On today’s World Health Day, actor Sonu Sood, who is an inspiration to many with his impressive physique, said, “Fitness doesn’t just mean going to the gym and having a visible six pack.” No,” he emphasizes. Despite his toned appearance, Sood revealed that his journey was “not always muscular” and praised his dedication and Punjabi genes.
“I wasn’t that muscular during my college days…but I had a dedication. When I wanted to be an actor, I knew I had to stay fit. I went to Dei Nagpur I started working out when I was in the gym. From that day to this day, I have never missed a workout. I go to the gym every day. It’s like brushing your teeth. It happens automatically But health is certainly more than just muscles and abs,” says the 50-year-old, who will next be seen in the film Fateh.
Elaborating further, the actor emphasizes the importance of overall health. “Fitness is not just physical, it also includes mental agility. A healthy body makes you more efficient at work. Don’t just focus on your abs, it’s important to feel good. Mental fitness is mental health. In today’s context, mental health is equally important as physical health. ”
When it comes to social media’s impact on mental health, Sood advises striking a balance. “Nutrition and regular exercise are essential. Social media inundates us and affects our concentration and mental health. Disconnecting is important for self-care. The misconception people have is that a healthy body requires a non-vegetarian diet. I have been a vegetarian all my life.”
