1. Maintain a Meat-Free Diet
Amala’s diet is very holistic and doesn’t involve any meat. “I grow tomatoes, spinach and melons, a pepper vine climbs my coconut tree. I have a home and kitchen of my own. I’ve turned vegetarian and am on an ayurvedic diet,” she told The Hindu. "Plant-based diets carry some risk of inadequate protein, vitamin, and mineral intake. But these risks are readily overcome by choosing the right vegetarian foods and, when necessary, supplements. For example, soy, quinoa, and nuts are good sources of protein, and tofu, lentils, and spinach are good sources of iron," says Harvard Health.
2. Surf
Amala is an avid surfer. “I go to the beach every day, and I feel the creative energy of Auroville,” she told The Hindu, adding that the sport is a “vital part” of her lifestyle. “The waves were pretty rough, but I did not feel like getting out of the water,” she said.
3. Do Yoga
“Earlier, yoga was just exercise; now, I know it can help me progress in life,” Amala told The Hindu about why she is devoted to her practice Right now, I’m the unofficial brand ambassador of yoga, trekking and conscious living.” Per the American Osteopathic Association, the majority of the 100 practices of yoga include breathing exercises, meditation, and assuming postures (sometimes called asana or poses) that stretch and flex various muscle groups.“The relaxation techniques incorporated in yoga can lessen chronic pain, such as lower back pain, arthritis, headaches and carpal tunnel syndrome,” Natalie Nevins, DO, a board-certified osteopathic family physician and certified Kundalini Yoga instructor in Hollywood, California, explained to them. “Yoga can also lower blood pressure and reduce insomnia.”

“Trekking,” aka hiking, is a big part of Amala’s life. Some of the physical benefits of going for a hike include building stronger muscles and bones, improving sense of balance and heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study. “Beauty at its best. Simply in awe,” she captioned this photo from one of her treks.
