As she celebrates her 50th birthday, Malaika Arora is not only renowned for her ageless style but also for her down-to-earth attitude towards fitness. In a recent podcast, she revealed what keeps her charged up and fit and it's much less complicated than most realize.
Malaika maintains her wellness routine simple, centered around three fundamental pillars: proper sleep, plain nutrition, and close mind-body connection. To put it in her own words, "It's just age it doesn't define me. She emphasizes that if these three fundamentals are done correctly, rest of them automatically follows.
Her diet philosophy is based on home-style, healthy food. She does not believe in fad diets, however, and prefers moderation. "Ghee is my superfood," she revealed, going on to say she likes whole food rather than powders or supplements. After workouts, she grazes on foods such as toast, eggs, or dosas, or a protein shake she prepares herself to use bananas, dates, and nuts. Even when she is in a hurry, she takes healthy snacks along.

Movement must be empowering and fun for Malaika. She adds yoga particularly Surya Namaskar to start her day with peaceful energy. This is supplemented with spurts of HIIT-inspired exercises, strength training, Pilates, and body-weight exercises. Her motto? Don't starve your body but honor its requirement to move.
This is not about strict schedules, but about long-term habits. Malaika demonstrates that strict workout plans, and expensive diets are not necessary to remain radiant and vibrant, particularly at fifty. It's about being consistent, balanced, and knowing about your own speed.
