Nuts
“You must include nuts in your diet,” she said, sharing that she consumes soaked nuts including almonds, walnuts, figs, black raisins and dates. “Nuts are very high in micronutrients, minerals, fibre and good monosaturated fats. They help maintain your weight and metabolism, and are also a healthy snacking option.”
Berries
Next, she recommended eating different kinds of berries. “All berries have antioxidants and anti-ageing properties, and are a great snacking option. I either add berries to my smoothies or yoghurt,” Chhavi said.
Yoghurt
According to the actor, yoghurt is low in calories and high in calcium. Sharing how she consumes it, she said, “I don’t consume yoghurt with my meals. Instead, I eat it separately after two hours as a separate meal adding nuts and berries to it.”

Green leafy vegetables
There’s a reason all doctors recommend eating green leafy vegetables, the actor said. “This is because they are high in vitamin A, vitamin C and fibre,” she said.
Sattu
Chhavi also suggested consuming sattu regularly. “Either have it with water or in the form of ladoos or pancakes. It is rich in protein and gives you good sustainable energy,” she said.

Coconut oil
The actor shared that she swears coconut oil, and suggested either consuming a teaspoon of coconut oil directly or mixing it in your coffee or smoothies. “It has anti-ageing properties and will keep your skin glowing. Also, it’s a great source of fat which our bodies require every day,” Chhavi added.
Seeds
Seeds of different kinds — pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, basil seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds — should be a part of your diet, she said. “You should consume at least two types of seeds every day. They have anti-inflammatory properties and a lot of health benefits.”
