Jeetendra: Organic ghee has helped me maintain weight
Actor Jeetendra is fighting fit at 75. The veteran artiste credits a strict workout and a controlled diet regimen to it. Also, there's some organic ghee that he consumes to help him stay fit. He says its because of organic ghee, which he included in his diet after turning 50, that he doesn't put on weight.
As far as tips regarding maintaining his weight are concerned, Jeetendra told a daily, "You must have the willpower to avoid what is bad.
It's simple: If you indulge, you will develop a bulge. Exercise leads to only 15 per cent of weight loss. By diet control, I don't mean starving, but just eating the right food. When I started out in 'Caravan', I looked plump, but that looks fine when you are young. But as you age, you put on weight, it looks obnoxious, you slow down and carry a paunch.'
When asked more about the benefits of organic ghee, Jeetendra said, "Let me tell you that for the last 50 years, I have never had ghee or deep-fried food. I always thought that consuming ghee is unhealthy and leads to putting on too much weight, but I was proved wrong. Recently when I was at the Ambaji temple in Gujarat, I met a gentleman from Dubai who told me that he breeds cows, who feed on organic grass. Out of the organic milk, he makes ghee. He asked me to try it and I liked it so much that I had a lot of ghee after 50 years. I didn't put on weight, but my cholesterol went a bit high. So now, I have to be a bit careful. Also, organic cow's ghee is very light and not rich like the ghee made from buffalo milk."
Well, so we now know the secret to Jeetendra's fitness!
