Philanthropist, businesswoman, and Reliance Foundation Chairperson Nita Ambani turns 62 today, and her fitness journey continues to inspire millions of women across India. Known for her disciplined lifestyle and radiant health, Nita follows a balanced, vegetarian, and organic diet that prioritises nutrition over restriction.
A wholesome vegetarian lifestyle
Nita Ambani’s approach to food is rooted in simplicity and sustainability. She believes in eating what nourishes the body rather than what merely satisfies cravings. Her meals are vegetarian, organic, and nature-based, focusing on whole foods, fresh produce, and clean eating. She consciously avoids processed items and ensures her plate is filled with nutrient-dense ingredients that support energy and vitality.
In an interview shared earlier this year on Women’s Day (March 8), Nita opened up about her eating habits, saying, “My diet is balanced. I am a vegetarian. My food is more organic and nature-based.” She added that protein is a key part of her meals, as it helps build strength and maintain muscle tone.
No to Sugar, Yes to Protein
One of Nita Ambani’s most steadfast rules is avoiding sugar completely- including artificial sweeteners. She believes that cutting out sugar helps maintain not just weight but also clear skin and balanced energy levels. Instead, she opts for natural alternatives like fruits to satisfy mild sweet cravings while keeping her diet wholesome.
“Protein is very important,” she said in her video message, emphasising the role of proteins in women’s health. A protein-rich diet helps her stay active throughout the day and supports muscle recovery after workouts.
The Power of Exercise and Positivity
Beyond food, Nita Ambani’s wellness philosophy strongly centres on movement. Her fitness routine includes a mix of yoga, strength training, and dance, activities that she believes keep both body and mind in harmony.
“When I exercise, I find peace. It keeps me in a positive frame of mind and releases endorphins- the happy hormones that reduce stress,” she shared. For her, exercise is not just about maintaining a toned body but about building the stamina to enjoy life fully.
Aging Gracefully and Staying Strong
Nita Ambani inspires women to embrace aging with strength and grace. She believes in owning every stage of life with confidence and energy. “It’s not about fighting age; it’s about owning it,” she said. “For me, it’s about lifting my grandchildren and keeping pace with them.”
Even at 62, she maintains her vibrant energy through mindful eating, disciplined workouts, and a deeply positive mindset.
