Rakul Preet Singh's 6-step morning water routine

Asked about essential superfoods for one's diet, Rakul Preet Singh endorsed ancient Indian remedies, highlighting their long-standing benefits. The actor said: “I am a very strong believer in Ayurveda. Now people are into moringa, which is drumsticks, an Indian food that has been there for ages. Even turmeric (haldi). Kalonji, or black cumin seed, is the best anti-inflammatory thing that you can ever have. Like I do kalonji in the morning, I do turmeric water in the morning. Then sauf (fennel) water. So it's like plain water, then celtic salt water (made by adding a pinch of salt to water), then saunf water, then turmeric water, and then my ghee coffee.”

'I can eat the same food every day'

Rakul Preet outlined her specific, consecutive morning routine focused on hydration and internal cleansing, involving a six-step process, although she admitted to occasionally alternating the middle steps. After her intensive hydration routine, Rakul Preet said she heads straight for her workout. Following the exercise, she keeps her breakfast simple, prioritising protein. The actor added that her diet was consistent and simple, with home-cooked Indian meals throughout the day.

Rakul Preet said, “I have a six-step water routine, but I also alternate when I can't. Then, I alternate between saunf water and turmeric water. The first glass is normal water, followed by sipping, then celtic salt water, and then one more saunf pani or something, and finally my ghee coffee. And then I work out on that, and then I have my breakfast. Breakfast is eggs. I love eggs, I can't live without eggs. So eggs and a gluten-free toast or egg and poha. I love poha. I can eat the same food every day. Give me a sabzi, dal, chicken, fish with rice or roti, and simple eggs for breakfast and a repeat of lunch for dinner – and I am good with that.”
