by TMM
In the league of adopting a healthy lifestyle and help nature heal, Shilpa Shetty Kundra has taken a step ahead and recently explained how the process of turning vegetarian has been gradual but now she has “accepted vegetarianism completely”. She did it via a video in which she can be seen plucking fresh cabbage and snap beans from a farm with son, Viaan.
Shilpa Shetty Kundra, as the fittest actors in Bollywood, took to Instagram for the personal announcement and wrote “accepted vegetarianism completely”. She added, “it was a hard decision” and “seemed impossible at one time, but it felt like a ‘calling’ of sorts”. Later in the post, she also spoke about how growing up in a Mangalorean family and fish meat have been her diet staples for the longest time, so the shift has been a tad overwhelming for the actor but going forward she cannot wait to share more of her vegetarian recipes with fans.
Speaking about the idea and reasons for the switch, Shilpa Shetty wrote about her conscientiousness towards the environment. She spoke about wanting to reduce her carbon footprint, and how cultivating livestock for food may have increased sources of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide emissions, further responsible for climate change.
Further, she spoke about the purported health benefits of turning vegetarian, it “can actually protect us from heart disease, diabetes, obesity, can improve & also reverse cardiovascular health, and some major diseases. It’s the best change for OUR health and the health of the PLANET. So, to give back to nature as best as I can here’s a choice I’ve made for myself,” she wrote.
