A 'Western' versus 'Indian' breakfast? Huge Instagram handles peddling intense health misinformation on nutrition like this one from a Yoga lady who has rented out her brain, gets maximum engagement when they glorify an "Indian" veggie breakfast over the "synthetic and processed" Western breakfast, especially in the context of cereals and use of milk and fruits. Mixing fruits and milk according to Ayurvedic principles is disastrous. The pseudoscience claims that this combination destroys the Agni (digestive fire) in us when cold foods are consumed in the morning when Agni is at its lowest. This is utter nonsense. There is no 'cold' and 'hot' concept in nutrition. And there is no digestive fire. This is total mockery of nutritional science that has been mentioned in classical Ayurvedic texts and has no realistic objective meaning or measures to prove it. A strawberry shake or a banana shake in the morning is not going to kill you. It is an excellent source of proteins and vitamins and required calories after an overnight fasting state. And there is absolutely no evidence that a breakfast of boxed cereals is harmful. In fact, most cereals are fortified with many minerals, vitamins and other micro nutrients which help people attain targets for recommended daily intake. Look at these studies and do not skip breakfast or shy away from fortified foods. 1/ The daily consumption of fortified cereal with milk for 12 weeks by adolescent girls, increased intakes of micronutrients - 2/ Ready to eat breakfast food consumption was associated with higher daily micronutrients intake than breakfast skippers and with with better macronutrient intake and healthier food and beverage consumption - and 3/ This evidence based study that looked at breakfast cereal use states that breakfast cereal consumption was associated with diets higher in vitamins and minerals and lower in fat and a lower body mass index and less risk of being overweight or obese - 4/ Ready to eat cereal breakfasts contribute to greater nutrient intake and diet quality in children and adults without increasing total daily meal costs - 5/ Ready to eat breakfast cereals do not contribute to obesity or metabolic diseases - 6/ Fruit smoothies for breakfast provide energy dense options with good nutritional quality and can help reduce calorie intake throughout the day - 7/ Including fruit smoothies improved fruit based consumption in school going children to meet their macro/micro nutrient needs - 8/ Including milk-based diets (shakes), i.e., increased dairy intake as part of energy restricted diets resulted in greater loss in bodyweight and fat mass while attenuating lean mass loss in 18–50-year-old adults - Remember, for your nutritional needs or advise, please see/follow your clinical doctor (not Ayush) or a registered clinical nutritionist and not some "pleased-to-meet-you-perpetually-smily-faced-let-me-monetize-your-stupidity" Yoga peddlers on Instagram who has no idea about human anatomy and physiology. Cirrhosis patients, be wary about salt content in ready-to-eat packed foods. PS: Watch the video on mute. The background music is annoying.

Very disappointed with this. I don't understand why people in power and position need to misinform. Why can't we simply follow science and evidence, progress through rationalism and logic, and stop embracing primitive beliefs and practices? Is it too much to ask? Panchakarma is an ancient practice originating in Ayurveda where a person is made to vomit, given enema that induces diarrhea, exposed to leeches that suck our blood or veins cut for blood letting. This does not in any way increase longevity, or prevent diseases. Naresh Trehan, who mentions this, shamelessly and wrongfully, has an Ayurveda Wellness Center at his hospital, Medanta Medicity where they charge INR 6000 per day for undergoing this nonsensical procedure. He's a businessman here, and not doing this in good faith. And as for Ayurveda being known as the "Science of Life," it is not. This is the biggest myth. Ayurveda means Knowledge of Life (Ayu means 'lifespan', Veda means knowledge, not science). There is no science in Ayurveda. It is a stupid pseudoscience. Don't fall for this BS. Like I said, I'm very disappointed with this.

Hello Ministry of Ayush this company claims that their 15-herbs natural formula supplement is approved by your Ministry for increasing height in adults. There is absolutely no published evidence to these claims or scientific rationale and zero presence on safety studies. They claim 2 scoops a month will increase height by 2 inches. It will, of course, if the consumer also wore high heels. The company handle on instagram has 100s of 1000s of followers and more than a million views on this misleading product. Will you allow them to use your name to sell their dubious product or choose to remain flaccid when it comes to public health defense? Please check: Cc: Consumer Affairs
