The traditional dishes that pregnant women eat for centuries

- Vibha Varshney

Love's Labour

EVERYONE WANTS the best for their child. For expectant mothers, this urge begins the moment she finds out that a baby is on the way. They get all kinds of advice from everyone—from their own mothers, relatives and friends—on what they should eat and what they should not. But in today’s times, pregnant women live far from the folds of their families and recommendations are not easily available. These suggestions were based on traditional knowledge honed by centuries of experimentation, and modern day doctors do not have the comparable experience.

Down To Earth

Are we beyond laws of evolution?

WE AS a society are disconnecting from nature. This is a truism for the human species. But how disconnected are we from nature, from where we evolved? On the face of it, this sounds like a philosophical question. Still, if one gets to measure this, which tool to use? Miles Richardson, a professor engaged in nature connectedness studies at the School of Psychology, University of Derby, UK, has published a study that attempts to measure this widening connection between humans and nature. His finding says that human connection to nature has declined 60 per cent since 1800.
