My guest column for @HTBrunch on the true nature of sabudana and the nuance of nutrition which always comes from digging deeper - hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/brun…
The complexity and confounding nature of nutrition make it difficult to pinpoint cause and effect, but there is no grey area when it comes to factory-made food products. No good comes from eating these highly processed products.
Ingredients like rava, maida, vermicelli (semia), poha, sabudana are regularly used in our Indian kitchens. The fact that these are desi foods doesn't make them nutrient-rich by default. Each of these undergoes processing of the original ingredient to varying degrees.

This ‘celebrity nutritionist’ is known for peddling all kinds of health damaging info, ex: eating every 2 hours (causes hyperinsulinemia, metabolic damage, ripe mangoes for diabetics (causes spike in blood sugar) and now the most ultra processed zero-nutrition food as superfood.
What troubles me more is that a reputed publication like @HindustanTimes aiding such quacks in peddling their quackery. So disappointed.
Only this time, the self proclaimed expert has gone too far even by her own standards- sabudana for menopause and better fertility?! ROFLMAO. But she’s the one laughing at us because people blv every word she says.

Thread:
2-DG is in the news and there is a quite some conflicting information around it. Let us try and make some sense of it. #2DGDrug
2-DG is short for 2-deoxy-D-glucose, a drug developed by DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) in collaboration with Dr.Reddy’s Laboratories (DRL).
2-DG is a generic molecule, a synthetic analogue of glucose. It is said to selectively accumulate in SARS-CoV-2 infected cells, cutting off the glucose supply, reducing energy production and stopping further viral synthesis.

🧵*Debunking Covid19 prevention and cure myths* 🦠‼️

This is a thread of all the remedies that DO NOT prevent or cure Covid19.

These have been doing the rounds on social media /Whatsapp & many even promoted by media channels, politicians, godmen, famous personalities etc.
These fake preventions and remedies can cause more harm than good, and even turn dangerous when people lose valuable time in seeking actual medical help.

Kindly DO NOT share such unverified remedies on your platforms.

Follow the advice of your treating doctor only.
🚫Homeopathy does not cure Covid19. Fake social media posts have been recommending Aspidosperma Q20 to deal with the scramble for O2. WHO has said that it would not recommend homeopathic medications as an alternative to oxygen. Ministry of Ayush also posted that this is false.

🧵We are facing a terrible time with the second wave of Covid with anxiety and helplessness on every front.

There's a lot of misinformation on food/nutrition in the context of Covid.

I've prepared a diet plan to follow if you have Covid or for a proactive healthy diet. 1/14
To make it simple, here are the 3 categories of foods to eat everyday
1. Foods to improve immunity
2. Foods to reduce inflammation
3. Foods for improved mental health (our mental health is crumbling, whether we realise it or not) 2/14
CATEGORY 1 - Let us look at the immune-boosting category first.

Our gut is directly related to immunity. Gut flora consists of about 40 trillion live microorganisms and these makeup for nearly 75% of the immune system. So keep the good bacteria in the gut happy. How? 3/14

Few days ago, a neighbour shared a pic of kadhai paneer made by her mom in law. Something about that photo screamed delicious. We all hounded her for the recipe. In a couple of days, she sent us a detailed recipe in the WhatsApp group. #lockdown cooking
I have been prepping for it this morning. If there’s enough interest, I’ll share the step by step recipe with photos. This promises to be incredibly tasty ❤️
PREP:
Cube+marinate 200 g paneer in 1/2 tsp red chilli powder + pinch of salt for 15 mins.
Cut 1 small capsicum into squares. Prep 1 small onion by cutting into quarters and peeling off the layers.

STEP 01- Heat 1 tbsp butter+1 tbsp oil. Fry marinated paneer for a bit. Drain.
