Aparnaa Bajpai Instagram – Fun fact about me 😛 Almost 10 years back I stayed on almost all raw foods for a complete year or a little more. I haven’t been able to come around to this lifestyle since then. Raw foods are extremely beneficial when it comes to retaining the nutrients of the food which is lost while overcooking the food. I was my healthiest self at that point of time and after that my journey with food has been of a love & hate relationship. During my acting days, to match up with the skinny trends & avoid my chubby cheeks to show on the screen; I really went yo-yo-ing and developed this unhealthy pattern of using food as either a comfort or a punishment to my mental state in that current situation. Yoga & Traveling are 2 things which made me look at food either as nourishment for the body or a treat for the soul. I stopped looking at food as a mode of happiness or entertainment. I am glad my relationship with food has become the best I have ever known but it’s not always that easy to maintain a healthy lifestyle when you are surrounded by plethora of wrong foods & wrong information. I am slowly coming around & sticking to healthier foods by eliminating all processed & packaged stuff & introducing more of a satvik lifestyle to my yogic one:) PS: I am not going raw but maintaining a healthy balance of consuming foods in most natural forms. One big credit for this goes to @satvicmovement for re-introducing healthy ways of preparing food at home. – Also, the smoothie bowl shown in the pic has beetroot, banana & green apple in it. Cheers to whoever is making a healthy change. Change is good✨
