Earlier, Big B took to his blog to give a sneak peek into his routine after he wakes up. The actor shared that the first thing he eats after waking up is a few tulsi leaves. He also sometimes has a protein shake, dates, almonds, and coconut water. There are days when he consumes gooseberry juice and dates for breakfast. The actor, who once used to be a non-vegetarian, has now turned vegetarian and has given up sweets and rice to stay fit. "In my youth, I would eat, but now I have left eating non-veg dishes, sweet items, rice, and won't speak any further," Big B once revealed.
Avoiding sweets is a direct way of saying bye-bye to the chances of obesity. Furthermore, to ensure his body gets all the required nutrition, Big B eats a proper meal that includes dal, sabzi, and chapati. To stay hydrated, the Shahenshah of Bollywood keeps a check on his water intake. Though he monitors his daily meals, Big B still can't resist chaat. He has been very vocal about his undying love for chaat, and during one of the episodes of 'KBC', the 'Sholay' star revealed how he would visit the Delhi markets and relish different kinds of chaat.
Big B's workout routine includes mandatory time for yoga, especially pranayama. Even with his hectic schedule, Bachchan makes sure to take time for himself and practice yoga. Apart from yoga, his daily routine encompasses a variety of exercises, including light strength and weight training, jogging, and walking. Big B's dedication to keeping his body healthy is a reminder for all of us to stop making excuses and start looking after our physical as well as mental health.
