Recently, the ‘Citadel Honey Bunny’ actress held an interactive Q&A session on Instagram. While people were appreciating her, talking about her skin care and more, someone asked her to “bulk up.” She responded with a video message that read, “Another weight comment.” I saw a whole thread about my weight. If you must know, I follow a strict anti-inflammatory diet that is necessary for my condition, which prevents me from gaining weight, keeps me in a certain weight range, and keeps me in an optimal spot with my condition (myositis). Stop judging people. Let them be, live and let live. Please guys, it’s 2024.”
In an interview with Galatta India, Vidya Balan also shared her weight loss diet routine. He partnered with a nutritional group called Amura (Amura Health) in Chennai. Speaking about losing weight without exercise, the actress said: “They said, ‘It’s just inflammation; He’s not fat.’ So they put me on a diet to eliminate inflammation, it is called elimination of inflammation, and it worked very well for me and the weight was like that because they eliminated the foods that did not suit me. I have been a vegetarian all my life, I didn’t (yet) know that palak and doodhi (spinach and pumpkin) don’t suit me. We believe that all vegetables are good for us, but that is not the case. You have to find out what is good for you, because just because it is good for someone else, it may not be good for you,” he said.
What is the Anti-inflammatory Diet?
Inflammation is basically the body’s natural response to fight infections, diseases, etc. However, experiencing chronic inflammation can lead to several health problems, such as heart problems, cancer, diabetes, and also weight gain. Switching to certain dietary tips and changes can help reduce inflammation and also help you lose weight.
Anti-inflammatory diet can consist of nutrient-rich foods rich in antioxidants as they help free radicals reduce oxidative stress in the body. There is no single diet to follow. There are certain rules to help with your weight loss routine.
Stay away from ultra-processed foods high in carbohydrates. Avoid consuming sugary foods, baked goods, processed meats, sauces, etc.
So what should you eat? To combat inflammation, consider opting for sugar-free foods, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, low-fat dairy, olive oil, unprocessed foods, etc. Spices such as cinnamon, ginger and turmeric also have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects that could help improve health.
This is general information about the anti-inflammatory diet, but what may work for one may not work for another. Therefore, it is better to consult a professional and draw up an eating plan that suits the needs of each person.
