Observing National Nutrition Week 1-7, 2025, Akhila Lakma, Sports Nutritionist at the Center for Spine and Sports Health had an opportunity to talk to The New Indian Express. As part of the conversation, she had shared few insightful inputs on Jordan Formula and mindful eating.

On potential side effects of mindful eating, the Sports Nutritionist expressed her views “there are no known side effects because there is little to no scientific evidence behind it. However, it can be confusing at first and may make people overly conscious about how much they are eating. Since it borders on restrictive eating, it may not suit pregnant or breastfeeding women, athletes, or those with clinical conditions. For some, it could work as a portion-control hack, but overall, being mindful – by eating without distractions, honouring your emotions, and truly listening to your body – is more effective than any counting method.
