Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, celebrated not just for his cinematic versatility but also for his unwavering discipline, recently opened up about his health regimen during a media interaction held at the launch of Your Body Already Knows.
The actor shared a simple yet impactful health tip that he claims is key to keeping illnesses at bay: having dinner at 6:30 PM every evening.
Akshay Kumar reveals why he eats dinner at 6:30 pm every day; says, ‘you get your time to digest your food and the stomach is completely ready to rest’Explaining his logic, Akshay Kumar said, ‘6:30 baje khana kyun ek toh sabse important hai, aapke shareer ke liye sabse zyaada important hai, kyunki hum jab raat ko so jaate hain, our eyes are resting, our legs are resting, our hands are resting. Every part of our body is resting. But what is not resting is your stomach because we have eaten food late.’
He continued, ‘By the time you get up, it is time for him to relax. But when we get up we eat our breakfast and again the poor stomach is working. It’s working very hard. I’m explaining it in a very very simple way. And you all know, aap sabhi jaante hain ki jo pet hai, wohi ek sabse, matlab, jitni bhi bimariyaan hoti hain woh sab wahi se aati hain.’
Adding further, Akshay emphasized the importance of digestive well-being for overall health, ‘So it is important. I think saare shareer ke andar agar aap sabse zyaada dhyaan apne pet ka rakhenge, I think bimariyaan aapke nazdeek nahi aayengi. Toh yahi main humesha follow karta hun. Toh 6:30 baje khana isliye zaroori hai kyunki you get your time to digest your food and by the time when you are about to sleep by 9-9:30, 10 o clock, the stomach is completely ready to rest and that’s it.’
On the work front, the fitness-conscious actor is currently gearing up for Jolly LLB 3, in which he reunites with Arshad Warsi, and continues to maintain his status as one of Bollywood’s most disciplined performers.
