Hello Twitter fam! No Gods, No Gurus - A Radical Guide to your Wellbeing Excited to share my latest book and labour of love, addressing all your burning questions on health and wellbeing with a science-backed, easy to read, practical approach. Out on Dec 2 | Preorder ⬇️

@lavsmohan I saw a very good reel on why not recycle bottles to make bottles and keep them in a closed loop? Why make them into clothes which are way tougher to recycle than bottles ultimately leading them into landfills

@saffrontrail recycled plastic bottles imported from china

Athleisure brands are like, please pay 3000 rs for 100 grams of recycled plastic bottles. Is there a single brand which is not into this scam?

@ku1deep obviously that 3000 includes margin, tailoring, branding etc.

@saffrontrail 😢 cmon now now that just bait. Recycled Polyester is actually more expensive about 500 for a tshirt worth. There is tailoring and margin over that.

A good rule for Twitter health: If you use your real name, And your real face, On your Twitter? Never, ever engage with someone who doesn't use their own name + face on their Twitter.

@vikasblk @Wellbi_in only for men, dont see it for women

@ku1deep I don’t feel “breathable” coming from plastic bottled :) although I do get the knit/weave/drape argument

That’s over simplifying and leading everyone in the wrong direction. Breathability comes from the knit/weave and the drape (kurtas breath better than corsets); the material has impact on thermal properties, microbial affinity, and mechanical considerations. I won’t argue for polyester but if we are going to have polyesters might as well have it recycled.

Why would anyone want to buy “breathable” gym wear made from recycled plastic bottles? How is that even going to be breathable?

@Bengalururain @Vikrchan Well we’ve been hearing of thunderstorms everyday- it’s just getting more and more humid and intolerably hot. Clearly no one is getting the predictions right

Massive thunderstorms are arriving in parts of West Bengaluru. Rainfall activity will start in north, northwest, west, and southwest Bengaluru from 3:30 pm onwards. Remain watchful and avoid unnecessary travel between 3-7 pm.

@godbole_shilpa @akkiman

@akkiman Why not? :) women are making everything out of paithanis .. why should the men get to wear our cultural weave.

Just one question. Why?

@ikaveri Why the hurry to do a 30 second photo shoot? 😀

Is he real?

@ku1deep Which brand is this Sorry I can’t see that on the packaging

There is always something willing to improve bread by slicing it. Just received these samples. Adding eggs or TVP to dal and rice already seems like a reasonable solution but this seems to make it more convenient. This does address some of the nitpicks people have with dal rice meals. Soy protein isolate instead of defatted Soy. Lower GI on the rice (I have no idea how to test this claim) , better carbs to protein ratio (2X better probably) , better bioavailability etc etc. this should also slightly lower in calories but I am just going to use that as an excuse to add even more Parmigiano or Ghee 😅 As to the question of why? I have been trying to ensure that my typical meals have more protein. I don’t mind whey , ultra filtered milk , protein bars etc. I just want most of my protein to come from my regular meals and I grew up desi North Indian farmer vegetarian. It has been really difficult to switch to eating animal proteins other than Dairy. I find myself unable to switch. So back to Dal rice roti paneer we go.
