Mumbai’s film world is notorious for erratic schedules, yet director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri stays in top shape through a disciplined yet effortless routine he calls ‘Sattvic Life.’ Forget fad diets; his method is rooted in science and ancient wisdom, focusing on anti-inflammatory living.
In a candid chat, Vivek broke it down: Sattvic means harmony with your body. Ditch processed, spicy junk that triggers inflammation. Opt for plant-based wholesomeness—fresh produce, whole grains, legumes. ‘Global research, including 40-year studies by experts, proves this is optimal health,’ he emphasized.
Fasting fits seamlessly. He eats dinner early, skips breakfast, allowing 12-16 hours for bodily repair—a practice passed down generations. Yoga’s true essence, per Vivek, is ultimate comfort. He lives by two rules: Sattvic nutrition and comfortable being, slashing unnecessary wants.
Minimalism extends beyond food. His wardrobe is sparse; purchases are need-based. Books are his passion—he collects, reads, and now shares them generously. ‘Control your mind, and health follows,’ he advised. Vivek’s story shows how simple shifts can conquer modern health woes, blending tradition with evidence-based choices.
