  • “Social media influencers telling you that a certain Ayurvedic principle is universally applicable for everyone is simply untrue. They have no idea about your genetics, what is traditional to you and hence they are not qualified to suggest what is good or bad for you. There is a sense of arrogance in assuming that it is universal advice.”
    Krish Ashok, also known by his moniker Masala Labs, is the internet's favorite food scientist. He’s a best-selling author & culinary guide to hundreds of thousands online for his unique take on gastronomy, joining us today to take you on a journey of each ingredient from farm to fork.
    Masala Labs delves into the intricacies of food science, breaking down your grandmother’s favorite recipes through the lens of science backed by years of research. We deep dive into the role of genetics in finding the correct diet for you, the truth behind internet food fads and the need for evolution of ayurvedic principles for modern life.
    Find out why so many Indians suffer from iron deficiencies, the link between vitamin D and skin tone and what an ideal plate should look like. Masala Labs shares pragmatic tips and tricks, simplifies food science & educates you on how to distinguish between what’s good and bad for your body.
    We talked about:
    . What is the correct attitude to have towards food?
    . The components of an ideal plate
    . The role of micronutrients
    . Why is Vitamin D important?
    . Why are detox juices a waste of time
    . The meaning of Satvik food in the modern world
    . Why Ayurveda can’t be generalized
    . The connection between food and your identity
    . Hindu diet practices
    . The lie all the fat diets
    . Is gluten free really a thing?
    . Brown bread vs white bread

    . Best food practices in childhood
    . Why is immunity boosting a scam
    . The effect of addictives in packaged food

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 .

    *DO's*
    05:00 Enjoy your food without fear. Focus on balance and moderation-include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and micronutrients in your diet.
    10:00 Follow a balanced plate with equal parts vegetables, protein, starch, and carbohydrates. Understand your specific nutrient needs, such as vitamin D and iron.
    15:00 Be mindful of your skin type and sunlight exposure for vitamin D; consider supplements or animal sources for effective absorption.
    30:00 Listen to practical, experience-based advice from elders like your grandmother, rather than blindly following influencers.
    45:00 Focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management for cognitive health rather than relying on miracle foods or excessive supplements.
    01:00:00 Cook your food to maximize nutrient absorption, and consume gluten only if you're not sensitive to it. Moderation is key, even for sugar intake.
    01:15:00 Opt for traditional oils like sesame, coconut, or mustard, and pay attention to overall fat intake rather than demonizing specific oils.
    01:30:00 Choose organic food for better taste, but don't obsess over it. Focus on reducing fat and refined grains for heart health, and exercise regularly.
    01:40:00 Eat protein and fiber before carbohydrates, avoid coffee late in the day, and practice intermittent fasting for better sleep and metabolism.
    *DON'Ts*
    05:00: Don’t fall into the trap of food myths like fridge food being unhealthy or detox diets being necessary for health.
    00:20:00 Don’t limit yourself to rigid categories like satvik or tamasic foods; broaden your approach to include a variety of meals.
    00:30:00 Avoid assuming that certain food combinations are universally harmful-what works for one culture may not apply to another.
    00:55:00 Don’t rely on extreme diets like keto or raw diets without considering your personal health needs or cultural context.
    01:00:00 Don’t over-rely on sugar substitutes or gluten-free products unless you have medical reasons to do so.
    01:20:00 Don’t be overly concerned about preservatives in processed foods; the real issue is the overconsumption of refined flour, sugar, and salt.
    01:35:00 Don’t fall for marketing scams like "immunity-boosting" foods or drinks. Focus on vaccines and maintaining a balanced diet instead.

    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.)

    @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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @padmaramakrishnan6729

      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.

    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.

      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.

      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!!!

    • @Kalki0025
      @Kalki0025 2 місяці тому

      @@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.

      @v.rajasekar5044 4 місяці тому +2

      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.
