If you've seen a recent photo of Preity Zinta and her enviable figure, you won't be surprised to learn that the nearly-50-year-old actor has a disciplined exercise and diet regimen. In an interview with Vogue India earlier this year, Preity shared her approach to wellness and fitness.
Here's what you need to know about her diet and fitness secrets, reports Hindustan Times.
Preity is a fan of Pilates
Via her Instagram account, Preity often shares glimpses into her intense workouts. Her go-to exercise is Pilates, which involves repetitive exercises performed on a mat or other equipment to promote stability and flexibility. It is an approach that is especially useful for building core strength.
“I love to try different things to stay fit but Pilates is always my favourite…” she wrote in the caption of a recent Instagram post.
'Sleep is very important'
Preity's diet secrets are all about balance and healthy choices. She told Vogue India, “Portion control is very important, there is nothing more anti-ageing and healthy than working out and oh, sleep is very important.”
The actor likes to keep things simple and warns against following food fads. She said, “This whole thing of ‘Don’t eat,’ it’s not fitness.”
What is portion control?
Portion control is a method of eating where one consumes a specific amount of food while being conscious about the calorie intake. Back in 2022, nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar took to Instagram to encourage her followers to eat correctly.
4 tips to eat the right amount of food
Sit down every time you are eating: Sitting down helps you relax and pay attention to your appetite.
Eat with all of your senses: Mindful eating is quite healthy as you pay attention to every morsel and how your food is making you feel.
Eat slowly: Eating slowly means chewing your food properly which not only aids digestion but also helps you receive signals of satiety and prevent overeating.
Eat at least one meal every week by yourself: When you eat in the company of others, you are influenced by what they are eating and you are also not paying attention to your food.
