Say no aerated drinks and stop taking shortcuts with food, insists fitness-savvy Shilpa Shetty KundraThere is no denying that if there is one Bollywood actress who has maintained herself since the beginning of her career, it’s been Shilpa Shetty Kundra. The Chura Ke Dil Mera girl seems to get even more gorgeous with every passing year. So, it wasn’t a surprise to many when her debut book The Great Indian Diet became a best-seller. A fitness and yoga enthusiast, Shetty Kundra has publicly spoken about the need for a healthy diet and regular exercise on various fora. At one such event for #SmallStepsToHealthyHeart initiative by Saffola life, the actress shared a few basic things she does to ensure a healthy diet for herself and family. She categorically spoke against aerated drinks, urging people to not only keep kids away from them, but also keep off themselves. She emphatically said that she was against the consumption of such cold drinks, adding she’d seen many cases of cancer in her own family that though may not have been solely caused by such drinks, but they were definitely a factor. She went on to ask people to embrace Indian food habits and diets. Shetty Kundra spoke at length about how she’s seen Indians adopt Western food and cooking practices as opposed to traditional Indian ones that are increasingly gaining popularity in the West. The 41-year-old actress referred to Madonna preferring ghee and Victoria Beckham using coconut oil, as opposed to Indians now preferring to cook in olive oil over indigenous products. Rubbishing all suggestions that she doesn’t like food, the yoga enthusiast said that not only did she love food, but also loved cooking. Her only motto was “to eat right food at right time and in the right way.” Expounding on the shortcuts people take in today’s fast-paced life, the Phir Milenge star advised mothers to avoid “easy fixes” especially for their kids and urged them not to feed packaged meals to the young ones. “The advantage of being Indian is that our meals can’t be cooked in very little time, so if you just use your brain a little, with a small lifestyle shift this can be easily achieved.” Highlighting the benefits of chewing one’s food properly, she said, “If you chew your food well, you nearly lose 12 kilos a year!” Pushing for the fact that eating healthy and being happy is a proper way to live life, the Hollywood diva said, “We just lead our life in the old way”, suggesting that our earlier generations lived a better life than what we live now.
