Adopting a healthy diet

As food prices rise and the supply of produce is controlled, we must find a way of eating, mindful of the context and our own privilege.

Building Immunity


  • Your only innate guard is immunity,  and because we have a long way to go, it is best to try and get this strengthened
  • The immunity function lie in the gut, so those who have constipation, acidity, or any other gut malfunction, could strengthen it with vitamins (especially Vit.C) and minerals 
  • Onion, giner, garlic, tulsi, pomegranate, are all anti viral foods that reduce infection. It is safe to put these in the traditional foods we eat
  • Black pepper, asafoetida, and carom are also useful

Cutting Inflammation


  • Internal inflammation makes you susceptible to disease
  • Highly processed foods, and a diet rich in refined oils, high carbohydrates, high protein and simple sugars can cause inflammation. Cut down on sucrose-rich fruits 
  • We need to use this time as an opportunity to eat healthy. Cooking fresh, not ordering in, and buying processed packing food and valuable practices we can take into these days ahead
  • Work with what is at home- cereals, and dals,  brown rice dal. These give macro nutrients and some micro nutrients
  • It is good idea to add ghee or coconut oil and simple spices and herbs to the food for antioxidants
  • If you can set curd at home, nothing can be better than this for beneficial bacteria 

Time To Innovate


  • It is also a time to look around the house and consume all the little bottles of ingredients that we have put on the backshelf. Finish the raw peanuts and leftover nuts and seeds-do soak overnight to get rid of the anti-nutrients

Breathe Easy

                Clearing The Air  The novel coronavirus has brought the world to a halt, but the environment is benefitting in a big way. In an attempt to decrease the rapid spread of COVID-19, economic activity has been hugely limited, resulting in a decline in CO2 emissions, said World Meteorological Department(WMO). WMO said that cuts in emissions dosen't mean that the world must stop its fight against climate change. Countries practising extreme lockdowns, like Italy and China, have seen the biggest decline. The CO2 data shows that the world typically sees an increase in CO2 emissions in the colder months in the Northern Hemisphere. However, this year has been different. “We are noticing an interesting development, as CO2 levels are currently increasing  at a much slower rate than expected”. Though social distancing has been difficult, it has a massively positive impact on CO2 emissions.
