Happy birthday, Harshvardhan Rane! Revealing the star's fitness secrets
What's the story
Harshvardhan Rane, recognized as one of Bollywood's most dashing men, has not just exhibited his acting talents but also mesmerized audiences with his physical prowess.
His commitment to a rigorous workout routine and disciplined diet offers valuable insights that can help you achieve a sculpted and toned physique akin to his.
On his birthday today, let's delve into the fitness secrets he swears by.
Diet
Rane follows a Paleo diet to remain fit
According to sources, Rane has been following a Paleo diet for the past five years.
For the uninitiated, processed foods, grains, and dairy products must be avoided as part of this diet.
He acknowledges that switching to a Paleo diet at first was difficult because he used to get frustrated easily. However, his body began to adjust to the shift gradually.
Food
Here's why the actor follows a Paleo diet
According to an ancient theory, humans primarily consumed vegetables and hunted meat until the necessity for greater food storage arose thousands of years later.
This demand led to the cultivation of grains. However, due to the course of human evolution, our bodies have not adapted to efficiently process the carbohydrates present in these grains. This insight drove him towards adopting the Paleo diet.
Motivation
He took guidance from John Abraham
When Rane entered Bollywood, he was instructed to get in shape and work out a lot.
The paleo diet was initiated by him after he followed John Abraham's advice. In place of rice and pizza bases, he primarily used cauliflower.
He also said that rather than overindulging in potatoes, rotis, or rice, he fills his stomach with animal proteins, veggies, and fruits.
Activities
The dreamboat spends time in nature for good mental health
When the Paltan star wants to unwind, he prefers to be in nature. He chooses to go camping occasionally and to spend time in his jeep on other occasions.
To live close to the natural world, he has also constructed a tree house in Mumbai.
Per sources, Rane is a minimalist as well, needing very little in life to be content. Inspiring much?
Routine
He avoids sugar and alcohol; makes conscious choices
Rane steers clear of alcohol as he believes that it leads to unnecessary weight gain, dehydration, and various health issues.
He has also replaced sugar with stevia and milk chocolate with dark chocolate to achieve his overall fitness and health goals.
The actor also substitutes wheat bread with seed bread which is made of flax seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
