Distinguishing Good and Bad Eating Habits | Tips on balancing Sugar, Alcohol, & Gluten by Niketa

[00:00:00] Bad lifestyle has some pillars. Tress, poor sleep, alcohol, poor diet, no exercise.

[00:00:05] Having a good protein and fat rich breakfast.

[00:00:09] Important thing is to enjoy your diet. It's not a punishment for your body.

[00:00:12] If you want to have samosa at dinner, go ahead, have it.

[00:00:15] If we are eating outside, then how do we control our damage the next day?

[00:00:21] Hello everyone! I am your host Abhishek Mittal.

[00:00:24] I welcome you to Wisdom Whispers with Abhishek Mittal.

[00:00:27] Today we are going to discuss an important topic.

[00:00:31] We will talk about health in this topic.

[00:00:34] Today's environment is the most important.

[00:00:36] We don't just talk, we believe that health is wealth.

[00:00:40] So, it can't be helped without discussing its topic.

[00:00:43] To discuss this interesting topic, we have a specialist in gut and hormones.

[00:00:49] He has developed his career in this.

[00:00:52] Today we have Nikita, a dietitian.

[00:00:55] We will discuss these topics with him.

[00:00:58] So let's welcome Nikita to the show. Hi Nikita.

[00:01:00] Hi.

[00:01:01] Welcome to the show.

[00:01:02] Pleasure.

[00:01:03] Nikita, as we said, it is an interesting topic.

[00:01:07] Apart from interesting, it is a necessary topic.

[00:01:10] It is interesting, but it is a necessary topic.

[00:01:15] First, we will start by understanding how you should move in this.

[00:01:20] I did my MBA and then I worked in the corporate sector for about one and a half years.

[00:01:25] But when I was in my teenage years, I developed PCOD, which is very common nowadays.

[00:01:32] And I didn't have any knowledge of nutrition at that time.

[00:01:36] So I had various symptoms like facial hair, acne, hair fall.

[00:01:42] I was put on medications by the doctors and it lingered on.

[00:01:46] It continued for a long time.

[00:01:48] And then after I was just going through these conditions and then I had no knowledge of how to alternatively handle it.

[00:01:58] How should I help myself?

[00:01:59] There was no other way apart from resorting to those medications.

[00:02:03] Then I started studying about it.

[00:02:06] I started to look out for alternate methods.

[00:02:10] What other ways can be there?

[00:02:11] And I came across how nutrition helps you to come out of these conditions or similar conditions of lifestyle disorders.

[00:02:23] Because PCOD is also a lifestyle disorder.

[00:02:25] And as much as I started studying, I delved deeper and deeper.

[00:02:29] And I started to develop passion for this subject of nutrition.

[00:02:35] And that is what actually motivated me to pursue it as a career.

[00:02:40] Super. This is very interesting and motivational for everyone.

[00:02:46] Before I move on, I have some rapid-fire questions.

[00:02:51] We will not spend a lot of time on that but we will see.

[00:02:54] Because on the basis of that, we can discuss in detail.

[00:02:57] The first question, does stress affect digestion?

[00:03:02] Definitely. Stress is a major trigger for digestion issues.

[00:03:06] Okay.

[00:03:07] Another thing that is going on these days is gluten harmful for everyone.

[00:03:13] Gluten is harmful for, I would say 80% of the Indians.

[00:03:19] But gluten is only harmful for those who cannot accept it.

[00:03:24] Those bodies are intolerant towards gluten.

[00:03:27] So not for everybody but unfortunately the scenario in India is such that 80% of the people are intolerant towards gluten.

[00:03:33] Okay. We will discuss this.

[00:03:36] Because it is a requirement to go into more detail.

[00:03:40] Can you out-exercise a bad diet?

[00:03:43] No. I would say that it's always 80% diet and 20% exercise.

[00:03:49] It is like that. It is the rule.

[00:03:51] So you can never out-exercise a bad diet.

[00:03:54] I mean, you have to have a good diet in order for the exercise to give you those benefits.

[00:03:58] So another important part, do food intolerance affect mental health?

[00:04:05] Yes, definitely. Because your brain needs optimal supply of nutrients to function properly.

[00:04:13] And until you get nutrients, you will get things like brain fog.

[00:04:18] So it's really important.

[00:04:20] Nutrient intake and optimum nutrient intake is very important for our systems to function properly.

[00:04:26] Is there a healthy type of fat that we can easily consume?

[00:04:30] Definitely. Desi ghee or coconut oil.

[00:04:34] Okay. But there are a lot of Desi ghee podcasters who have made it for no reason.

[00:04:40] It's the most crucial thing that one should be having and everybody should be having.

[00:04:46] Did they make it with oil when they came here?

[00:04:49] Absolutely. The marketing companies.

[00:04:51] Exactly.

[00:04:52] Otherwise, it's our milk-based product.

[00:04:57] Absolutely.

[00:04:58] How can it be unhealthy for you?

[00:05:00] Okay. We will discuss these in detail in the future.

[00:05:03] I have a very basic question that I have recently noticed.

[00:05:06] Our young generation is facing health challenges that were linked to aging earlier.

[00:05:14] Which is like your BP, your cholesterol, your fatty liver, your diabetes.

[00:05:20] So what happened recently that we have started seeing this in new generations?

[00:05:27] Bad lifestyle is the root cause for all the lifestyle disorders you name.

[00:05:33] Be it high cholesterol, diabetes, fatty liver, hormonal issues like PCOD, thyroid, cancer.

[00:05:41] In fact, with your lifestyle you can actually prevent cancer.

[00:05:48] Recently, I was listening to a lot of celebrities.

[00:05:53] You were saying that once a month, I have a cheat diet.

[00:05:57] Otherwise, I don't have any taste buds.

[00:06:00] No, I feel that with regards to cheat diets, I feel that it is very important.

[00:06:05] Like I said, 80-20, it should be 80% balanced and 20% one should go off track

[00:06:11] because then in order to enjoy that 80%, it is important to go off track.

[00:06:17] Then your diets, your health, everything would be sustainable and you would enjoy it.

[00:06:22] The important thing is to enjoy your diets and not be bored.

[00:06:25] It's not a punishment for your body.

[00:06:27] Now this is my life.

[00:06:30] Why do you think that this is?

[00:06:33] There is one more question that I should start eating this Ubala Wakhana food by hitting my taste buds.

[00:06:40] So they are two sides of stories, right?

[00:06:43] There are people who think that they have to live long and healthy.

[00:06:47] So we follow this lifestyle in which we follow a diet according to diet, nutrition.

[00:06:53] We eat everything.

[00:06:54] There are no restrictions like this.

[00:06:56] The only restriction is junk food, oily food and that too is limited.

[00:07:01] But the other perspective is that I am a single life, I don't eat anything.

[00:07:06] Diets are unnecessarily demonised.

[00:07:08] It is not like that.

[00:07:09] In fact, the diet that I give, I make it a point that it should be 80-20.

[00:07:14] 80% according to me, 20% according to you.

[00:07:18] And according to you, you can just be a wild child and explore all the junk food options.

[00:07:23] That's okay and that's important also I feel.

[00:07:26] Because then the gut keeps on getting bad.

[00:07:29] You should see that your gut should be very rough and tough.

[00:07:34] It should be able to accept.

[00:07:36] Even if you are eating outside of the body, or you are eating roadside food,

[00:07:40] it should be used to all of that as well.

[00:07:43] But we don't have to dominate it in our body.

[00:07:46] We have to balance it out and do damage control.

[00:07:49] We should know that even if we are eating outside,

[00:07:52] how do we do damage control the next day?

[00:07:54] Or how do we do damage control one meal a day?

[00:07:57] If you want to eat samosa at dinner, go ahead and have it.

[00:08:00] But then to balance it out, one can just have a plate full of cucumber.

[00:08:05] If that goes into the fibre, then that will not be a blood sugar spike

[00:08:08] which will otherwise be caused by samosa.

[00:08:10] So this is how you can balance it out and it wouldn't cause havoc in your body.

[00:08:14] You are giving a very good tip.

[00:08:16] Don't worry, there will be many such tips.

[00:08:19] You can eat samosa and then eat a plate full of cucumber.

[00:08:23] But then the limitation of samosa is not every week.

[00:08:26] But of course.

[00:08:27] And it's not even every week.

[00:08:30] Just to keep calm your taste buds and let them have fun.

[00:08:37] You talked about lifestyle.

[00:08:41] The current generation is facing challenges because

[00:08:43] these challenges are not limited to health.

[00:08:46] I work in corporate.

[00:08:48] In corporate, these new generations have to take a lot of leave

[00:08:53] and you don't have to take a lot of leave because if you are getting ill

[00:08:55] naturally you will not be able to work.

[00:08:56] You will not be able to give your 100%.

[00:08:59] So how do we change this lifestyle?

[00:09:02] And should we add additions to it so that these basic problems

[00:09:06] at least I have some solution to them.

[00:09:10] There are some pillars of bad lifestyle.

[00:09:11] Let me give you some keywords for that.

[00:09:14] I call it double S A double D E N.

[00:09:17] You can call it sadden which is relating to the bad lifestyle.

[00:09:22] Let me break it out.

[00:09:23] The first S in double S would come from stress.

[00:09:27] Second S would come from poor sleep.

[00:09:30] A would come from alcohol.

[00:09:33] D would come from poor diet.

[00:09:35] The next D would come from poor density of nutrients.

[00:09:39] E would come from emotional eating slash mental health

[00:09:42] which is substitute.

[00:09:44] N would come from no exercise.

[00:09:47] So if you look at these factors

[00:09:49] and if you start working on these factors

[00:09:53] you are good to go.

[00:09:55] I mean your lifestyle is back on track.

[00:09:57] Because in the starting of the rapid fire question

[00:09:59] I had asked how stress impacts your health.

[00:10:02] Right.

[00:10:03] Specifically the diet.

[00:10:04] So how do I reduce stress?

[00:10:07] It is different in the current environment.

[00:10:10] We will talk about a different topic.

[00:10:13] But what should I follow for health or diet

[00:10:15] that I should reduce stress?

[00:10:18] So Abhishek with regards to stress

[00:10:21] if I talk about diet

[00:10:22] there is a specific nutrient called omega 3 fatty acids.

[00:10:26] You must have heard of it.

[00:10:28] Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid

[00:10:31] which we need on a daily basis

[00:10:33] which is very lacking in today's diet.

[00:10:36] This plays a major role on the stress levels of the body.

[00:10:39] It works like anti-inflammatory

[00:10:41] and what happens is when we are stressed out

[00:10:44] free radicals are produced in our body.

[00:10:47] Free radicals are like those headless chickens

[00:10:49] which cause damage to our organs and all of that.

[00:10:54] So this intake of omega 3 really helps

[00:10:58] with the reduction of stress levels.

[00:11:01] Then there are certain vitamins and minerals

[00:11:03] specifically like magnesium, zinc, selenium

[00:11:05] which is having a very positive impact

[00:11:09] on stress reduction.

[00:11:11] Now omega 3 if I would say would come from fish

[00:11:14] or you can take a supplement from fish

[00:11:18] or if I talk about vegetarian sources

[00:11:21] the good sources of omega 3 would be

[00:11:23] walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds.

[00:11:25] These are excellent sources of omega 3.

[00:11:28] If I talk about flax seeds specifically

[00:11:30] if you take flax seed oil

[00:11:33] it is an excellent source of omega 3

[00:11:35] it gets concentrated.

[00:11:36] So if you start using 1 tbsp of flax seed oil

[00:11:40] in your diet daily

[00:11:42] you know you put it in curry or you put it in salad

[00:11:44] you don't need omega 3 or supplement

[00:11:49] you are good to go.

[00:11:51] It has hundreds of roles to play in the body

[00:11:54] number one role would be in your

[00:11:57] reduction of stress levels.

[00:11:59] That's so important because recently

[00:12:03] I have started taking omega 3 as a supplement

[00:12:05] because of some health issues

[00:12:07] but I think it is important to reduce stress levels

[00:12:12] You are helping people in their diet plans

[00:12:16] from a time

[00:12:16] so you must have many young generations

[00:12:20] So what is the major challenge

[00:12:23] that you feel that you have

[00:12:25] with a major problem?

[00:12:27] You know in today's date you know

[00:12:28] because of lifestyle disorders

[00:12:30] there are so many health issues

[00:12:31] and a child from the ages 11 or 12

[00:12:35] till the age of 80

[00:12:37] is suffering through these health issues

[00:12:40] they are immersed into it

[00:12:43] it is happening like that

[00:12:45] but when people come

[00:12:47] what they are concerned about

[00:12:48] is that we go to dietitian

[00:12:51] we have to lose weight

[00:12:52] Their major concern is

[00:12:54] that we should reach at least 60 kgs

[00:12:57] and reach to that

[00:12:58] This cannot happen unless and until

[00:13:01] you address those underlying health issues

[00:13:04] So it is really important

[00:13:06] that whatever the condition is

[00:13:07] whether it is a gut condition

[00:13:09] or constipation

[00:13:10] or if someone has a hormonal issue

[00:13:13] like thyroid or PCOD

[00:13:16] or cholesterol

[00:13:18] or high triglycerides

[00:13:20] or if someone has blood pressure issues

[00:13:22] even if you are on medication

[00:13:24] then also diet plays a crucial role

[00:13:27] in not progressing the disease

[00:13:30] I am not saying that without doctor

[00:13:32] leave me with medicine

[00:13:34] but you can definitely get on the reversal track

[00:13:36] and you can definitely control it through your diet

[00:13:39] majorly and then lifestyle

[00:13:41] and weight loss

[00:13:43] of course will only happen

[00:13:45] weight loss will only happen

[00:13:47] once you address that issue

[00:13:49] because your weight gain

[00:13:51] has happened because of that issue

[00:13:53] Yes because

[00:13:54] we say that metabolism is bad

[00:13:56] Yes

[00:13:57] That is why weight gain is happening

[00:13:59] That is not the only reason

[00:14:00] Understand that why metabolism is bad

[00:14:03] What is the reason for your disturbed metabolism

[00:14:05] You have to understand that address the root cause

[00:14:08] It is important

[00:14:08] I think you have picked a very important point

[00:14:10] that if you are going to dietitian

[00:14:12] then don't think that your weight loss is there

[00:14:15] Exactly

[00:14:15] I will get that on my gut

[00:14:16] and it will make a list of foods

[00:14:19] and it will be my weight loss in 2 months

[00:14:23] Can be a byproduct

[00:14:24] After you address these important issues

[00:14:27] Exactly and weight loss happens

[00:14:28] You will get it from 80 kg to 60 kg

[00:14:31] because we have caught that problem

[00:14:33] and we are handling that issue

[00:14:35] and weight loss is just a byproduct

[00:14:38] It will happen simultaneously

[00:14:40] We have already talked about this

[00:14:42] Let's move ahead

[00:14:43] Eating out is categorized as

[00:14:46] how is all bad

[00:14:48] So we can distinguish between

[00:14:49] bad, less bad and good

[00:14:51] No, according to me there is no distinction

[00:14:54] of bad, less bad or good

[00:14:56] Like I said 80-20

[00:14:58] That is the right balance

[00:15:00] that you have to strike with your health

[00:15:02] with your diet

[00:15:03] Everything is sustainable

[00:15:07] everything is doable

[00:15:08] No diet is difficult for you

[00:15:10] things are too much simplified

[00:15:12] and it is achievable

[00:15:14] Specifically because I come from Haryana

[00:15:16] The biggest challenge here

[00:15:19] is sugar craving

[00:15:20] We need something sweet after every meal

[00:15:24] How can we control it?

[00:15:27] Specifically for me

[00:15:29] Because I am like a proper Haryana

[00:15:32] that we need sugar after every meal

[00:15:34] and naturally it is a

[00:15:36] It is a killing for the body

[00:15:37] There are some tips

[00:15:38] which I can control sugar craving

[00:15:41] or I can subside it a little

[00:15:43] First you need to understand why sugar craving is happening

[00:15:46] Now sugar craving is also a sign

[00:15:50] that your body is giving you

[00:15:51] which you should address

[00:15:52] Why sugar craving happens?

[00:15:54] Or is there a deficiency of nutrients in your body

[00:15:57] Number one

[00:15:57] Number two is

[00:15:59] there is a constant blood sugar spike

[00:16:01] that is going on

[00:16:02] Like your blood sugar levels

[00:16:03] are going up, down, up, down

[00:16:06] They are constantly wavering

[00:16:07] they are not stable

[00:16:08] Due to these two reasons

[00:16:09] sugar cravings happen

[00:16:12] Now what we have to do

[00:16:13] is that sugar cravings are not present

[00:16:15] There are other ways

[00:16:17] Things like

[00:16:18] If I give you few pro tips here

[00:16:20] Number one would be

[00:16:22] having a good protein

[00:16:23] and fat rich breakfast

[00:16:26] If you avoid carbs in your breakfast

[00:16:28] it is a major game changer

[00:16:30] To manage your sugar cravings

[00:16:33] Number two would be

[00:16:34] having a good source of fiber

[00:16:36] which is in our green vegetables

[00:16:38] green leafy vegetables

[00:16:40] having a good fiber intake in the day

[00:16:43] Whether you take it in the form of salad

[00:16:45] or soup

[00:16:47] or vegetables

[00:16:49] Try to have it in each meal

[00:16:50] If not, by chance

[00:16:51] the meal is like

[00:16:52] you are not getting any vegetables

[00:16:54] Just have a plate of cucumber

[00:16:57] that will do the job

[00:16:58] Number three is

[00:16:59] have a low carb diet

[00:17:01] Low carb diet means

[00:17:02] our rice and roti

[00:17:05] are in double quantity

[00:17:06] but our vegetables are this much

[00:17:08] or our salad is not present

[00:17:10] or our protein is not present

[00:17:12] when you change the way

[00:17:15] you are plating your food

[00:17:16] that creates a major difference

[00:17:18] and that is the major game changer

[00:17:20] for your sugar cravings throughout the day

[00:17:22] I am having it at that time

[00:17:24] Is there anything that I can

[00:17:26] eat and sub side it?

[00:17:29] Definitely

[00:17:29] You can eat your protein rich snack

[00:17:31] and sub side it

[00:17:32] You can eat your protein and fat

[00:17:33] For example

[00:17:35] even if you feel like having a fruit

[00:17:36] that time

[00:17:37] if you are having sugar cravings

[00:17:39] then eat fruit

[00:17:39] with maybe

[00:17:42] unsweetened almond butter

[00:17:44] or eat fruit with unsweetened peanut butter

[00:17:47] that is a protein source

[00:17:48] our blood sugar will not spike

[00:17:50] and our work will be done

[00:17:52] our craving will be satisfied

[00:17:53] Is there anything that you can eat with some savoury?

[00:17:55] No, you cannot satisfy your sugar craving

[00:17:57] No matter how much you want

[00:17:58] If you feel like

[00:18:03] eating chocolate

[00:18:04] eating chocolate will satisfy you

[00:18:06] eat chocolate

[00:18:07] and control your damage

[00:18:09] How you do that?

[00:18:10] If you are a vegetarian

[00:18:12] have a protein shake after that

[00:18:14] A protein shake is also demonised

[00:18:16] It is a long conversation

[00:18:19] You can drink protein shake if you are exercising

[00:18:21] You have to drink it before that

[00:18:22] otherwise protein will get gathered

[00:18:25] It will get gathered, kidney will get spoiled

[00:18:28] All of that

[00:18:28] If you are a vegetarian

[00:18:29] I would say that taking a protein powder

[00:18:32] should be a must

[00:18:34] because vegetarian's protein

[00:18:36] is not complete daily intake

[00:18:38] unless and until someone has gut issues

[00:18:40] and there is a problem with the digestion of protein

[00:18:43] If you have a healthy gut

[00:18:45] you must take a protein powder

[00:18:47] if you are a vegetarian

[00:18:49] Soya and paneer will also work, right?

[00:18:51] No, but that would be coming

[00:18:53] with a lot of other things

[00:18:55] like fat intake

[00:18:57] and then there will be a little calorie budget

[00:19:00] But you can of course

[00:19:02] If you are taking a protein shake

[00:19:05] you will eat a meal of paneer

[00:19:07] There is a specific portion of it

[00:19:11] that you should have

[00:19:11] You will not have the complete requirement

[00:19:14] Vegetarian is important

[00:19:16] that at least one tablespoon

[00:19:18] of protein powder should be going inside

[00:19:20] the body to meet the daily intake

[00:19:22] That is why I was thinking

[00:19:24] that a simple dietary change

[00:19:29] can improve your energy levels

[00:19:32] Yes, definitely

[00:19:33] So what happens is

[00:19:35] when we make a diet plan

[00:19:36] we calculate

[00:19:38] not too much calculation

[00:19:41] but we calculate too

[00:19:42] For example, I have calculated

[00:19:44] that your body needs

[00:19:45] 60 grams of fat in a day

[00:19:48] Now that is also the sources

[00:19:50] of fat

[00:19:50] One is bad fat

[00:19:52] which is trans fat

[00:19:53] One should be completely avoiding

[00:19:55] The other fat

[00:19:56] should be coming from your diet

[00:19:59] which is healthy fat

[00:20:00] and your cooking oils

[00:20:03] So if you divide 60 grams

[00:20:06] If you take it from your diet

[00:20:07] then divide it in a day

[00:20:10] 10, 10, 10 or 20, 20

[00:20:12] Divide it out throughout the day

[00:20:14] and have a good source

[00:20:15] of healthy fat with each meal

[00:20:17] For example

[00:20:18] a side of avocado

[00:20:22] a small portion of nuts

[00:20:24] a small portion of coconut chunks

[00:20:27] with every meal

[00:20:28] Because

[00:20:29] fats are a dense source of energy

[00:20:32] and when we eat it

[00:20:33] with every meal

[00:20:35] staying in our calorie budget

[00:20:36] this would give us

[00:20:38] a burst of energy

[00:20:40] and it will keep us stable for a long time

[00:20:42] and it maintains our energy levels

[00:20:44] throughout the day

[00:20:46] which is a huge challenge

[00:20:47] Nowadays people say

[00:20:49] they want to eat one or two meals a day

[00:20:52] Right, to the worst

[00:20:53] So you have limited it

[00:20:56] so your energy levels go up

[00:20:58] Absolutely

[00:20:59] and your productivity also goes down

[00:21:01] And the relationship of energy levels

[00:21:03] is very big from the blood sugar level

[00:21:06] Blood sugar is very important

[00:21:08] like blood sugar balance in the body

[00:21:10] is very important

[00:21:11] and we are not eating anything

[00:21:13] or we are not eating anything

[00:21:14] our blood sugar is very high

[00:21:17] and the lifestyle issues

[00:21:19] or problems that come up

[00:21:20] they start here

[00:21:22] with the blood sugar imbalance

[00:21:24] So the first step is to manage it

[00:21:26] which is very important

[00:21:29] and when we are telling you about the energy levels

[00:21:30] the ways which are stable

[00:21:33] having a protein

[00:21:34] and fat rich breakfast

[00:21:36] and having fiber during the day

[00:21:38] it balances out our blood sugar

[00:21:39] and it balances out our blood sugar

[00:21:40] When you start doing this

[00:21:42] automatically by the end of the day

[00:21:44] you wouldn't feel

[00:21:45] that I am feeling a crash

[00:21:47] or you won't feel that afternoon is over

[00:21:51] I am just feeling very low on energy

[00:21:53] throughout the day you are stable

[00:21:55] and you are energetic

[00:21:56] Good, we discussed in the beginning

[00:22:00] later we will discuss gluten

[00:22:01] You said 80%

[00:22:03] Indian population is

[00:22:05] gluten resistant

[00:22:06] Right?

[00:22:07] The maximum people are taking gluten today

[00:22:10] Right

[00:22:10] People think that

[00:22:13] eating healthy means eating healthy food

[00:22:15] but it doesn't work like that

[00:22:18] because I will tell you

[00:22:19] why people are facing so many problems

[00:22:21] with gluten

[00:22:22] So there is a lot of difference in the quality

[00:22:25] of the wheat crop

[00:22:26] The first time wheat crop

[00:22:29] and the up time wheat crop

[00:22:30] has a different ground level

[00:22:32] There is a lot of

[00:22:33] I would say hybrid variety

[00:22:35] of wheat is widespread

[00:22:37] because of which

[00:22:39] this problem of gluten intolerance

[00:22:41] is coming, celiac disease

[00:22:43] is on the rise

[00:22:44] Now it is very common

[00:22:48] Celiac is what?

[00:22:49] When the gut is totally resistant

[00:22:51] to gluten and

[00:22:52] it is in a very worst condition

[00:22:55] I had a friend

[00:22:56] who was very difficult to manage

[00:22:59] You can't even eat

[00:23:00] You can't even eat

[00:23:01] Now there are many options

[00:23:04] But on the other hand

[00:23:06] because of this particular thing

[00:23:08] because of a lot of pesticides

[00:23:09] our cropping system

[00:23:12] our farming system

[00:23:13] because of malpractice over there

[00:23:16] That is why people are facing

[00:23:18] a problem of gluten intolerance

[00:23:20] a lot

[00:23:21] But I say

[00:23:23] if you cannot eat bread

[00:23:26] you can eat other bread

[00:23:28] There are a lot of other options

[00:23:29] like ragi, jowar, bajra

[00:23:31] rice bread

[00:23:32] rice flour bread

[00:23:34] There are a lot of other options

[00:23:35] that you will never feel like eating a bread

[00:23:37] Number one

[00:23:38] Number two is you are helping your body

[00:23:41] by not giving it gluten

[00:23:43] If you don't suit

[00:23:44] then if you are doing okay with it

[00:23:47] if it is not giving you issues

[00:23:48] like bloating, gas

[00:23:50] acidity

[00:23:51] it's good to go

[00:23:52] Now there is a way to find out

[00:23:55] if your body is doing okay

[00:23:57] If people keep eating

[00:23:58] if they keep saying that we are bloating

[00:24:00] this and that

[00:24:01] There is a way to find out

[00:24:03] specific elimination diet

[00:24:04] to find out

[00:24:07] what particular diet you have

[00:24:08] problem with flour

[00:24:09] or milk

[00:24:11] So it is very easy to find out

[00:24:16] what are the results

[00:24:16] Okay good

[00:24:18] Because it is very important for me

[00:24:20] vegetarian

[00:24:21] and life goes on with flour

[00:24:24] So I said

[00:24:26] 80% of our Indian population

[00:24:28] is resistant

[00:24:29] So what will people eat?

[00:24:31] There are a lot of options

[00:24:33] But the thing that you are eating

[00:24:36] is its taste

[00:24:37] Very difficult to change the taste of it

[00:24:41] If you are watching this

[00:24:43] in the Punjabi family

[00:24:44] to take away paratha from their diet

[00:24:47] is such a big

[00:24:49] like a game changer for them

[00:24:50] Because you always make parathas

[00:24:52] So you tell them that if you don't eat parathas

[00:24:55] then it is not possible

[00:24:56] So in the same way

[00:24:58] in Indian diet

[00:24:59] people don't have to eat wheat

[00:25:01] Now in fact gluten free flour

[00:25:04] has come

[00:25:05] like chana, mixed with something

[00:25:08] There are a lot of options

[00:25:10] In fact

[00:25:11] if you have a lot of taste

[00:25:13] what the person can do is

[00:25:15] 50-50

[00:25:16] 50% flour

[00:25:18] or some other mix

[00:25:21] at least it won't be that harmful

[00:25:24] and your body will be able to accept it

[00:25:26] in a better way

[00:25:27] Just one last question

[00:25:29] I think

[00:25:29] you told a very important

[00:25:32] sadden

[00:25:33] in today's lifestyle

[00:25:37] because people think

[00:25:39] that without alcohol

[00:25:41] you cannot socialize

[00:25:42] That is an important factor

[00:25:45] to socialize

[00:25:47] So how you take it

[00:25:49] How you

[00:25:50] what one

[00:25:52] suggestion you want to give it to people

[00:25:55] that boss is not like this

[00:25:57] I would say with regards to alcohol

[00:25:59] it controls the pleasure

[00:26:01] centers of your brain

[00:26:03] So it's not

[00:26:05] that

[00:26:07] don't do anything else

[00:26:08] I also do it

[00:26:09] but there has to be a limit

[00:26:12] you should know your balance

[00:26:13] and

[00:26:14] it's not that you are doing it regularly

[00:26:18] because then it takes a toll over your body

[00:26:21] it's kind of an addiction

[00:26:22] Have it

[00:26:24] take it as an enjoyment way

[00:26:26] and do it

[00:26:28] but do it occasionally

[00:26:29] so that your body doesn't get hurt

[00:26:31] you should know your right

[00:26:33] everyone's body's right is different

[00:26:35] Now if someone says it once in 15 days

[00:26:38] it's okay good to go

[00:26:39] okay

[00:26:41] okay it's okay

[00:26:42] with some people it's like

[00:26:45] every 2-3 days you have to do it

[00:26:47] it's controlling your brain

[00:26:49] that way that is wrong

[00:26:51] so do it

[00:26:52] in a balanced way

[00:26:54] I don't say even no to my clients

[00:26:55] sometimes you are allowed to eat out

[00:26:58] sometimes you are allowed to drink one or the other

[00:27:00] but then of course

[00:27:01] be in your limits

[00:27:02] and stay in balance is what I believe in

[00:27:05] Thank you

[00:27:06] and one last thing which I will tell

[00:27:08] all the audience here is

[00:27:10] that whatever tips we are giving

[00:27:13] whatever discussions we have

[00:27:14] please don't

[00:27:16] take it on a face value

[00:27:18] everyone's body is different

[00:27:20] you should go to a dietitian

[00:27:22] you should consult him

[00:27:23] you should tell him your entire case

[00:27:26] so just don't follow youtube videos

[00:27:28] just don't follow all these

[00:27:30] don't follow all these marketing tips

[00:27:32] as it is consumed

[00:27:33] see a doctor

[00:27:35] see a dietitian

[00:27:37] and then take a balanced steps for you

[00:27:39] absolutely

[00:27:40] thanks a lot for joining us Nikita

[00:27:43] great talking to you

[00:27:45] it was great, I got lots of tips

[00:27:46] I have lots of tips for me too

[00:27:48] I will try to control the sugar

[00:27:52] thank you so much

[00:27:53] it was a very interesting discussion

[00:27:55] I also had some tips for me personally

[00:27:58] I tried to ask my own tips

[00:28:00] health is such an important topic

[00:28:03] in today's lifestyle

[00:28:04] again I am picking up the Nikita's keyword

[00:28:07] lifestyle

[00:28:07] it is so important for us to change

[00:28:10] to live a good and healthy life

[00:28:13] for a longer time

[00:28:15] we are always thinking

[00:28:17] whether to live long

[00:28:18] enjoy the world

[00:28:20] the world is so big

[00:28:21] we have to look at many things

[00:28:22] to do that

[00:28:24] we need to take care of our health

[00:28:25] again I will say

[00:28:28] whatever you are doing

[00:28:30] my personal suggestion

[00:28:32] please don't blindly follow

[00:28:37] youtube videos

[00:28:37] your body can be different

[00:28:40] from anyone

[00:28:41] so go to a doctor

[00:28:44] consult him

[00:28:46] and then follow any plan

[00:28:48] and very important

[00:28:49] diet plans

[00:28:52] this is not just a weight loss mechanism

[00:28:55] it needs to work on different things

[00:28:58] of your body

[00:28:58] like we said there are gut, hormonal changes

[00:29:01] right

[00:29:02] so you have to focus on that

[00:29:05] it is your personal

[00:29:07] it is not generic

[00:29:08] I picked up something from google
