  • Much food for thought

    Much food for thought
    2025/06/27
    "Our food has completely changed in the last 30 years. This has totally changed our gut physiology, our gut microbiome, and has caused silent inflammation in the gut. Issues like reflux and bloating are caused by a gut that isn't functioning well. Also, if you don't eat the right type of food, your body is incapable of making the neurological chemicals called neurotransmitters that are required for stable mental health. That correlation is not discussed in modern medicine though it is the cause, many times, of these mental health issues. Adding a drug is just symptomatically managing it. Instead of just depending on drugs and therapy, people can go back and connect it to what is wrong with what they are eating. When you trade nourishing food for, say, burgers and junk food and even things that aren't considered junk like white rice and wheat, you are nutritionally depleted. That's why people are unable to have robust systems physically and psychologically. The reason we are now seeing so many autoimmune diseases is because 70 percent of the immune system sits in the gut. If you're eating the wrong food, you're telling the immune system to keep its guns always at the ready. And so, the poor guy is always hyperactive and always creating a reaction instead of only being activated when there's a fungal or a bacterial infection. Food has a real connection to conditions like ADHD, Alzhiemers and bipolar disorders. All forms of mental health conditions are dependent on what you're eating. There is absolutely no denying that correlation." - Manjari Chandra, author, Brainwashed by your Gut talks to Manjula Narayan about everything from mindful eating and toxic foods to the uptick in PCOS among Indian women and the urgent need for the nation to fight conditions like diabetes and cancer.

  • The original mother of many tongues

    The original mother of many tongues

    "One thing that's become abundantly clear from the ancient DNA revolution of the last 10 years is how important migration has been in the history of our species. So, of course, there has been hybridisation, cultural, genetic, linguistic. There is no such thing as a pure people, pure culture, pure language. Genes, culture and language do not map neatly onto each other. This book was a huge amount of work because the only way you can tell the story of Proto Indo European [the ancestor of Latin and Sanskrit and their daughter languages including English, German, Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi and many, many others] is by combing the fields of linguistics, archeology and genetics. It's very fast moving and the point of writing the story now is that it's had this huge impetus from genetics" - Laura Spinney, author, Proto; How One Ancient Language Went Global talks to Manjula Narayan about the ancestor of the Indo European family of languages, the Yamnayas, the birth and death of languages, the great migrations out of the Steppes, the Harappan script, multiethnolects and why AI might be great for predicting language change Learn more about your ad choices.
