Renowned fitness trainer Vinod Channa, who guided Anant Ambani to an astonishing 108 kg weight loss in 18 months and helped Nita Ambani lose 18 kg, has now shared three transformative eating habits to help anyone defy aging and regain a youthful glow.

In his latest blog post, Channa emphasises that nutrition is crucial in maintaining energy, skin health, and overall vitality. We turned to Dr Kiran Soni, Head of Nutrition & Health at Yatharth Hospital, Greater Noida, to understand if these tips can help people achieve sustainable wellness and long-term youthfulness.

1. A well-balanced diet: The key to radiant health

“Looking and feeling younger starts from within. Your body needs the right combination of proteins, carbs, fibre, vitamins, minerals, and essential fats in every meal to function optimally,” writes Channa.

A nutrient-dense diet fuels the body with essential elements that:

Support cell repair and collagen production, keeping skin firm and youthful.
Boost metabolism, ensuring sustained energy throughout the day.
Strengthen immunity, reducing the risk of age-related ailments.

According to Dr Soni, protein plays a vital role in muscle maintenance, while vitamins, minerals, and fibre promote gut health and skin elasticity—all of which contribute to slowing down the visible signs of ageing.

2. Cut down on age-accelerating foods

“Junk and empty-calorie foods are the real culprits of premature aging,” warns Channa.

Ultra-processed foods, sugary snacks, and refined carbohydrates contribute to:

Oxidative stress, which speeds up wrinkles and skin damage.
Inflammation, leading to chronic health conditions.
Energy crashes, leaving you feeling sluggish and fatigued.

Instead, Dr Soni recommends reducing processed food intake to once every 10-15 days, allowing the body to function optimally for a youthful glow.

3. Mindful eating: The game-changer for longevity

“Being conscious of your eating habits prevents binge eating, improves digestion, and helps regulate metabolism,” explains Dr Soni.

Mindful eating practices help:

Control portion sizes, preventing overeating.
Reduce stress-related food cravings, which often lead to weight gain.
Enhance digestion and nutrient absorption, maximising health benefits.

By staying present during meals and avoiding distractions, individuals can make healthier food choices, improving overall well-being and youthful vitality.

According to Dr Soni, Channa’s holistic approach to wellness proves that long-term health and youthfulness come from consistency in lifestyle choices. With the right balance of nutrient-dense foods, reduced junk intake, and mindful eating, anyone can rejuvenate their body from within.
