Saumya Tandon is a stickler for good habits. Quitting sugar, sleeping early, staying active — time and again, the television actor has shared the secrets to her beauty and radiant glow. In a recent Instagram post, Tandon shared that she rarely goes on diets and instead swears by certain health hacks to stay on top of her health.“You are what you eat. And since all keep saying I diet or ask what I eat to stay fit (slim, etc), I actually never diet, I have a few good habits which help me,” she mentioned in the caption of her Instagram post, stating the 5 hacks that transformed the quality of her life.1. One tablespoon of ghee with turmeric and black pepper powderAman Puri, Founder, Steadfast Nutrition, told indianexpress.com that a combination of ghee and turmeric can work wonders for the gut. “Turmeric possesses anti-inflammatory properties, and ghee provides lubrication to the body, which helps clear metabolic waste and prevents constipation by expelling toxins from the body. Chronic inflammation can trigger cardiovascular problems (diabetes, hypertension, heart stroke), certain cancers, and knee and joint pain,” she shared.According to him, a teaspoon of ghee with a pinch of turmeric can soothe inflammation. He added that since our bodies do not readily absorb curcumin, adding black pepper powder to the combination helps.2. One big glass of lukewarm water with grated ginger“Ginger is a super-spice, which means it is loaded with nutrients ranging from vitamins A, C and E and some antioxidants. It is also rich in minerals like magnesium, potassium, copper, to name a few,” said Puri. When they all come together in a drink, they give the body a big immunity boost and keep it hydrated. This potent drink is also great for fighting the common cold and a mild cough. Saumya has ghee and haldi every day (Source: Freepik)3. No sugar, honey, and jaggery everWhen you quit sugar, people experience weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and more stable energy levels. “Skin may appear clearer, mood swings reduce, and gut health often improves due to a better microbiome balance. Oral health also benefits, with reduced risk of tooth decay,” he added.4. Protein-rich diet and including nuts throughout the dayDr Shuchin Bajaj, founder-director, Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals, added that protein supports muscle growth, repair, and maintenance, aids weight management by promoting satiety, and contributes to the production of enzymes and hormones. Achieving a well-rounded protein intake involves diversifying your protein sources. Regularly consuming nuts, as they are a powerhouse of nutrients, helps improve your memory, digestion, and energy levels.Story continues below this adALSO READ | Sonali Bendre says she eats an early dinner, opens up about cancer scare: ‘After that, people eat, and if I have to sit with them’5. Finish dinner before 7 pm“Eating dinner early allows your body more time to digest the food before you go to bed. This can help prevent issues like acid reflux or indigestion that may arise when you lie down with a full stomach,” he said, adding that when you eat earlier, your digestive system can work more efficiently, breaking down and absorbing nutrients effectively.DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.
