Happy birthday, Saif Ali Khan! Here's how he stays fit
Saif Ali Khan, the "Nawab of Bollywood," is known for his disciplined lifestyle that contributes massively to his overall fitness and health. Even at 53, the actor flaunts an age-defying physique, enough to give many youngsters a run for their money. As Khan celebrates his birthday today, let us check out his go-to exercises, diet preferences, and everything else that keeps him fit.
Khan does a combination of cardio, strength training, functional training
Khan isn't an absolute gym freak but when he hits the gym (which is almost daily), he indulges in a combination of cardio, strength training, and functional training. Per reports, his workout routine includes cycling, swimming, running, and weight lifting. He also practices yoga and meditation to keep both his physical as well as mental health in good shape.
Walking is a great full-body exercise, says the actor
During an interview with Indian Express, the Race lead said "Walking is a great form of full-body exercise and it's an indispensable part of my fitness routine." He says that he often puts on his walking shoes, plugs in some good music, and heads to the streets for a hearty walk. "Walking isn't only physically rewarding but also a great stress reliever," he added.
The 'Jawaani Jaaneman' dreamboat says no to carbs and sugar
If sources are to be believed, Khan steers clear of carbs and sugar. He also doesn't eat junk or processed foods. The actor relishes a diet rich in proteins and healthy fats and enjoys home-cooked dishes. The Kurbaan hero also savors a lot of fruits, vegetables, salads, nuts, and seeds throughout the day, especially as mid-day or late-evening snacks.
Here's what his meals contain
The Sacred Games actor has basic dal, roti, sabzi, dahi, and papad most of the time since he strictly consumes homecooked food. For breakfast, he has oatmeal with skimmed milk and a few fruits. On certain occasions, he eats seasonal salad and noodles for lunch. For proper calorie intake, he has his portion sizes in place that keep him from overeating and undereating.
