Malaika Arora has been a great source of inspiration and motivation when it comes to fitness. The actress does a variety of things to look this way. From skincare regimes and healthy diets to pumped up gym and yoga sessions keep her on the go and make her so active. A mother of two, the actress has featured in several popular Bollywood numbers and films. She has even judged a couple of talent shows on television and her groovy dance moves have enamoured one and all.
The actress is always enjoying a good meal. Be it her authentic Goan indulgence with all the local flavours on a plate or her curd rice combination that she swears by as a comfort meal. She even shared her heal meal recently which comprised of khichdi, papad and a spicy chilli achaar. The actress seems to be quite a food yet she knows how to balance it all together. She took to her Instagram stories to share her source of Vitamin C. It is passion fruit. A cut-open picture of the purple- coloured fruit seems to be the secret behind her glowing skin and fit body. Here’s what it looked like.
Passion fruit is known to be good for the body and the skin. It has plenty of antioxidants which help in boosting the immune system and keeping all infections at bay. The pulp and seeds of the fruit also have anti-inflammatory properties along with protecting your cells from damage. This sweet fruit has a tart-based flavour that is really tempting and yummy. It is perfect for syrups, salad dressings and even drinks.
