Shilpa Shetty is one of the fittest actors in Bollywood. She is a multi-talented woman who never fails to impress as well as encourage us. She has been into yoga since many years, and have been teaching the same. She also owns a Youtube channel where she posts food recipes. One thing we always wanted to learn about her was what she eats to maintain that perfect body. And now, she recently took to her instagram account for a personal announcement that she has now turned a vegetarian.
Shilpa Shetty Kundra has turned a vegetarian. Being from a Mangalorean family, fish and meat have been her diet staples for the longest time. So it was a hard and overwhelming decision for her to take, but also an important one. Speaking about the reasons for the switch, Shilpa Shetty wrote, “The shift happened gradually and now, I have accepted vegetarianism completely. I wanted to reduce my carbon footprint, and I’ve realised that how cultivating livestock for food may have increased sources of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous-oxide emissions, further responsible for climate change.” On that note, From Washing Vessels To Sweeping, Here’s What Our Celebs Are Upto During This Lockdown
She added that it’s the best change for our health and the health of the planet. Though she has posted many non-vegetarian recipes on her channel before and she won’t be deleting them. But going forward, she will be focusing on the vegetarian ones.
