Fitness, good diet and mental health have become important topics of discussion in the recent past, given the role they play in helping us lead a holistic and balanced life. Initiatives like the World Yoga Day have seen mass yoga demonstrations, with millions of people across the world coming together to practice several asanas. In that context, Klapboardpost.com took opinions from a couple of celebrities about the importance of yoga and food in their lives.
Soha Ali Khan went onto share, “Yoga is one of my most preferred forms of exercise – as it has a positive impact on the body as well as the mind. To complement my yoga routine, I also follow a healthy diet and ensure eating a handful of almonds every day. They are Sattvic foods, and are a source of 15 key nutrients like protein, Vitamin E, magnesium etc. Additionally, almonds provide energy and also help in toning all body tissues.”
Emphasising on the need to combine fitness with a healthy diet, fitness enthusiast, actor and model Milind Soman, said, “I am a firm believer in the power of Yoga, and make it a part of my activity. But I also believe it’s equally important to practice conscious and healthy eating to reap the best benefits of your exercise. I prefer snacking on healthier foods like almonds, instead of unwholesome or fried snacks. They are a great snack to consume in between meals.”
