Bollywood hunk Akshay Kumar recently opened up about his routine for staying healthy, citing the significance of completing dinner at 6:30 PM and announcing he observes a fast on Mondays.
Speaking at the launch of a book, Akshay talked about why he practices so.
Why is 6.30 morning eating so necessary? It is very necessary for your body because when we sleep at night, our eyes are relaxed, our legs are relaxed, our hands are relaxed, every part of our body is relaxed," he said.
"But what is not relaxed is your stomach because we have eaten food late," he added.
He explained further, "By the time you wake up, it is his time to rest. But when we wake up, we take our breakfast and again the poor stomach is exerting… I am telling you in a very very simple manner and you all know, all the illnesses are born from there."
Akshay emphasized the need to take good care of the stomach for good health.
"Anyways, I believe the diseases won't reach you. So this is always what I practice. So it is necessary to eat at 6.30 because you get your time to digest food and by the time when you are going to sleep, by 9, 9.30, 10 o'clock, the stomach is fully ready to rest and that's all. So it is a very basic thing," he said.
He also shared his habit of fasting: "I fast on Mondays. Yes, full day fast. Sunday is the last meal and then after that Monday full day fast till Tuesday morning."
