Feeling ‘terribly unfit’, designer Tarun Tahiliani makes a series of lifestyle changes for the sake of his health.
After designer Rohit Bal had a near fatal heart attack reportedly due to his lifestyle, designer Tarun Tahiliani admits that he had become so unhealthy that he had to seek professional help.
“I had abused my body for too long. I have become overweight and suffering from high blood pressure. I had to put a stop somewhere. Apart from the blood pressure, what added to my woes is that I completely stopped working out after I had a hernia operation. I became a classic case of unhealthiness. I felt the need that I have to make some changes in my lifestyle because I had become terribly unfit,” admits Tarun candidly.
The designer sought help from reputed Australian fitness consultant and healer Glen Schirmer in Thailand who had traditionally worked with international sportspersons and Olympic medalists. Incidentally he is also the personal fitness consultant of Anil Ambani and his sons Jai Anmol and Jai Anshul.
“Tarun was there at one of my bio-research programmes in Thailand and there I advised him zero alcohol. I told him that even a little bit of alcohol piles up calories inside your body and it takes a lot of time to burn itself. Why even consume less? He was convinced,” confirms Glenn.
Not only off alcohol, Tarun also went off calorie-rich food and even flew down a chef from Thailand at his Delhi residence to help his staff learn to cook healthy. He and his wife Shailaja have also started working out everyday. Tarun says that the results are finally showing.
“We have started working out and reduced fat and carb intake. The whole lifestyle change has helped me stay off my blood pressure medication for six months. Though I have started taking the medication again, I feel much healthier than before,” he admits.
