Honey-Lime Water
Khan starts every day with a glass of warm water, honey, and lemon/lime. "Drinking tea or warm lemon water mixed with honey is a time-honored way to soothe a sore throat," says Pritish K. Tosh, MD. "But honey alone may be an effective cough suppressant, too. In one study, children ages 1 to 5 with upper respiratory tract infections were given up to 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) of honey at bedtime. The honey seemed to reduce nighttime coughing and improve sleep."
Low Carb, High Protein Diet
Khan prefers a low-carb high protein diet to feel her best. "My diet mainly consists of low carbs and high proteins, which I strictly follow!" she says. "And only Sunday lunch is a cheat meal for me where I eat anything and everything I like, depending on my mood and craving."
She's a Fitness Freak
Khan has developed a sincere appreciation for the gym. "In just a matter of a couple of years, I have become what you may say a fitness freak," she says. "When I have a lighter week work-wise, I usually go to the gym everyday and when I am shooting back-to-back or traveling, I at least try to reach the door of the gym 3-4 times a week".
Works Out Six Days a Week
Khan works out six days a week, enjoying a variety of different exercises. "I make it a point to work out 6 days a week for 1 hour at least," she says. "My main workout regime includes a mix of weight training, functional training, kickboxing as well as TRX exercises, for the upper body which targets the back, abs, shoulders, and biceps. I am mainly into hardcore weight training, functional fitness, core strengthening, kickboxing which is a great form of keeping fit according to me, as well as increasing your energy levels, and calisthenics as well which is a type of body weight training. Also, HIIT (high-intensity interval training) & TRX."
Green Tea Throughout the Day
Khan drinks plenty of green tea, which has many health benefits. "Green tea is exceptionally high in flavonoids that can help boost your heart health by lowering bad cholesterol and reducing blood clotting," says Penn Medicine. "Studies show this type of tea can also help lower blood pressure, triglycerides and total cholesterol. Other research has found that green tea has a possible impact on liver, breast, prostate and colorectal cancers. This tea variety has also shown to be anti-inflammatory, which helps keep your skin clear and glowing."
