Shilpa Shetty to launch a health app

Mumbai, January 22: Actress Shilpa Shetty interacted with the media at the first edition of Hindustan Times Palate Festival on Sunday. She says that her health app will be launched in a couple of months. Shilpa revealed that she would launch her health app to guide her followers about health and fitness. "I am going to come with my health app in a couple months."

Asked what initiatives she has taken to promote health and fitness as a celebrity, she said: "I have my YouTube channel and I do healthy recipes on that channel. I hope I will touch that one million subscribers mark soon."

Shilpa said, "more than physical training, it was necessary to have a balanced diet for a person to live a healthy lifestyle."

"It s so important for everyone to know that nutrition plays such an important part in maintaining good health. I feel that is something most people don t understand. People think that it s just about working out. I keep emphasizing that it is 70 percent nutrition and 30 percent workout regime," she added.

Asked how she keeps herself incredibly fit, she said: "I think moderation is key to maintain anything whether it is fame or sanity or even health. I am someone who loves food and loves to live life to the fullest. For that, I have made a lifestyle modification and I prescribe the same to the others."

"I preach it because it has made a world of a difference to my life. I make sure that I don t eat anything refined like sugar, flour or white rice and I have switched to healthy alternatives like brown bread and brown rice. I eat my last meal around 7 to 7.30 at night and then I don t eat till my breakfast," she added.
