1. Intermittent Fasting

“I do intermittent fasting, so I don't eat anything in the morning because my last meal is at 7-7:30 in the night,” Malaika told Times of India. “So, I fast for about 16 to 18 hours. I start my day with a lot of liquids, which is warm water, ghee or coconut oil, in the morning. The liquid could be whatever you like--plain water, jeera water, or water with lime. I do all of that in the morning and I break my fast with nuts--walnuts and a mix of nuts that I have.” She eats two meals a day. “I have a proper full lunch, which includes a bit of carbs and good fats. I have something for snacks in the evening--a very light, healthy snack. And I have my dinner by 7 pm. So, it can be a little of everything--vegetables, or if you're a meat-eater then meat, eggs, or a bit of legumes or lentils. I divide it and make sure to try and have as wholesome a meal as possible. And that's it. I don't have anything after 7 pm,” she told Times of India.

2. Exercise

“I believe in having a routine which I choose to follow on a regular basis,” Malaika told News 18. “I start my day with a good morning session of yoga and then I step outside to do a mix of other fitness activities as well like HIIT, walking, running, swimming and so on. Walking is a great way to improve and maintain your overall health and I make sure I do it for at least 30 minutes a day.”

3. Yoga

“My favorite exercise is doing yoga as I always begin my day with it. I usually dedicate 60 minute in a day for exercising,” Malaika told News 18. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

4. Walking

“Walking is a risk-free form of exercise that helps you to maintain your overall health,” Malaika explained to News 18. “When I feel I have put on a little weight, I feel walking is an effective way to reduce that weight and I have also seen a lot of toning in my legs and overall body while I indulge in walking as a regular fitness exercise.”

5. The 70/30 Rule

Malaika eats healthy – most of the time. “For achieving a fit body and mind, I believe eating right is the best way to maintain your health. The balance should be 30 percent exercise to 70 percent diet in order to achieve the body you wish for,” Malaika has said. “If one wishes to follow a particular and strict diet, then they should always consult a doctor or a trainer and set up a diet best suited for their body.”

Kapoor has been in the public eye for decades—here’s how this mother-of-two stays fit and beautiful.

1. Daily Meditation

Khan meditated every day. “I start my day with the practice of oil pulling with coconut oil even before I brush my teeth,” she told ZeeZest. “It has numerous health benefits. In the meantime, I check my phone. After brushing my teeth I splash some cold water on my face to freshen up and meditate. I try to fit some sort of workout right at the beginning of my day with yoga or gym—but it really depends on what I am feeling like.”

2. Pilates and Weight Lifting

Khan stays active through a variety of different workouts. “It is really important to keep your body active every day,” she told Lifestyle Asia. “Even during my pregnancy, I found ways to keep working like yoga, walking, light weight lifting, and Pilates. Apart from that, a healthy but sustainable diet is crucial. You should be able to enjoy your food and not fall into fad diets.”

3. Healthy Eating Mantra

Khan is passionate about the power of healthy food. “It is important to have a balanced and nutritious diet, not just for your skin but overall health,” she told ZeeZest. “I strongly recommend including more whole foods in your diet, cutting down on processed foods, sugary foods and drinks, and alcohol. Definitely eat more fruits and vegetables, combine fiber-rich foods with good sources of protein like eggs, dairy, nuts, and beans, complex carbohydrates like whole grains, and healthy fats. One should also eat small meals and control portion sizes.”

4. Family Time

Khan loves to wind down with quality family time in the fresh air. “I stay motivated through connecting with my friends, fans, and my family,” she told Lifestyle Asia. “It’s nice to take a walk with my kids or spend some time outside with my friends and family.”

5. That Yoga Glow

Khan swears by yoga’s benefits not just for health and wellness but for beauty, too. “I truly believe that your overall health really shows up on your face,” she told ZeeZest. “Yoga has been such a great way for me to work out because it brings you calm and peace. These things really help your skin glow too.”

And it can improve your quality of life," says the Mayo Clinic. "Aerobic exercise also keeps your mind sharp. Regular physical activity may help protect memory, reasoning, judgment and thinking skills (cognitive function) in older adults. It may also improve cognitive function in children and young adults. It can even help prevent the onset of dementia and improve cognition in people with dementia."

1. She Got Through COVID By Eating Right

Arora was diagnosed with COVID in 2020 and it hit her hard. She turned to nutrition as fuel. "The only way I could keep myself fuelled was with my diet. This was when I realized it doesn’t matter how much you exercise and have a fabulous body until and unless you are not fit from the inside, nothing matters," she told Zoom.

2. She Does Yoga

Malaika does yoga every morning. “Yoga has been shown to have significant health benefits for many patients, including the potential for a substantive antihypertensive effect,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Most patients should be able to safely participate in yoga and thus benefit from the potentially salutary effects of this ancient practice.” It continued: “The present issue of the Proceedings contains a systematic review and meta-analysis by Wu et al3 demonstrating that yoga practiced regularly each week can substantially reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and that such reductions are augmented when yoga is combined with breathing exercises and meditation. Yoga can also improve one’s overall fitness by increasing flexibility, balance, proprioception, and muscle strength.”

3. This is Her Workout Routine

“I start my day with a good morning session of yoga and then I step outside to do a mix of other fitness activities as well like HIIT, walking, running, swimming and so on. Walking is a great way to improve and maintain your overall health and I make sure I do it for at least 30 minutes a day,” she told IANSLife.

Start out warming up with a five-minute, slower paced walk. Slow your pace to cool down during the last five minutes of your walk,” says the Mayo Clinic.

"So when I was diagnosed with COVID-19 in the month of September 2020 I felt my entire world had come to a standstill. I was isolated from my family which put me in an emotional pit and the situation faced by the people around me made me even more anxious than ever. But there was one thing which kept me going - the hope that one day everything will be alright and we will all get through this tough time together," she told Zoom.
