Ghee, Yoga & Glow: Shilpa Shetty’s Secret Recipe for Timeless Fitness

Bollywood icon Shilpa Shetty has turned 50, yet her youthful energy and toned physique continue to inspire millions. Marking her milestone birthday, Shetty has revealed her holistic approach to fitness, blending traditional wisdom with modern wellness practices. Here’s a real-time newsletter capturing her key fitness secrets:

 

Key Highlights:

 

Morning Rituals: Shilpa starts her day with a glass and a half of lukewarm water, followed by four drops of Noni juice for an energy boost. She also practices oil pulling with coconut oil for oral and gut health.

 

Simple Morning Drink: She sometimes adds ghee to warm water in the morning, claiming it aids metabolism and supports gut health. Occasionally, turmeric, dry ginger (saunth), and black pepper are added for an anti-inflammatory kick.

 

Breakfast Philosophy: Skipping breakfast is a strict no. Her go-to options include muesli with fruits and almond milk, or eggs, ensuring a protein-rich start for sustained energy.

 

Ghee with Lunch: Ghee is a staple in her lunch, promoting healthy fats for skin elasticity and satiety. She prefers wholesome Indian meals—roti, sabzi, and dal—emphasizing moderation over restriction.

 

Balanced Diet: She advocates for a diet rich in proteins, complex carbohydrates, fiber, and healthy fats, steering clear of processed foods and sugar-laden drinks.

 

Functional Fitness: Her workouts blend yoga, bodyweight exercises, and compound movements like kettlebell swings, focusing on mobility, core strength, and flexibility. She recommends 30-minute sessions, 3-4 times a week.

 

Yoga and Mindfulness: A certified yoga practitioner, Shilpa practices Ashtanga and Vinyasa flows, along with pranayama and meditation, to enhance both physical and mental wellness.

 

Hydration and Snacking: She drinks 2.5 liters of water daily and opts for light broths or dry fruits in the evening, limiting carbs at night.

 

Mindset Matters: Her mantra—“Swasth Raho, Mast Raho” (Stay Healthy, Stay Happy)—reflects her belief in consistency, gratitude, and mindful indulgence for long-term wellness.
