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

Community Management of Malnutrition: Lessons for India

Malnutrition continues to be one of India's most pressing public health challenges. While it is often associated with food insecurity, the causes are far more complex, ranging from maternal health and caregiving practices to healthcare access, sanitation, early childhood development, and the strength of community support systems. In this episode of Nutrition Every Day, Season 2, we speak with Rajalakshmi Nair, Nutrition Specialist with UNICEF Maharashtra, about how community based approaches are transforming the way malnutrition is identified, managed, and prevented. Drawing on more than three decades of experience, she shares insights on community led care, maternal nutrition, grassroots innovations, common misconceptions about malnutrition, and the mindset shifts needed to improve nutrition outcomes for mothers and children across India. #NutritionEveryDay #Malnutrition #ChildNutrition #MaternalHealth #CommunityNutrition #UNICEF #PublicHealth #Nutrition #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment #SevereAcuteMalnutrition #MaternalNutrition #CommunityHealth #NutritionForAll #IndiaHealth #ChildHealth Credits: Guest: Rajalakshmi Nair Host: Shreya M Research: Alisha C Artwork: Priyanka Produced by: The Good Sight Concept: The Good Sight & Rise Against Hunger India

What Every Consumer Should Know About Food Safety

Food is something most of us rarely think twice about. Whether it's ordering dinner online, picking up groceries on the way home, or buying packaged snacks, we trust that the food we consume is safe. But in today's fast-changing food landscape, how much do we really know about what's on our plate? In this episode of Nutrition Every Day – Season 2, we speak with Ashwin Bhadri, Founder & CEO of Equinox Labs and a National Resource Person with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), about what every consumer should know about food safety. From understanding food labels and expiry dates to decoding claims like "natural," "high protein," and "sugar-free," we explore how consumers can make more informed choices. We also discuss the rise of online food delivery, the responsibilities of food businesses, and why food safety is about much more than just hygiene. This conversation offers practical insights to help consumers navigate today's food environment with greater confidence and awareness. #NutritionEveryDay #FoodSafety #ConsumerAwareness #FSSAI #FoodQuality #HealthyEating #Nutrition #PublicHealth #FoodLabels #OnlineFoodDelivery #FoodTesting #SafeFood #NutritionForAll Credits:Guest: Ashwin Bhadri Host: Shreya M Research: Alisha C Artwork: Priyanka Produced by: The Good Sight Concept: The Good Sight & Rise Against Hunger India

Rethinking India's First 1000 Days

India's nutrition story begins long before a child enters school. In this episode of Nutrition Every Day – Season 2, we speak with Rohini Saran, a public health and nutrition expert with nearly two decades of experience across maternal and child health, nutrition, and policy, about why the first 1000 days—from pregnancy to a child's second birthday—are the foundation for lifelong health and development. We explore how nutrition is shaped not only by food, but also by maternal health, sanitation, healthcare access, education, income, and community awareness. From tackling persistent malnutrition and addressing India's dual nutrition burden to strengthening systems and fostering the right mindset, this conversation examines what it will take to give every child the healthiest possible start in life. #NutritionEveryDay #First1000Days #MaternalHealth #ChildNutrition #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment #Nutrition #PublicHealth #MaternalNutrition #Malnutrition #IndiaHealth #WomenHealth #InfantNutrition #HealthPolicy #NutritionForAll #EarlyLifeNutrition #ChildDevelopment Credits: Guest: Rohini Saran Host: Shreya M Research: Alisha C Artwork: Priyanka Produced by: The Good Sight Concept: The Good Sight & Rise Against Hunger India

A Filariasis-Free Future: WHO’s Strategy and the Power of MDA

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Kamalakar Arjun Lashkare, National Professional Officer for Lymphatic Filariasis at the World Health Organization Country Office for India. We explore the global fight against lymphatic filariasis—commonly known as filaria—and unpack the World Health Organization’s strategy to eliminate it as a public health problem. Dr. Lashkare explains why WHO views filariasis not merely as a disease, but as a broader public health challenge with deep social and economic consequences. We discuss the organization’s technical framework, its overall global elimination roadmap, and the central role of Mass Drug Administration (MDA) in interrupting transmission. The conversation also dives into India’s efforts, one of the countries bearing a high burden of the disease, and how national strategies are shaped, implemented, and monitored. Finally, we examine what happens after elimination: the critical steps needed to prevent resurgence and ensure that filariasis does not return as a public health threat.

Filaria, commonly known as elephantiasis, continues to affect the health and livelihoods of hardworking rural communities. Yet, with the right awareness, timely medication, and strong community participation, this preventable disease can be eliminated. In this episode, we are joined by Manmohan Singh, CEO, Aspirational Bharat Collaborative, Piramal Foundation, who shares insights on how Piramal Foundation approaches filaria elimination, how this effort aligns with its larger vision, and what meaningful change looks like when communities lead the way. The conversation explores why eliminating filaria is not just a public health priority but also essential for social and economic development; how community-driven program design transforms outcomes on the ground; what impact looks like beyond numbers and coverage; and how leadership support strengthens long-term public health initiatives.
