Deepak Chopra’s health routine

He’s the world’s foremost purveyor of spiritual wisdom. But Deepak Chopra, the 66-year-old thought-leader exercises as regularly as he meditates: Seven days a week. For starters, Chopra practises yoga daily, reports Cary Castagna in the Sudbury Star. “I also go to the gym every other day,” he explains during a recent phone interview, noting he works out for an hour each session. “I have a trainer, so I do everything from weight training to stretching to cardiovascular exercise.”
Chopra who weighs 172 pounds at five-foot-nine, also avoids “taxis, elevators and escalators.” Physical activity, of course, is just one aspect of Chopra’s holistic approach to health and wellness. The author of What Are You Hungry For? also preaches — and practises — proper nutrition. “The best thing for anyone is to totally avoid food that is manufactured, processed, refined and that has chemicals because all these foods — refined, manufactured, processed and chemically interfered with — they interfere with the microbiome, which is the DNA of the healthy bacteria in your gut,” he explains. Chopra recommends opting for many of the nutrient-dense foods that comprise what is commonly referred to these days as the Mediterranean diet. Among those foods, he adds, are fish (a good source of protein), olive oil (a good source of healthy fats) and vegetables.
