Eating less is EXTREMELY UNDERRATED. We have an abundance of food. Overeating is too easy. In fact, it's nearly unavoidable. It takes effort to eat less. This is key. What is missing then? DISCIPLINE.
You're right! Having control on quantity is essential and portion size does matter. I wonder 95% population eating extra, surprisingly they have superpower or higher metabolism. However, it might change as age increases.

Where is the enough data to disgrace traditional food system( for example cooking slowly, & eating freshly cooked food for 3 times a day), is there any publicly available data !!? In India these food manufacturer companies went really heartless, Yesterday I was reading a ketchup company package, instead of using asterisk sign they added tomato symbol in it. & the label is Fresh ketchup, If you read the * it reads as “package label doesn’t represent the true nature of product” wtf. I trust my naani cooked meal more than these capitalists hungry people, till we get publicly available data.

I have heard from doctors and health professionals when there is discomfort in stomach with some food it means that the food is not digest well because bad bacteria has more than good 46:42
The concept of satvic rajsic and tamsic is not based on what is good for your body, but what is good for your soul. The belief is that when you eat an animal, you take on the soul of that animal along with its karma in you. That damages your soul. Plants has least karma so they were satvic. They were least bothered about what was good for your body, because they knew that you are not your body!
@viralamsushmitha9576 “Brutal truth every Indian should watch 😊” ==================== Yes, I agree. Already in the comments section there are burnol-needing -Indians- Bharatiyans-most probably bogus-patriotic Hindutvaists-trying to defend the indefensible, trying to pretend that ‘traditional’ Indian cuisine has no shortcomings, no flaws in it.
Guava is the best fruit. Period. I have tasted it and like it a lot. In US, Guava is costly (and available In a very few cities only like San Diego, CA etc.) … not because it’s recognized as a super fruit and everyone wants to buy it, but because it is exported from Mexico and is available only in limited quantities. I wish US recognizes this fruit and is made available in all states.
I'm doing keto with indian foods as part of that. I'm non veg, so it's easy with chicken, lamb, eggs, and fish. But I use India veggies, bendi, karelia, etc, Indian spices, yoghurt, paneer. All that is fine. I think the issue is what indians used to cook with was ghee, coconut oil and cold pressed oils eg mustard. Now the 'white' oil which is seed oil bleached and high in omgea 6 and inflammatory is the norm now as its cheap. That is dring heart disease. Along with over consumption of carbs, ppl eat way too much rice and way too much roti and less protein and veg. He is wrong about soy and whey, it's absolutely crap industrial waste, eat real protein from eggs and animals. He is wrong about fear of appliances, ppl in india are in a hot country, reheating food is a high risk of stomach problems and infections, microwaves also don't heat as well as a flame so are linked to food poisoning. If you want to eat well, you have to adjust to the country. Btw I'm in the UK where it is cold so it's fine to reheat, when I go to India I eat only fresh
Another thing to mention is that you can get valid proper health guides in RUclips and advise from people like Santa Cruz medicinals ( old videos not the new ones ) and Paul saladino
Why eat packaged processed food with additives at all . In whatever form , it’s not needed . Adjust your lifestyle for this most basic human need called food. Even the labourer eats fresh food so I don’t understand why the more privileged working class cant ! Krish has a lot of valid points , this is not one of them . Loved his book btw.
satvic vegetarianism (important to understand concept of gunas), using proper cooking techniques like ayurvedic, avoiding over-eating, using matching ingredients & spices which aid digestion, absorption & elimination, eating in a proper mental state & at proper regular timings, avoiding food after sunset, avoiding regular snacking between meals, avoiding synthetic additives, having light meals on new & full moon days all help to have a sound health. also regular panchakarma treatments to balance doshas are all wonderful natural yogic & ayurvedic remedies. eating for enjoyment is sin. no need to obsess over food that much.
My favorite guest. If i were to sum it up what he has to say in two words - ‘common sense’ with vast knowledge he has and brings the balanced view from it. Thank you. 🫶🏽
@vidyashastry6335 “That’s the whole [...] No war, no soldier...” =================== The whole notion that food promotes so-called psychological (and physiological) tendencies of sattva, rajasa, and tamasa in human beings is a claim.that has NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE to support it.
@Krish Ashok, it’s not just about Indians but the whole whole in general. How do you think so many diets came in to place, Keto, paleo, Atkinson etc. I do not think you have to generalize Indian in front of foreigners by making us superstitious or still hanging with ancient beliefs.
Music is awful in intro Dr Fung Dr Lustig and Dr Pal are good sources of accurate scientific information about sugar starch and processed foods and very very successful at getting diabetes reversed .
Alll our old institutions are gone. All our active ones are new. That is how Social Media influencers are able to freely misinterpret ancient teachings like Ayurveda, spread false information, and give our Ancient sources of wisdom a bad name. It is only recently that Ayurveda is being linked and calibrated to hyperlocal traditions of each community.
1. Eat less and stay healthy who is doing non physical work 2. Decrease outside food and eat home cooked food ( even fast food) . You don't even know 1% how top hotels will cheat to get profits. Govt will never do raids on all 3. We need to balance the diet but 150 crores cannot have 40-50 rs to invest in their meal 4. All are worrying about food , what about water we are using to cook 😑😑. Don't think that packaged water is very good, only ground water is good but in cities we cannot get 😑 4. If you don't want good health in your 35-55 years , you can ignore my points and these video as well 😐
2 mins into the video and i already disagree. There is a tendency among experts to generalize health related issues for 1.5B ppl. Just weird. Diabetes is common in India mainly because of sedentary lifestyle. Surely healthy food choices need to be made, but our food choices arent same even in an area of say 100 kms. Food in villages are soo much diff from that in cities where life is very fast paced. Then coupled with sedentary lifestyle wreaks havoc. So diabetes in the urban population is mainly because of lack of exercise. One last thing- I've lived in India for 30 yrs, and NEVER came across a family/individual who wud only consider protein less food as "traditional" 🙄 and wudnt want to change. Traditional Indian vegetarian diet, at least in North and North West India includes lots of yogurt and milk and apart from that beans, legumes , grains and tonnes of veggies.
Totally agree! I am Indian but living in the US and know that the protein quantities eaten here in the US leads to deposits of Uric acid in the knees, and all the knee replacement surgeries!! So protein damage is real. Cooking tools like microwave and air fryers are not good! Microwave kills the living energy in food, and leads to cancer. Air fryers are also much of the time made with materials that leach into the food (aluminum!) and crosses the blood brain barrier and is implicated in dementia and Alzheimer’s. Soya is bad because much of it in the world is GMO. Plus it causes oestrogen dominance.
@@rajeshwari1209what is ‘living energy’ in plants? Your notions are just not backed by science. You are the exact kind of person who is spreading misinformation !
It is a fact that average Indian diet is protein deficient. Maybe you know only upper middle class people. Indian has a huge population that don’t eat enough of any of the stuff you mentioned
Funny. Because my Indian family living in India is the exact one to demonize protein. Hell, my family has a history of diabetes despite being an agricultural family that lived in a village until my dad's generation. You know the cause of diabetes in my family? Our traditional meal had a whole bowl of rice, a small cup of sambar and curd, half a cup of veggies and no egg or meat or any other plant based protein. Till this day, my mom and my aunts refuse to eat egg, eat twice as much rice as sambar when it should be the other way round, and eat Indian sweets everyday because they think they are 'healthy' cause they are made at home and are traditional. My entire community is like that, hence the high levels of diabetes and obesity... It's the Reddy community of South India by the way
@@rajeshwari1209By your logic, gas stoves and firewood stoves are also not good because they remove the living energy even more. I think it's best you eat all your food raw to make the most of living energy in the parasites and microorganisms living in your food
Violence and resultant emotional and physical pain and trauma is real and perceivable with animals compared to plants (which we can't really empathize with as much). Forget about the soul and spirituality. I think, the perceivable suffering of animals is a decent enough cause for many to stay from meat. Also, there is another and more appealing aspect to the classification which is often under rated. Satvic food is supposed to be everything that creates least amount of friction for someone who is on the path of renunciation - someone who wants least engagement with sensory pleasures. Rajasic food is supposed to help someone who wants to go and get something materially big in life - could be intellectual or physical. So foods that help with a bit of strength, excitement, aggression but also help in endurance, health and focus etc.. Tamasic is supposedly for mostly sense pleasure - for enjoyment. Onion and garlic are very healthy, but also are supposed to increase a bit of sex drive. I personally see merit in this kind of a classification. We eat all 3 types of foods on a daily basis. If we have this knowledge and awareness, we can design a customized mix of these 3 types of foods that suits our needs and wants. We can become more aware of how the food is impacting our psyche, not just physiology.
people should give importance to food . fresh and live food for even poor or rich is good. food labelling is also a great concern , may be he can cover this topic aswell . He can just focus on what he wants to say but not too much on social media or what others say.
I eat chips , fries , candies , ice cream , etc every day in moderation. How is it called moderation? As a whole you end up eating BS everyday . This moderation concept doesn’t make any sense 🙏
Public should stop taking these influencers seriously and eat in moderation what your body say and visit a doctor when you fall sick.Thses influencers are here only to confuse the public with whatever stuff they get on the information superhighway😅
Glutamine is a naturally occurring amino acid both in humans and food. But can't be synthesised. Hence MSG. Not dangerous in small amounts. A pinch in cooking a dish isn't going to do any harm. Obviously don't eat pinches of it directly.
@lovereachable as in nothing originated in Bharatam. Specifically all food loved a tam brahm food came from somewhere else. Like the paruppu kolambu my patti made or the soft idlis she steamed on banana leaves or the thengaj thuval
we Indians don't have muscles like most western countries. We don't have the enzymes that can digest certain food unlike the European counterparts. I don't believe in such combination either . veggies in every meal or with protein in every meal. most Indian families around the world cook 3 times fresh meals. Instead giving importance to eating more veggies/ protein/complex carbs...being active- any sports we enjoy/ going on hikes, running or atleast a gym/ lifting weights. Enjoying these snacks occasionally is ok.
Perhaps, Krish should look further at the research based dietary recommendations that guided a whole population into grossly unhealthy pervasive metabolic syndrome - processed foods/ sugar laden drinks, cococola, Pepsi etc./unhealthy fast food are to blame-- best to not generalize about information that one has only partial information
This would make sense if Krish Asok has figured out the real cause of diabetes and autoimmune dysfunction. But has he really? He must have figured out the effect of microplastics, ,PFOA and other chemicals, fully understood the effect of chemical synergy in food. He must understand everything there is about what quantities of food are safe and what is unsafe. Valuation of food in simplistic terms of calories, fats, protein is just that, simplistic.
Please follow Dr Boz, Dr Westman and Dr Berg for this. Completely reversed diabetes, got off all diabetes, cholesterol and depression meds and lost a ton of weight. Diabetes is carbohydrate toxicity and when you eat it in any form, it just kills you from inside. But most doctors won't tell you to go off carbohydrates because that'll mean you'll get better and have no need for them. Big pharma drives this by asking diabetics to consume grains and/or any form of carbs.
He is mixing few facts with some of his prejudice.. Ie indian are eating too much food or too much calories then needed, it is true Where as process food not that bad, or having vegitable without pestiside and fertilizer , it is more expensive, though is desirable, it is process we need go towrds, those who are capable need to follow it Lot of ancient practice are really good, wheat was not part ancient culture, it was introduced recent 300 yrs, we did not eat fried food in quantity we eat today.. Not far from today my grand mom using more bajara, jawar, kodri, other millet, etc more than rice and wheat, now days mostly whet and rice.. Those who follow traditional live lot more helthier life, 2 or 3 amala , some leaves of moringa, and some green s, every day keep you healty amd energaric.. MSG is no good, it os addictive similar to sugar, and you will eat more than you need.. In way he marketing subtly for processed food, (red flag ). msg comming for natural source amd unprocessed in small qty, it might be good though not used by most of processed food
Reason I like Krish Ashok is most of the things I learn from Liver doctor in twitter is explained in detail by Krish, like refrigerated rice will cut down sugar spike, turmeric supplement is harmful for liver, etc.. Liver doctor usually advice these things based on well researched and proven by science. So I can trust Krish views/advice are proven by scientific research.
I feel sad about the guest. He has no idea about the food. He reminds me of myself few months ago until I felt sick, found myself in ER and eventually Ayurveda saved me.
No. ER at Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto, Bay Area. The entire team of gastroenterologists had no idea what was happening with my digestion system. By luck, someone referred to me to an Ayurvedic MD doctor in Bay Area and he saved my life.
Eventhough I agree with lot of logic by Mr. Krish ji, I find his statement that we didn't have scientific Institutions or practices as highly debatable. We did have Institutions before the Mughals and Europeans , other wise how do you think India was the the biggest Ship building Nation or with one of the best metallurgy based Industry, advanced Surgical procedures, vaccination based cure, and so much detail of food and ayurveda . It's good to quote some scientific studies however some of scientific studies are only done for a specific aspect of food and hence sometimes I don't find them completely reliable.
We Indians never get tired or bored of trumpeting past glories, despite having no meaningful inventions or discoveries in last 1000 years. Ofcourse we have scapegoats like Mughals and Britishers to blame, but we fail to look at China. Let’s accept the fact that we are malnourished unhealthy nation that eats too much carbs and sweets.
We did not have scientific institutions thousands of years ago, no one in the world had. We cannot compare the rudimentary scientific advancements of the ancient world with modern science. We can admire that they were able to achieve what they did, but that is all.
I agree with us having old institutions, but they aren't active. Our institutions are only being rebuilt now. A lot of our recorded knowledge is still missing or lacks proper interpretation

I have heard other podcasts of Krish Ashok. This one is the most interesting so far.
That's bcoz some sh t he said was not Confronted by Mute Anchor or he Lacked the Intelligence to counter Question him😂
@@truthprevails8974can you please elaborate more on your statement?
I have heard from doctors and health professionals when there is discomfort in stomach with some food it means that the food is not digest well because bad bacteria has more than good 46:42
Very well explained Sir
I have not seen/ listened to a more pleasant host!
Fantastic interview
The concept of satvic rajsic and tamsic is not based on what is good for your body, but what is good for your soul. The belief is that when you eat an animal, you take on the soul of that animal along with its karma in you. That damages your soul. Plants has least karma so they were satvic. They were least bothered about what was good for your body, because they knew that you are not your body!

Krish is an inspiring person with so many inisghts. We also loved this episode.

“Brutal truth every Indian should watch 😊”
====================
Yes, I agree.
Already in the comments section there are burnol-needing -Indians- Bharatiyans-most probably bogus-patriotic Hindutvaists-trying to defend the indefensible, trying to pretend that ‘traditional’ Indian cuisine has no shortcomings, no flaws in it.
Not so BRUTAL ....😂

Guava is the best fruit. Period. I have tasted it and like it a lot. In US, Guava is costly (and available In a very few cities only like San Diego, CA etc.) … not because it’s recognized as a super fruit and everyone wants to buy it, but because it is exported from Mexico and is available only in limited quantities. I wish US recognizes this fruit and is made available in all states.
Very good information.....
This was a brilliant episode!
Indian cooking and food is the best in the world in context to nutrition and ways of cooking....no question about it.
💯
I'm doing keto with indian foods as part of that.
I'm non veg, so it's easy with chicken, lamb, eggs, and fish. But I use India veggies, bendi, karelia, etc, Indian spices, yoghurt, paneer. All that is fine.
I think the issue is what indians used to cook with was ghee, coconut oil and cold pressed oils eg mustard.
Now the 'white' oil which is seed oil bleached and high in omgea 6 and inflammatory is the norm now as its cheap. That is dring heart disease. Along with over consumption of carbs, ppl eat way too much rice and way too much roti and less protein and veg.
He is wrong about soy and whey, it's absolutely crap industrial waste, eat real protein from eggs and animals.
He is wrong about fear of appliances, ppl in india are in a hot country, reheating food is a high risk of stomach problems and infections, microwaves also don't heat as well as a flame so are linked to food poisoning. If you want to eat well, you have to adjust to the country. Btw I'm in the UK where it is cold so it's fine to reheat, when I go to India I eat only fresh
Most informative 👏👏👏
Another thing to mention is that you can get valid proper health guides in RUclips and advise from people like Santa Cruz medicinals ( old videos not the new ones ) and Paul saladino
Why eat packaged processed food with additives at all . In whatever form , it’s not needed . Adjust your lifestyle for this most basic human need called food. Even the labourer eats fresh food so I don’t understand why the more privileged working class cant ! Krish has a lot of valid points , this is not one of them . Loved his book btw.
satvic vegetarianism (important to understand concept of gunas), using proper cooking techniques like ayurvedic, avoiding over-eating, using matching ingredients & spices which aid digestion, absorption & elimination, eating in a proper mental state & at proper regular timings, avoiding food after sunset, avoiding regular snacking between meals, avoiding synthetic additives, having light meals on new & full moon days all help to have a sound health. also regular panchakarma treatments to balance doshas are all wonderful natural yogic & ayurvedic remedies. eating for enjoyment is sin. no need to obsess over food that much.
What ever he says is scientific and if you read his book he has explained the chemistry behind cooking.
Totally! His book is a game-changer for anyone who loves to cook and wants to get a little nerdy in the kitchen!
EXCELLENT EPISODE!!
TY!!
Hi sir...is it safe to store vegetables in plastic cover and in container in refrigerator..
My favorite guest. If i were to sum it up what he has to say in two words - ‘common sense’ with vast knowledge he has and brings the balanced view from it. Thank you. 🫶🏽
Satvik food is for those on path of spiritual... You can't feed army satvik diet 😂. They will meditate on battlefield 😅
That’s the whole point of satvic! No rage, no enmity. Only compassion and universal love. No war, no soldier...
@vidyashastry6335 beautiful in principle, but practical only when everyone around u practices the same.
@vidyashastry6335
“That’s the whole [...] No war, no soldier...”
===================
The whole notion that food promotes so-called psychological (and physiological) tendencies of
sattva, rajasa, and tamasa in human beings is a claim.that has NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE to support it.
@Krish Ashok, it’s not just about Indians but the whole whole in general. How do you think so many diets came in to place, Keto, paleo, Atkinson etc. I do not think you have to generalize Indian in front of foreigners by making us superstitious or still hanging with ancient beliefs.
Music is awful in intro
Dr Fung Dr Lustig and Dr Pal are good sources of accurate scientific information about sugar starch and processed foods and very very successful at getting diabetes reversed .
They sprinkle some pseudoscience as garnish
Doctors are really the last people anyone shld rely on for nutritional advise.
Mr. India had the earliest universities.
Trust the system, not the influencers.
This is an amazing insight! Many guests have shared this. Thank you so much for sharing.
Where was his mind when he said we did not have institutions old enough and references to 1947
Alll our old institutions are gone. All our active ones are new. That is how Social Media influencers are able to freely misinterpret ancient teachings like Ayurveda, spread false information, and give our Ancient sources of wisdom a bad name. It is only recently that Ayurveda is being linked and calibrated to hyperlocal traditions of each community.
1. Eat less and stay healthy who is doing non physical work
2. Decrease outside food and eat home cooked food ( even fast food) . You don't even know 1% how top hotels will cheat to get profits. Govt will never do raids on all
3. We need to balance the diet but 150 crores cannot have 40-50 rs to invest in their meal
4. All are worrying about food , what about water we are using to cook 😑😑. Don't think that packaged water is very good, only ground water is good but in cities we cannot get 😑
4. If you don't want good health in your 35-55 years , you can ignore my points and these video as well 😐
Strawman fallacy
I think eating less is very underrated. We have an abundance of food. Overeating is too easy. This is key.
I don’t agree with all the views
2 mins into the video and i already disagree. There is a tendency among experts to generalize health related issues for 1.5B ppl. Just weird. Diabetes is common in India mainly because of sedentary lifestyle. Surely healthy food choices need to be made, but our food choices arent same even in an area of say 100 kms. Food in villages are soo much diff from that in cities where life is very fast paced. Then coupled with sedentary lifestyle wreaks havoc. So diabetes in the urban population is mainly because of lack of exercise. One last thing- I've lived in India for 30 yrs, and NEVER came across a family/individual who wud only consider protein less food as "traditional" 🙄 and wudnt want to change. Traditional Indian vegetarian diet, at least in North and North West India includes lots of yogurt and milk and apart from that beans, legumes , grains and tonnes of veggies.
Totally agree! I am Indian but living in the US and know that the protein quantities eaten here in the US leads to deposits of Uric acid in the knees, and all the knee replacement surgeries!! So protein damage is real.
Cooking tools like microwave and air fryers are not good! Microwave kills the living energy in food, and leads to cancer. Air fryers are also much of the time made with materials that leach into the food (aluminum!) and crosses the blood brain barrier and is implicated in dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Soya is bad because much of it in the world is GMO. Plus it causes oestrogen dominance.
@@rajeshwari1209what is ‘living energy’ in plants? Your notions are just not backed by science. You are the exact kind of person who is spreading misinformation !
It is a fact that average Indian diet is protein deficient. Maybe you know only upper middle class people. Indian has a huge population that don’t eat enough of any of the stuff you mentioned
Funny. Because my Indian family living in India is the exact one to demonize protein. Hell, my family has a history of diabetes despite being an agricultural family that lived in a village until my dad's generation. You know the cause of diabetes in my family? Our traditional meal had a whole bowl of rice, a small cup of sambar and curd, half a cup of veggies and no egg or meat or any other plant based protein. Till this day, my mom and my aunts refuse to eat egg, eat twice as much rice as sambar when it should be the other way round, and eat Indian sweets everyday because they think they are 'healthy' cause they are made at home and are traditional.
My entire community is like that, hence the high levels of diabetes and obesity... It's the Reddy community of South India by the way
@@rajeshwari1209By your logic, gas stoves and firewood stoves are also not good because they remove the living energy even more. I think it's best you eat all your food raw to make the most of living energy in the parasites and microorganisms living in your food
Violence and resultant emotional and physical pain and trauma is real and perceivable with animals compared to plants (which we can't really empathize with as much). Forget about the soul and spirituality. I think, the perceivable suffering of animals is a decent enough cause for many to stay from meat.
Also, there is another and more appealing aspect to the classification which is often under rated. Satvic food is supposed to be everything that creates least amount of friction for someone who is on the path of renunciation - someone who wants least engagement with sensory pleasures. Rajasic food is supposed to help someone who wants to go and get something materially big in life - could be intellectual or physical. So foods that help with a bit of strength, excitement, aggression but also help in endurance, health and focus etc.. Tamasic is supposedly for mostly sense pleasure - for enjoyment. Onion and garlic are very healthy, but also are supposed to increase a bit of sex drive. I personally see merit in this kind of a classification.
We eat all 3 types of foods on a daily basis. If we have this knowledge and awareness, we can design a customized mix of these 3 types of foods that suits our needs and wants. We can become more aware of how the food is impacting our psyche, not just physiology.
people should give importance to food . fresh and live food for even poor or rich is good. food labelling is also a great concern , may be he can cover this topic aswell . He can just focus on what he wants to say but not too much on social media or what others say.
I eat chips , fries , candies , ice cream , etc every day in moderation. How is it called moderation? As a whole you end up eating BS everyday . This moderation concept doesn’t make any sense 🙏
Eating at that frequency is not moderation
Calories in, calories out. What you described in totality is not moderation
Healthy foods in moderation is the key!
Moderation would be more like once a week.
@@Cyber_seakerxexactly. It takes a certain amount (very little) of insight to know that that's definitely not moderation.
Very well explaine Sir
Public should stop taking these influencers seriously and eat in moderation what your body say and visit a doctor when you fall sick.Thses influencers are here only to confuse the public with whatever stuff they get on the information superhighway😅
Sooooo true

Why there a weird booming hum in the background of this video???
It is to cover up the Shallowness in the matter
Glutamine is a naturally occurring amino acid both in humans and food. But can't be synthesised. Hence MSG. Not dangerous in small amounts. A pinch in cooking a dish isn't going to do any harm. Obviously don't eat pinches of it directly.
Krish Ashok is himself a social media influencer. He has a colonized view of indian food. Specifically the south indian brahmin food.
Colonised view of South Indian Brahmin food as in?
@lovereachable as in nothing originated in Bharatam. Specifically all food loved a tam brahm food came from somewhere else. Like the paruppu kolambu my patti made or the soft idlis she steamed on banana leaves or the thengaj thuval

How many times Krish said "Right?".

Hai ki nahi? Sahi baath! Right?!
@@vidyashastry6335right
remove the background noise music.
we Indians don't have muscles like most western countries. We don't have the enzymes that can digest certain food unlike the European counterparts. I don't believe in such combination either . veggies in every meal or with protein in every meal. most Indian families around the world cook 3 times fresh meals. Instead giving importance to eating more veggies/ protein/complex carbs...being active- any sports we enjoy/ going on hikes, running or atleast a gym/ lifting weights. Enjoying these snacks occasionally is ok.
Background music is disturbing, masking the talks..
Perhaps, Krish should look further at the research based dietary recommendations that guided a whole population into grossly unhealthy pervasive metabolic syndrome - processed foods/ sugar laden drinks, cococola, Pepsi etc./unhealthy fast food are to blame-- best to not generalize about information that one has only partial information
Some had to say it..nice one..
Too much loud background score
This would make sense if Krish Asok has figured out the real cause of diabetes and autoimmune dysfunction. But has he really? He must have figured out the effect of microplastics, ,PFOA and other chemicals, fully understood the effect of chemical synergy in food. He must understand everything there is about what quantities of food are safe and what is unsafe. Valuation of food in simplistic terms of calories, fats, protein is just that, simplistic.
So India being diabetes capital despite eating less ultra processed food than the west makes you infer what?
Please follow Dr Boz, Dr Westman and Dr Berg for this. Completely reversed diabetes, got off all diabetes, cholesterol and depression meds and lost a ton of weight.
Diabetes is carbohydrate toxicity and when you eat it in any form, it just kills you from inside. But most doctors won't tell you to go off carbohydrates because that'll mean you'll get better and have no need for them. Big pharma drives this by asking diabetics to consume grains and/or any form of carbs.
10:58
I felt host is more mature than the guest
3:16 it's safe to say by hearing krish it seems he's not well versed on seed oils.
Be careful, all things we think we should avoid,but according to him when you go above certain limit than only it is harmful so you can enjoy,
Food is addictive that Krish did not cover in his talk. indians eat food for taste and not for nutrition. Eat less ! is another tip Krish can share!
Everyone can make their own burgers and store 1:56 it for one week without adding preservatives

Am out..for a person who claims to research n bust myth, he is contributing to a myth, he has sooo much difficulty saying mughals/muslims
Ayurveda is based on thousands of years of data… really don’t get your food advice on RUclips… just get the recipes.
He is mixing few facts with some of his prejudice..
Ie indian are eating too much food or too much calories then needed, it is true
Where as process food not that bad, or having vegitable without pestiside and fertilizer , it is more expensive, though is desirable, it is process we need go towrds, those who are capable need to follow it
Lot of ancient practice are really good, wheat was not part ancient culture, it was introduced recent 300 yrs, we did not eat fried food in quantity we eat today..
Not far from today my grand mom using more bajara, jawar, kodri, other millet, etc more than rice and wheat, now days mostly whet and rice..
Those who follow traditional live lot more helthier life, 2 or 3 amala , some leaves of moringa, and some green s, every day keep you healty amd energaric..
MSG is no good, it os addictive similar to sugar, and you will eat more than you need..
In way he marketing subtly for processed food, (red flag ). msg comming for natural source amd unprocessed in small qty, it might be good though not used by most of processed food
Fertilizers have been in use for last 4500 years and they were more toxic in past than they are now.
Don't forget some actual protein along with the fancy millet only diet you eat
Music vrs vocals.. music wins..😢
Reason I like Krish Ashok is most of the things I learn from Liver doctor in twitter is explained in detail by Krish, like refrigerated rice will cut down sugar spike, turmeric supplement is harmful for liver, etc..
Liver doctor usually advice these things based on well researched and proven by science. So I can trust Krish views/advice are proven by scientific research.
I feel sad about the guest. He has no idea about the food. He reminds me of myself few months ago until I felt sick, found myself in ER and eventually Ayurveda saved me.
You're in a cult. Seek help to get free from delusions
ER at a Ayurvedic hospital?
@@chait8569 some actual doctor saved him at the ER, and then he found a quack and thinks it made a difference i bet
No. ER at Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto, Bay Area. The entire team of gastroenterologists had no idea what was happening with my digestion system. By luck, someone referred to me to an Ayurvedic MD doctor in Bay Area and he saved my life.
Get your head examination soon...
I'm a fairly simple person, I see my guy Krish spitting facts, I hit the like button
Eventhough I agree with lot of logic by Mr. Krish ji, I find his statement that we didn't have scientific Institutions or practices as highly debatable. We did have Institutions before the Mughals and Europeans , other wise how do you think India was the the biggest Ship building Nation or with one of the best metallurgy based Industry, advanced Surgical procedures, vaccination based cure, and so much detail of food and ayurveda . It's good to quote some scientific studies however some of scientific studies are only done for a specific aspect of food and hence sometimes I don't find them completely reliable.
We really loved your comment! Thank you for bringing a different perspective to this conversation!
We Indians never get tired or bored of trumpeting past glories, despite having no meaningful inventions or discoveries in last 1000 years. Ofcourse we have scapegoats like Mughals and Britishers to blame, but we fail to look at China. Let’s accept the fact that we are malnourished unhealthy nation that eats too much carbs and sweets.
We did not have scientific institutions thousands of years ago, no one in the world had. We cannot compare the rudimentary scientific advancements of the ancient world with modern science. We can admire that they were able to achieve what they did, but that is all.
I agree with us having old institutions, but they aren't active. Our institutions are only being rebuilt now. A lot of our recorded knowledge is still missing or lacks proper interpretation
