00:30Anyone who is a mother will understand how I feel as a mom and I think my children's
00:55health is of topmost priority. It's uncompromisable. And considering I practice and preach a healthy
01:09lifestyle, I want to also inculcate the same habits in my children, you know, and it has
01:17to, while we can tell them that, isse khao, isse mat khao, kyu nahi khana chahiye, iska
01:24bhi pata huna chahiye bachon ko, bachpan se. So my son knows. So now when he picks up something,
01:29he first reads the back. So you know, label reading is so important. Yes, it's important
01:36to know what you're feeding your child because you are what you eat. And if you want a healthy
01:43future for your child, not just physically, but also mentally, you have to feed them
01:48the right stuff. And hence I choose, and the choice is really ours. You know, it's always
01:55the choice that we make. So it's important for their health.
02:00Well, I'm the one that's doing all the ordering. I could be anywhere. I, yes, I'm still a homemaker
02:11first, a mom first, a wife when I'm at home. And it's always my stressor that, oh my God,
02:24have my kids eaten their tiffin? I'm not there at home to check it, but I have proof. Do
02:29you have my phone right now, Anishe? So this is what I do, letting out some secrets. So
02:40what I do is, I get to know exactly how much my child has eaten and what he's eaten through
02:49photographs. This is what comes to me. Too good. Didi, Viyal ne itna khaya aaj. Didi,
03:00aaj usne chhod diya khana. Didi, kal se yeh nahi betege. So I have photographs of foods
03:11in his tiffin on an everyday basis and the same with my daughter. I know exactly what's going to
03:18school. I know what she's eating at snack time. I've made a timetable and it's a fortnightly
03:26timetable so that the foods don't get repeated. And I remember when I invest or even if I am
03:35endorsing, if I'm leveraging my name to a brand, I do a little bit of due diligence. I first take
03:42the product, first I label read. That's the first stage. And then after that, and also,
03:49you know, while we're paying emphasis today only on talking about how mums have to take cognizance
03:56and, you know, make sure that, you know, kids are eating healthy and all of that.
04:01This is not just about the kids. This is also for the mums to be healthy, all the women to be
04:05healthy. Do you all know that label reading is actually the easiest way to lose weight also?
04:12Because you know, the nutrients at the back of the bag, you know exactly what you want,
04:18how much you want and what you need to omit. Like, you know, high sugar foods, sodium,
04:25how much fibre you want in your food, how much protein there is in, you know, in a noodle
04:32packet or a cup of noodles. So I just think that you have to be aware and that is extremely
04:43important. The rest just falls into place. If you're just living and eating in awareness,
04:49half your battle is won there.
05:19So
