But before leaving home in the morning, I make sure that I apply a moisturiser and an SPF to protect my skin. Also, I consciously drink a lot of water and try and have balanced, healthy meals throughout the day. I try and pack in a workout as well as it&#39;s very important for blood circulation and it makes you feel good. You feel very happy and positive. Moderation is okay What is dieting? I think the concept of dieting is misunderstood. People feel that dieting means starving, but it is actually just eating healthy and eating correctly. I eat healthy and don&#39;t starve myself. Of course, I indulge once in a while. I am a human being and have my tendencies to want to eat chocolate and dessert. But anything in moderation is okay. But to tell you the truth, I don&#39;t just have a sweet tooth. I think all my teeth are sweet! (laughs) Earlier, I had a weakness only for chocolate. But now, I like all kinds of sweets and desserts. Ageing gracefully I do believe in ageing gracefully, but I also think that it is important to take care of yourself. I think Indian women have a tendency of neglecting themselves. For them, it&#39;s always about their husbands, children, family, relatives and work. They rarely make time for themselves. And your &lsquo;me&rsquo; time is very important. Let&rsquo;s work it out With my busy shooting schedule, it is a little difficult to find time to play badminton often. And that is all the more reason why I enjoy my workouts. They keep me connected with my athletic side. But I would love to play a sport more often. Working out or playing a sport gives you a natural glow, but more importantly, it gives you a certain focus and discipline in life. That is a very distinct difference between those who are sports people and those who are not. It teaches you how to handle everything &mdash; yourself, pressure and competition. It gives you some grounding.
