Masaba Gupta admits she can’t begin her day without this morning routine: ‘Otherwise, I don’t feel awake’ | Fitness News

Fashion designer Masaba Gupta, 36, recently opened up about her mornings, admitting they do not begin without her following a particular routine. When former Tennis player Sania Mirza asked her about the one thing she can’t start her day without on her YouTube podcast, her immediate response was, “I do this 12-minute breathwork. I have to do it. Otherwise, I don’t feel awake. Every morning.” During the conversation, she also mentioned that while her pregnancy was smooth, it is only lately — for the past two months — that she has been feeling postpartum depression, almost a year after giving birth to her daughter, Matara.

Mornings are one of the busiest times for most people. But, despite the rush, if you can take some time to do deep breathing, it can be advantageous, said influencer Gary Brecka. According to him, breathwork can be highly beneficial, especially in the first 30 minutes of waking up. “It raises dopamine. It improves your mood, emotional state. Your diaphragm massages your intestines. You flood the blood with oxygen,” said Brecka, adding that “For hours you feel amazing”. *Go outside, do three rounds of 30 breaths and a breath hold in between the three sets, said Brecka. Does it work? During sleep, we aren’t actively breathing deeply or taking in fresh oxygen. “So, when you consciously breathe deeply within the first 30 minutes of waking, it can do wonders for your body and mind,” said Saurabh Bothra, founder of Habuild and a certified yoga instructor.

Tabu epitomises grace and all things beautiful on and off the screen. But it turns out there are still some things on her wishlist. So, when asked about a habit she would like to adopt, she said, “Exercising regularly and waking up at 5 a.m. I don’t know why 5 a.m., though.” The Crew actor also shared that she often wonders how everyone else sleeps well on planes while she doesn’t. What about her nighttime routine? “I go and say goodnight to my pet. I cuddle him, wake him up from his sleep, and pinch his cheek. And then he growls at me,” Tabu told The Nod. If waking up early is on your list, too, here’s a ready reckoner. Experts validate that having and following a morning routine helps. “It is of utmost importance to have a consistent sleep schedule — a set time to go to bed.

Why Aditya Roy Kapur is particular about eating something before his morning coffee

Aditya Roy Kapur is admired for his charming (on and off-screen) persona, his height, and his great physique.

In a conversation with Jaane Jaan actor Kareena Kapoor Khan on her podcast What Women Want on YouTube, Kapur opened up more about himself and his lifestyle, including his morning routine. “I try and drink water before anything else. For the last year or two, I have stopped looking at my phone as soon as I wake up. The first half hour, I don’t look at it. I noticed that it would get me in stuff I didn’t want to get into as soon as my eyes open, interacting with the world, work and all,” said Kapur. The 38-year-old also shared that he is particular about eating something before drinking coffee. “I eat before I drink my coffee.
