New Delhi: The Khiladi of Bollywood, actor Akshay Kumar is more than just a Hindi film star – he is a trained chef, a martial artist, and an icon for the youth. In several movies, when actors step aside for stuntmen to perform risky moves, the National Film Award decides to do it all by himself. A black belt holder in martial arts, Kumar is an inspiration for many. Contrary to most stars and their ways, he is rarely seen being part of late-night parties and events. Wondering why? The reason is his lifestyle. On Akshay Kumar’s 54^th birthday, we look at his inspiring healthy lifestyle.

Early to bed, early to rise: Be it in his appearances on television shows or interviews, Akshay Kumar several times talks about the importance of sleeping timely and waking up early. The actor often talks about being fond of his non-party loving lifestyle – and of course, early-to-bed, early-to-rise regime. The actor reportedly retires to bed at 9 pm and starts his day at 4.30-5 am.
Vegan by choice: A self-confessed foodie, Kumar does not deprive himself of anything. From carbohydrates to proteins to fats, he eats everything. But the best part is that he does not get any of his nutrients from dairy or meat – the actor is vegan by choice and relies only on plant-based foods.
No to protein shakes: Unlike most people who prefer protein shakes and supplements to meet their daily needs, Kumar relies on natural sources of the macronutrient. And what’s more, this strictness also contributes to his toned body in a more natural sustainable way. Instead of gulping protein shakes, he relies on plant-based sources of proteins.
Follower of Sattvic foods: Akshay Kumar strictly relies on homemade food and avoids extreme spices, garlic and onion. He avoids acidic foods and alternatively relies on seeds, nuts, sauteed vegetables and herbs. He also limits salt and sugar intake.
One hour of workout: Kumar also ensures that he works out atleast for one hour a day. What’s more, besides just keeping him fit, workouts keep the actor happy. Be it weight training or yoga, kickboxing or swimming, he does it all.

Now 54, no matter how hard it is to believe, we wish Akshay Kumar a long, healthy and prosperous life!
