we will be becoming a Pakistan ( they are cut from same land and have same DNA with only difference being Hindu majority va Islam majority ) . And yet you are worried about vegetarian non veg which is simply a personal choice and has never led to any violence ? Gosh it must be hilarious inside your head to make issues out of molehill whilst being unaffected y real problems

@57:00:00 Krish speaks about gluten allergy and celiac disease
What he is saying is slightly misleading.
Gluten sensitivity is on a spectrum it's not black and white.
In celiac disease - extremely high gluten intolerance is there that it becomes impossible to digest gluten coming from wheat/barley etc
A slightly milder form is gluten sensitivity NOT intolerance which goes- which may not show up in Igattg test and HLAdq may be required. This one causes a lot of automimmune condition and people who go off gluten see improvement in their Autoimmune conditions be it Ankylosing Spondylitis, hashimotos or vitiligo.
Krish if you're reading this comment, I'd want you to dig deeper on this.
That's wrong timeline. Correct one 57:30
Correct timeline 57:30
Please you should invite Dr. Khadir Valli a famous independent food scientist of India. He is also known as " Millet man of India". He got padamshree award for his research on Millets which he is doing since 25 years. You can see his research in the pdf of dr. Khadir Valli where he mentioned the protocol of every disease to cure .

milk veg and eggs non veg - is not scientific.. most rational and best nutritional advice ever.. Krish Ashok you rock
Your videos have debunked many myths and have removed a lot of guilt from us about modern day cooking. Thank you for sharing such valuable information with us. Please do a video on branded atta. Is it whole wheat or not?
You should go Krish' personal channel. He has this covered I think.
Thank you for your comment on food kept in the fridge .. big relief for me as a working mom
Wow , Ashok ji, brilliant critical thinking and it’s gona thinking of how we consume food and it’s a game changer in the world of food and nutrition
Absolutely relevant. Every minute of it. We should have many more such scientific discussion
Krish Ashok amazing research, critical thinking & analysis is cut about the rest 👏
Excellent interview. The analyst in Krish Ashok , is on the roll… everything in moderation is the key to a good diet…
The oil that we get in the market is not refined oil it is a mixture of a small amount of vegetable oil and a large amount of mineral oil.
After hearing his podcasts I really got wide understanding of food and started my own Comfortable diet plan and feeling really good...... 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Indeed very very practical!
Ultimately its our genes that determines our health very true ❤❤❤
The interviewer is asking all the appropriate questions that are on most of our minds. Thank you.
The idea had that you can't get enough iron from plant sources which are non- heme iron is actually not true at all. Pairing plant sources of iron like legumes and tofu with foods rich in Vitamin C can boost your absorption to the same rates as you would absorb heme iron. You also forgot to mention the studies that show that a very high iron intake from heme iron is associated with an increase risk of many diseases include Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Also, how good your gut and overall health translates if your body can do complex chemical processes to extract the nutrition.. non veg is best for sick people though
He mentioned the same in another interview with Raj shamani.
What a relief!
Thank you Krish and HOB!
Refined oils are bad..what are you saying. Cold pressed oils are natural and good. It's even proved
nothing is outright good or bad(atleast most foods). its all about the proportion you are taking. cold pressed oil shouldn't be used for frying/deep frying or any kinda high temperature cooking. in that case, refined oil comes to the rescue. as I say, don't blindly take one or the other. we should try to educate ourselves a bit more,. When I say educate, don't blindly just follow someone's opinion. Understand what happens when we consume anything and why certain thing can be good or bad by reading scientific papers.
Deep frying is a bad idea, to begin with. However, if you want to cook or sautee' your veggies, you can do so easily without oil, and still retain great taste in your food.
This guy is literally speaking against everything that is healthy and fooling people by saying the unhealthy practice of food consumption is good. I feel like slapping this guy.
He must be called out by the doctors and scientists on what basis does he give gyan on food.
So you are saying if I eat 1 spoon of refined oil per day I will get health problems but if I have 10 spoons of cold pressed oil per day I will be healthy?
Learned refined oils are not be eaten, they cause heart attacks, strokes, etc. Pure cold pressed virgin olive oil is being said to be healthy, and all other seed / vegetables oils are to be avoided. Now we are told pure A2 / desi cow ghee is said to be healthy.
Sat guru did a neuro surgery few months back in AIIMS in full Ayurvedic technology by the guidance of Ramdev, I thought Ramdev would replace his head by our ancient plastic surgery that our PM mentioned once, but nothing happened.. I was so disappointed 😢😢....
Gosh do you see world as black n white ? I don’t know Jaggi Vasudev or haven’t followed SGST he preaches but all Ayurvedic learned practitioner that I go to are highly knowledgeable and not once do they put down allopathy . They say allopathy is unbeatable for life saving whilst inadequate in many other spheres . What Ayurveda can do , allopathy cannot do and vice versa. Mocking something to fit in doesn’t speak highly of oneself , you know ,
That's so sad. Rahul Khan had already made clear that reciting a few verses the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran would have done the trick. You didn't offer your services? 😢 😢
Wish ur dreams come true to u nd family when u r in AIIMs 🙏🏽
Extremely impressed with Ashok Krish!!!
I have come across this channel yesterday. I love the host and her listening talent. I am enjoying this.
Thank you for this episode Karishma , this man has surely taken care of a lot of fears lingering around in the “diet” world , now If only we can find our own individual balance 🙏
Indeed
❤️❤️
One sensible talk... Thank you ❤❤
1. *Balanced Meals*
- *Macronutrient balance* : Ensure your meals contain a mix of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. They suggest dividing your plate into quarters: one-quarter vegetables, one-quarter protein (e.g., legumes, chicken, fish), one-quarter resistant starch (like quinoa or whole grains), and one-quarter carbohydrates.
- *Focus on protein and fiber*: Eating protein and fiber (vegetables, legumes) before carbohydrates can slow glucose release, helping you feel fuller for longer and managing blood sugar levels.
2. *Moderation and Portion Control*
- *Avoid extreme diets* : Instead of eliminating entire food groups (like carbs or fats), focus on moderation. Extreme diets like raw food or keto are not for everyone, especially over the long term.
- *Cook your food* : Cooked food is easier to digest and provides more nutrients than raw food. This is especially relevant for weight loss, as proper digestion supports metabolism.
3. *Meal Timing*
- *Intermittent fasting* : This is highlighted as a useful strategy. You can try eating within a limited time window, such as 12pm to 8pm, and fasting the rest of the day. This can help reduce calorie intake and improve insulin sensitivity, which is key for weight loss, particularly as you age.
- *Eat 4 hours before bed* : Avoid eating too close to bedtime, as this allows your insulin levels to return to baseline, improving sleep and metabolism.
4. *Food Choices*
- *Healthy fats* : They stress that fats like sesame oil, coconut oil, ghee, and mustard oil are not inherently bad. The key is the amount you consume. Include healthy fats in moderation to support overall health.
- *Choose unrefined grains*: Go for whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and dal, which provide fiber and nutrients, helping you feel full and reducing cravings.
- *Be mindful with sugar*: Cut down on processed sugar. They advise against sugar substitutes as they can trick your brain into thinking you're consuming calories. Instead, try reducing your overall sugar intake gradually.
5. *Exercise and Lifestyle*
- *Regular exercise* : They mention that food alone isn’t enough for optimal health. Regular exercise is important for weight loss, so incorporate daily physical activity into your routine.
- *Stress management* : Manage stress, as it can lead to overeating or poor food choices. Practices like yoga, meditation, or simply taking walks can support weight management.
6. *Foods to Watch Out For*
- *Avoid highly processed snacks*: Processed foods that combine salt, sugar, and fat in unnatural ways are addictive and can derail weight loss efforts.
- *Limit refined carbs*: Minimize refined carbs like white bread, sugary cereals, and maida (refined flour) products. Instead, opt for whole grains.
Sample Daily Diet for Weight Loss
Here’s a sample daily diet inspired by these principles:
- *Breakfast* : A veggie-packed omelet with a slice of whole-grain toast and a spoon of ghee or olive oil.
- *Lunch* : Grilled chicken or lentil salad with mixed greens, avocado, and a variety of colorful vegetables. Dress with olive oil and lemon.
- *Afternoon snack* : A handful of almonds or a piece of fruit.
- *Dinner* : Grilled salmon or tofu with a side of quinoa and steamed broccoli.
- *Beverages* : Drink water, herbal teas, or black coffee (avoid late-afternoon coffee). Minimize sugary drinks.
This approach emphasizes *whole foods, balance, and mindful eating* -key principles that support weight loss at any age, but especially as you move past 40.
Thank you krishashok!! And good questions too exactly what I wanted!!
Loved this podcast!! Its gold!!
Had a wonderful time listening to this podcast. So informative! Thank you 😊
Also liked that you have discussed organic food. I got to know about organic vegetables but really want to know about organic poultry and meat products. I have a huge concern about it.
Wow this host is very calm and a good listener......
Very nice to hear.....
I love her voice like anything omg 😭😭
So useful info! Covered all “trending” questions
Excellent explained. Very Imp topic. 😊😊
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Thank you!
He always makes a lot of sense.... ✌️😎👍
Great episode. Many food fears running around the internet were discussed. Thanks 😊
Thank you!
Thank you! ❤️
Thank you! ❤️
Great episode once again! Loved watching him go flawlessly. Sometimes, when he answers, it's hard to trace back to the question :) , but that's part of the charm! 😊 Totally convinced now that it’s okay for my food pyramid to be a trapezoid sometimes-as long as I can swing back to the pyramid.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻❤️
When I was 20 years old, I used to eat a lot of generally home cooked foods only. Everything got digested because I got at least a couple of hours of outdoor sports activities. As I aged, my sports activities got declined and I gradually ate less and less. Out door foods were just occasional and I used to cook myself when I was alone. Now, I am 74 and have a drastically reduced diet and eat all the same things I used to in spite of being a diabetic and a patient of heart disease. I eat icecreams, have cold drinks and sweetmeats occasionally and smoke (just ignoring all advice). I maintain a fairly good health (taking medicines and vitamin supplements) walking three kilometres almost daily and take light exercises. Fast foods, fried foods and anything in moderate quantities taken occasionally doesn't have any adverse effect. But, as Krishashok says, depends on person to person.
Such an eye opening episode about food history!!
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Thank you!
Eye opening or eye closing 😂
Very nice discussion..Loved the speaker.so well researched. And karishma at her best always.. keep it going .
answer me this what happens to male chicks in egg industry? They are killed in the first day of their life. What happens to the male dairy cows . They are killed or abandoned. There is no place of animal derived foods. We can live and thrive on plants+ Vitamin D + supplmental B12.
Great guest. Very enlightening.
I have read during pregnancy that dairy and meat shouldn't be mixed since it slows the absorption of iron from the meat
Please tell us in the US about these carnivore only diet doctors ( actual MDs!!) saying vegetable fruit grain are alllllll bad and only beef and poultry fish eggs pork all meat is healthy
One Small thing. Krish said North and West India have vast fertile plains to cultivate Vegetables. Partly true. West Bengal also has the same fertile land. Please check the Vegetable production statistics (and Rice) West Bengal is among the top 3. However an overwhelming percentage of West Bengal people are indeed Non Vegetarians as he himself said. I believe it is hard core Manuvad Brahmanism that drives vegetarianism in North and West not the land fertility.
This was such a welcome content when we are all bombarded with toooo many don't s about what to eat. Iam sure most of us dont have the mental previlege to eat atleast 1 meal a day happily, without guilt . When we decide our diet based on one nutrition specialist, there comes the other saying what all we had decided for our plate are bad😮. This is endless and purely capitaluzes human fear. Theyve created a large consumer market to propogate the so called diet conscious communities ; and whoever does not conform are termed unhealthy eaters. Ive ditched everything now, and i just keep guard on my portions, try not to repeat the same thing everyday and eat without guilt. Like having a mix of carbs, curries, chutneys, meat and salads. Recent i saw an influencer who said idly was the worst food as it spiked sugar levels😮. Generations of south indians have been having it for breakfast. I mean, how can one generalize food so thoughtlessly? What works for me may not work for another. Its just making money exploiting the fear of people.
I believe idly is amongst the healthiest foods. However, it really does give a big glucose spike. I have seen it recently with a family member, monitoring postprandial glucose level. But the thing is it will produce this spike in preidiabetic or diabetic individuals, not in normal individuals.
I guess even for the prediabetics/diabetics, things would be under control, if you had 1-2 idlies with chutney/sambar on the side. If you however, plan to gorge on only multiple idlies (i.e. idlies way more than accompaniments) then you would be in trouble.
As for the generations of South Indians having idly as staple, the lifestyle of an average person today is very different from that of the ‘generations’. Hence, modifications would be necessary imo.
I follow his channel and he’s really excellent!
Well Done Krish absolute knowledge no crap
What a refreshing episode… so well explained!
Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️
Such an informative & unbiased podcast but it only has 88k views so far😢😢... looks like Indians are more interested in Allien's theory, Yeti, Vimaana Sastra & other conspiracy theories.. Thats why channel like TRS is so popular & also getting creator's award 😂😂.... Desh sankat me hai
Unfortunately true..

Curiosity question...I dont have iron
deficiency at all and I am a vegetarian south indian..I dont eat so much spinach also ..how is my body managing iron
Hi Krish,
I have a genuine question 🙋🏻♀️
I’m big on meal preps to help ease the stress of chopping veggies before cooking.
You reckon cut veggies stored in glass boxes with some water lose nutrients? Or are we just paranoid here? 🥺
Dont stress out on these, you are still cooking homecooked food. Even if we are losing small bit of nutrients, which im not really sure, it is still fine, better than cooked n refrigerated food/outside food. You are doing your best, be confident you are doing good 👍🏼
I'm form SharavanBelagola*(which is a holiest place for Jainism) Taluk, Hassan District of Karnataka, which is in southern part of India, with all due respect, Krishasok* sir please do loots of homework before talking about something. Krishasok* in many topics that you discuss in this podcost, your knowledge is substandard (sorry to say this) study well befor going to any postcast like this.
Well, brother! I agree with most of your points, but I'm truly shocked that you don't see any problem with hydrogenated vegetable oils. Even if we overlook the hydrogenation process, decoloring, and deodorizing, the high Omega-6 content still creates a severe imbalance with Omega-3 in our bodies. You also mentioned that people in the past had shorter lifespans, which prevented them from developing Type-2 diabetes. However, we now see even children developing diabetes. Isn't this due to the increased consumption of carbs, hydrogenated oils, and processed foods?
For many of the other points, you have oversimplified things to an undesirable extent. I am sure you will look into this matter with the current researches being carried out most of which are available online.
Yet, I appreciate your effort to debunk lots of taboos and the way you have enlightened me to think simply and not get trapped by the "so-called" social media experts.
Thanks anyway.
Tq v m Mr. Ashok, learned a lot from it.
Traditional knowledge must be protected and preserved - couldn't agree more
Is that what u got from this interview? Woah

We need to think how to educate the satvik movement audience. Already they mistrust anyone who says anything against Ayurvedic practices.

Thank you! ❤️
Sooo true.....kind feel awkward when i see Vegitarian food, seperated like that. In Kerala, nobody bother to say it , so whoever likes food can have it, those with maybe religious preference could select Veg
Cows were revered as sacred in both southern and northern India at the start of the Śramaṇa movement around 2,700 years ago. The importance of cows only declined due to colonization, Islamic influence in the north, and migration to the Gulf in southern India. King Manuneethi Cholan of the Chola dynasty even executed his own son for killing a cow.You should also look into early documents on Kerala by European travelers. A French traveler noted a striking aspect of local culinary practices, stating: "The Pulayas, considered the poorest class in Malabar, led a life of extreme poverty, often surviving on scraps and leftovers. But despite this, they refused to eat cows" (source: Histoire universelle, depuis le commencement du monde).Even today, there’s a tribe in Munnar, I believe in Marayoor, that still refuses to eat cow meat. Violating this taboo can get you banned from their community.
@@Kalki0025 Have the thought gone through you head it could be much simpler reason than sacred?!
Diary products being source of much of population and their earning, couldnt be possible they just felt need to have such a rule in place during those times of proverty! Cows being the most common and most milk providing domesticated animal, simply became a focus.
It amazing sometimes how things become holy just because some practises are observed. Really Holy cow!!!
@@shesonjose9247 Cows are not only a religious matter in India; they are also culturally accepted and sentimental. They have lived as family members for the last 8,000 years. Even early children bond with them from childhood. Their dung is used to build houses.
The cow is a symbol of wealth, strength, abundance, and selfless giving. In Indian culture, the cow is treated with utmost sanctity because it is seen as a life nourisher. Also, wives and mothers see the cow as akin to a child or companion. After their husbands' children go to work, the cow is often the only thing they talk to during their tiresome household chores. For grandmothers, the cow is like a grandchild they rarely see. That's why, in Kerala in old times, cows were given names similar to granddaughters or daughters, like Lakshmikutty, Karthu, and Amminikutty.
Showing love for cows is a cultural tradition of the subcontinent because cows provide us with milk as an alternative to a mother’s milk, and we grow up drinking that milk. The bull helps the father with cultivation in the fields. Indian society has been dependent on cows since ancient times, which is why Hindus honor them.
There is also a divine aspect: in Tirupati, which has temples thousands of years old, milk is obtained from a very specific cow. In Kerala, any available milk was traditionally offered to nearby temples for pooja and naivedyam (holy food). That’s why Palpayasam is often the most common holy food in temples, regarded as a symbol of the divine. Most scientific research finds that cows are as intelligent as dogs. They are excellent problem solvers, remember faces, get excited when they solve intellectual problems, and can understand emotions.
Vegetarianism in India is partly due to the belief in reincarnation. Some people avoid meat because they believe they might be eating the reincarnated forms of friends or family. This belief comes more from Jainism and Buddhism than Hinduism.
India also follows an Ayurvedic diet, which has been around for over 3,000 years. It divides food into three categories: Sattvic (pure and healthy), Rajasic (stimulating), and Tamasic (unhealthy). Meat is considered Tamasic and is avoided by many.
What an episode!👏🏻👏🏻
❤️❤️
Great episode! I just hope someone would made a similar video about the beauty industry.
Brilliant conversation.
Absolutely loved this episode! ❤
❤️❤️❤️
This video is like "raja rasoi aur anya kahaniyaan" on an adrenaline. For the engineer in me and someone who loves watching history of food, this was an extreme pleasure.
What he said abt sugar is very correct..
37:55 Krish on fire 🔥 🔥
Well I think she got offended when Krish said 70% of population is regular eating(veg n non veg) but for the 30% minority we do lot of segregation..
Ofcourse. It is the same country that stamps halal
On every shit to cater to a 10% minority 😡
Everything is ok In moderation.
This is not going to work may be for practicality for people not having food on their plate and masses,
But if you cook from refund, which uses chemicals to bleach or seed oil which are processed etc. if you can afford use kachi ghani or cold pressed or good quality ghee. If you know a vegetable is spreaded with pesticides and soil health is compromised. Try to grow your own or look for organic. No need to ingest sugar in your tea if you can avoid. The sugar you can get from potato or rice you eat.
Hi please provide timestamps , thank you
This guy is lit bro! Ameero ki shehzadi Karishma ma'am, God bless. Would love to come and debunk coffee theories on your podcast.
Wow...always wanted him to come here
I wanted t know his take on vegans... and do they really get enough of all nutrients n proteins as they claim they do.
At one end he says local trends and tradition follow your grand ma a tips. And other hand he recommends coffee it’s a very alien thing for North Indians. It’s brought by French Dutch and due to climate familiarity and he wants to apply this logic to general masses. For a hit north indian climate a butter milk and chas is what she recommended not 4 cups of coffee. So very contradictory of him saying don’t fall for influencers and tries to influence the mass.
Agree
These are two separate things.
He meant if the influencer is saying don't eat curd + onion don't listen, but if your grandmom says, maybe she is saying from experience that your family members may have issues with this combo. That combo isn't universal.
But he didn't say don't eat anything not local to you. Try new things. Some people can't drink coffee without getting sick even in south india. They should avoid it but large amount of people are ok with it. The point is coffee is universally ok to drink, but if you are exception, don't. Just don't open a youtube channel telling everyone not drink coffee.
It would be best if there is another word for "sugar" to know if its 'sugar from plants' and 'artificial sugar'.
Thank you
❤️❤️
❤🌹🙏
Amazing insights!!
Thanks for watching! ❤️
I really like the podcast, but does he apply the same principles to Western medicine that apply the broadest level of generalization possible? The basic concept is that most bodies work a certain way and there are a general sense of best practices that may work. Love his point on hyperlocal.
At 00:50 I became a new person today with this discovery
Need of the hour ❤❤

I want to know about the food enhancer MSG etc is it good for us
