More Than a Meal: Why School Nutrition Matters

A healthy meal can make a big difference to a child’s ability to learn, attend school and stay healthy. But school nutrition is about more than simply addressing hunger. It can influence learning, concentration, attendance, wellbeing and a child’s long-term development. In this episode of Nutrition Every Day, we explore why school meal programmes should be seen as an investment in children and in the future of communities and countries. We discuss how nutritious school meals can benefit not only children, but also families, farmers, local economies and gender equality. We also look at how our understanding of school nutrition has changed. Beyond calories, children need diverse diets and essential vitamins and minerals to support their growth and development. Our guest is Archna Sinha, Co-founder and CEO of Nourishing Schools Foundation. She shares her insights on the role of school nutrition, its wider impact and why nutrition during the school years remains important for lifelong health. #NutritionEveryDay #SchoolNutrition #ChildNutrition #SchoolMeals #Nutrition #Education #FoodSecurity #HealthyChildren #NourishingSchools #TheGoodSight Credits Guest: Archana Sinha Host: Shreya M Research: Alisha C Artwork: Priyanka Produced by: The Good Sight Concept: The Good Sight & Rise Against Hunger India

Rethinking Nutrition with Nutrigenetics

Why can two people eat the same meal yet respond to it differently? While one may feel energized, another may experience different effects on health and well-being. Could our genes play a role in how our bodies respond to food? In this episode of, we explore the growing fields of nutrigenetics and precision nutrition and ask whether personalized approaches can complement traditional public health nutrition strategies. For decades, population-wide interventions such as food fortification, supplementation and nutrition programmes have played a crucial role in addressing undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. But India today faces a more complex nutrition landscape, where undernutrition coexists with obesity, lifestyle diseases and hidden deficiencies. Joining us is Dr. Sherebanu Milky, an Integrative Physician with over 24 years of clinical experience in personalized nutrition, nutrigenetics and mind-body health. The conversation explores the relationship between nutrition, genetics and health, including cognitive function and mental well-being. We also discuss traditional diets, indigenous foods and whether precision nutrition can become more accessible and relevant in diverse and low-resource settings. Finally, Dr. Milky shares practical, evidence-based approaches that individuals and families can adopt for better nutritional health—without relying solely on expensive technologies. #Nutrition #Nutrigenetics #PrecisionNutrition #PersonalizedNutrition #PublicHealth #Malnutrition #HealthyDiets #MindBodyHealth #TheGoodSightPodcast Guest: Dr. Sherebanu M.

What's on India's Plate? What's Missing?

India is one of the world’s largest food producers, yet the country continues to face a complex nutrition challenge. Undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies coexist with rising obesity, diabetes and lifestyle diseases. In this episode of Nutrition Every Day, we look beyond the plate to understand what is shaping India’s nutrition story. What are Indians eating? Where are the biggest nutritional gaps? Are we really getting enough protein? And why are undernutrition and obesity rising at the same time? We speak with Dr. Rajan Sankar, a leading voice in nutrition and public health, whose work spans the Indian Army Medical Corps, UNICEF, GAIN and major nutrition initiatives in India. He has also served as Senior Advisor – Nutrition at Tata Trusts and Founding Director of the India Nutrition Initiative. From protein and dietary diversity to healthy eating myths and the wider factors that shape our food choices, this conversation explores what it will take to build a healthier India.

The Complementary Feeding Challenge

Every parent wants to give their child the best possible start in life. But when a baby reaches six months, introducing complementary foods is not as simple as being told, “start feeding your child.” Complementary feeding is the period when a child moves from breast milk alone to receiving other foods alongside continued breastfeeding. What happens during these months can have consequences far beyond childhood, influencing growth and development, the risk of undernutrition and, later in life, even diet-related diseases. In India, we have programmes, guidelines and public health messaging around infant and young child feeding. Yet translating that knowledge into what actually appears on a child’s plate every day remains a challenge. So, what does complementary feeding really look like in India? What are the barriers families face, and how can we make nutritious diets more affordable, accessible and practical? In this episode, we explore “Complementary Feeding: What’s Really on a Child’s Plate?” with Shweta Khandelwal, a public health nutrition expert working across nutrition epidemiology, policy and governance, and maternal and child nutrition.

The Hidden Cost of Food Waste

Every day, households around the world throw away more than one billion meals. Globally, nearly 1.05 billion tonnes of food is wasted every year, roughly one-fifth of all the food we produce. But food waste is about far more than leftovers. Every wasted meal also means wasted land, water, energy and labour, while contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and costing the global economy nearly a trillion dollars each year. And then there is India. The country is estimated to waste more than 78 million tonnes of food annually, even as millions continue to face food insecurity and malnutrition. So why does food waste coexist with hunger? In this episode, we explore “The Hidden Cost of Food Waste” with Vandana Singh, Director at the Food Security Foundation India, and examine why reducing food waste is critical to building more sustainable, equitable and resilient food systems.

Beyond Food: Towards Nutrition Security

For decades, the focus of food security was simple: ensuring people had enough food to eat. But is having enough food enough to ensure good health? In this episode, we explore the shift from food security to nutrition security and why access to safe, affordable, diverse and nutritious diets matters as much as food availability. Joining us is Deepti Gulati, Nutrition and Public Health Specialist, to discuss what India’s persistent challenges with malnutrition, anaemia and micronutrient deficiencies tell us about the gaps in our food systems and why the future of public health must focus not just on feeding people, but nourishing them well. #NutritionSecurity #FoodSecurity #Nutrition #PublicHealth #Malnutrition #FoodSystems #HealthyDiets #NutritionInIndia #HealthAndNutrition #TheGoodSight Credits Guest: Deepti Gulati Host: Shreya M Research: Alisha C Artwork: Priyanka Produced by: The Good Sight Concept: The Good Sight & Rise Against Hunger India

Superfoods: Marketing Hype or Scientific Reality?

If you've spent even a few minutes on social media, you've probably come across claims about the latest "superfood" that promises to boost immunity, improve gut health, increase energy, or transform your overall well-being. From chia seeds and quinoa to matcha and exotic supplements, food trends seem to emerge almost overnight. But behind the buzz lies an important question: is there really such a thing as a superfood, or is it simply a powerful marketing label? In this episode of Nutrition Every Day, Season 2, we speak with Shilpa Mittal, award-winning nutritionist, lifestyle coach, and visual nutrition facilitator with over 25 years of experience, to separate nutrition science from wellness hype. She explores the origins of the term "superfood," explains why food trends gain popularity so quickly, highlights the remarkable nutritional value of India's traditional foods, and shares practical advice on identifying evidence-based nutrition in an era of social media influencers and marketing claims. #NutritionEveryDay #Superfoods #NutritionScience #HealthyEating #EvidenceBasedNutrition #FoodTrends #PublicHealth #Nutrition #IndianFoods #TraditionalFoods #Wellness #DietMyths #Lifestyle #HealthyLiving #NutritionEducation Credits:Guest: Shilpa MittalHost: Shreya MResearch: Alisha CArtwork: PriyankaProduced by: The Good SightConcept: The Good Sight & Rise Against Hunger India
