On International Yoga Day, Akshay Kumar shared a fitness tip that quickly gained traction on social media. It was not a complicated diet regimen or an intense gym routine; the actor pointed to one straightforward daily habit that he has personally maintained for years and credits for his fitness even at the age of 58.
Dinner by 6:30 PM Can Improve Health by 40 Percent
Akshay Kumar told people that if they eat their dinner between 6:00 and 6:30 in the evening, they can see up to a 40 percent improvement in their overall health. He added with a laugh that this single change alone could help people slim down. He mentioned that people regularly come to him with the same complaint that their weight refuses to budge despite all their efforts, and his answer is always the same.
Eating at 10 PM and Wondering Why the Weight Won't Shift
Speaking in a lighthearted tone, Akshay said he has never been able to figure out why people eat so late at night. He pointed out that many people sit down for dinner at 10:00 or 10:30 PM and then wonder why they are unable to lose weight. In his view, late-night eating is one of the main reasons behind weight gain, regardless of what else a person does to stay fit.
Discipline Is the Real Secret
At 58, Akshay Kumar remains one of Bollywood's fittest stars, and he attributes this not to any expensive or complicated method but to consistent discipline. He wakes up every morning at 5 AM to practice yoga and goes to sleep by 9 PM. He has said repeatedly that good habits matter more than costly fitness solutions, and his physique at his age speaks for itself. This is also why he continues to give younger actors a tough run for their money when it comes to fitness.
What Karan Johar Revealed
Karan Johar had brought up Akshay Kumar's eating habits on 'Koffee with Karan', revealing that Akshay stays away from Bollywood parties largely because he dislikes eating late. Karan said that on the rare occasions Akshay does attend a party, he makes sure to eat at home before going. Karan also shared that Akshay tends to go to sleep early even at his own parties.
What He Is Working On
On the film front, Akshay Kumar recently appeared in 'Bhoot Bangla', which marked his reunion with director Priyadarshan after a gap of 14 years. The two have delivered several blockbuster comedies together in the past. 'Bhoot Bangla' also featured Asrani, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Tabu, and the film earned a positive response from audiences at the box office.
