Bollywood star Deepika Padukone, known for her fitness and wellness advocacy, has recently shared her thoughts on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Currently pregnant with her first child with husband Ranveer Singh, Deepika has always prioritized balance, not just in her diet but also in exercise, mental health, and overall well-being.
In a candid Instagram post, Deepika shared a picture of various snacks and desserts with a caption addressing common misconceptions about diets. She wrote, "Surprised to see this on my feed? Well, I eat! And I eat well! Ask anyone who knows me. So don't believe anything else you might hear or read. The trick? Balance, Consistency and Listening to YOUR Body." She emphasized that the term 'diet' is often misunderstood to mean starvation or deprivation, whereas it actually refers to the total of all food and drink consumed by an individual. The word 'diet' originates from the Greek word "diaita," meaning "way of life."

She believes in occasional indulgence but maintains that this should not define one's lifestyle. Reflecting on the saying, "you are what you eat," Deepika shared that her approach to food and wellness has been about finding a sustainable balance.

Deepika’s message underscores the significance of a balanced, consistent approach to health and wellness, advocating for a holistic 'diaita' or way of life, as the Greeks would say. Her insights serve as valuable advice for anyone looking to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
With her realistic and practical approach to wellness, Deepika Padukone continues to inspire many.
