  • Respect to this guy pointing out how fresh food 3X a day effects women health and career. Nobody not even most even women notices this.
  • My mother in law told me to cook fresh breakfast, lunch, and snack fresh everyday while I was recovering from pregnancy and raising a baby. She refused to use refrigerator and microwave. I was stressing physically and mentally. I couldn’t even spend quality time with my baby. I couldn’t sleep at night because baby used to wake up, I had to wake up in the morning to help her make fresh breakfast for everyone, feed my baby, cook again, feed baby, cook again, feed my baby and cook rice again at night. Because rice cooked few hours ago is not fresh enough to eat again. I still cry even today thinking about her treatment. I didn’t even mention all the other household jobs.

    Request to everyone 1.plant big trees 2.Avoid overeating 3.save water, electricity, avoid plastic as much as you can
  • Love the point when he said that fresh food is always looked cheaper than processed food but the truth is upside down that we people don't look the women's hardwork behind making that food everday .
  • Moral of the story अति सर्वत्र वर्जयेत 🙏🙏
  • My grandparents lived for 99 and 94 yrs. What I learned, exercise, discipline, eat in moderation and don’t take medication for every problem, analyze it and find alternate ways of solving it by good lifestyle. Happy a positive mindset and also everyone has to eat what their body tells them and local diet is the best as it’s according to your climatic conditions

    I am sure the guest has plenty of good things to say and without taking anything away from him. Here is my take - There are pros and cons to every kind of ingredient , food , preparation style. Do what feels right for you based on your personal circumstances. No one has the right to judge how you eat your food, live your life.. As for me - I have been on microwave food, outside food , home cooked , junk, healthy all sorts. Ultimately came down to a question of how much. Everything in moderation was good and I was healthy. Everything in excess affected my health….So, I learnt my lesson. As a side note, listen to your body. It will give you signals when something is right or not right.
  • @abhilekhhhh
    I am in college I cook my own food. Man it takes so much time, thinking and planning. That too while managing studies. I was not a feminist. But after I started cooking, cleaning etc I became one. Feminist in the true equality sense.
  • @sharafu824
    I loved this session, he bursted so many myth existing in society now... thank you so much for giving valuable knowledge
  • I live in Portugal, the country follows a Mediterranean diet and you would see so many people above the age of 80 or 90 walking every day to have a coffee and talk with their friends. They are really an inspiration. I think an individual should not only be financially independent but also healthily independent in their old age.
  • KrishAshok .. Bold , straight, honest on suggestions,highly scientific, Brutally right with sense of matter❤
  • What an awesome video! Total eye opener. Staying healthy is simple, the world complicates it. Thank you so much for the awareness. Individual variability exists. Not one size fits all. Respect for all cultures and diverse beliefs. Kudos to you both and your team! Keep going!
  • I found this concept interesting: In states where rice is the staple food, women tend to have higher literacy rates because rice cooks quickly, allowing more time for education. Proud to be from a rice-consuming state 😊 #Assam
  • @Akshay-jm4hs
    Thumbnail is misleading. He basically said overdose is bad
  • Hey this guy is gem of a person, an asset to the society. Pls call him atleast once a month for podcast. He is making life so easy. We all should know his entire knowledge. Really really loved listening to him
  • @kankanadas4009
