Actor Chitrangda Singh recently shared her morning routine, saying she has a full tray of antioxidant-rich drinks and fruits. “I drink lukewarm water. A big mug of garam paani. I soak cumin, carom, and then boil them and have it with lemon. Then I have soaked almonds,” Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders actor said on the Let’s Talk With Namitaa podcast. The 50-year-old added, “Then one kiwi and a small bowl of papaya. So, this is my tray in the morning.”

Taking a cue from her, we reached out to consultant dietitian Garima Goyal, who said Chitrangada’s morning ritual reflects a gentle, gut-friendly way to start the day. “Beginning with a large bowl of warm water helps rehydrate the body after overnight fluid loss and supports bowel movement and digestion. Warm water also prepares the gut lining to receive food more comfortably, especially for those who experience morning bloating or sluggish digestion,” said Goyal.

Following this with jeera and ajwain water with a squeeze of lemon adds a functional layer to her routine. “Cumin and carom seeds are known to stimulate digestive enzymes, reduce gas and ease gut discomfort, while lemon adds a mild vitamin C boost and enhances hydration. This combination helps activate digestion without being harsh on the stomach, making it suitable for regular use,” said Goyal.

Ending the morning intake with fruits like kiwi and papaya or a bowl of seasonal fruits provides natural fibre, antioxidants, and enzymes.

“Papaya contains papain, which supports protein digestion and gut health, while kiwi is rich in vitamin C and helps improve bowel regularity. Consuming fruits after hydration and digestive drinks allows better absorption and reduces the chances of acidity or heaviness.”

So, this routine focuses on hydration, digestive activation, and gentle nourishment rather than heavy or rushed meals. Goyal said that it supports gut health, reduces inflammation, and helps the body ease into the day with steady energy. “While this works well as a morning ritual, it should ideally be followed by a balanced breakfast later to ensure adequate protein and sustained nutrition through the day,” Goyal said.
