Malaika Arora indulges in midnight snacking; a sneak peek at the healthy chips she enjoys

In a recent podcast with Soha Ali Khan, the actress, who defies age with her fit body and glowing skin, stated that sleep, nutrition, and mental health are most important to her for a healthy life.

Sharing her thoughts on the show about the myth surrounding carbs, Malaika said cutting carbs depletes your energy, leads to hair fall, fainting, and renders you incapable of working.

“You need to have a little bit of everything. I believe in portion control. I have done this my entire life. I eat in a katori. You could have 3–4 meals but that’s how much you should eat. Also, I finish my meals by sunset,” she said.

While Malaika has always been open about her intermittent fasting, detox drinks, and the foods she enjoys, she also often encourages her fans on Instagram to follow a healthy lifestyle and exercise.

She recently posted a reel showing fans how to lose belly fat with four powerful exercises and captioned it, “Strong core, zero equipment — just your mat and these exercises.”

The routine included four crunches — knee-to-elbow crunch, boat pose crunch, V-hold, and ankle tuck crunch. The exercises targeted different parts of the body, such as the upper and lower abs, while strengthening the core and back.
