Handful of almonds daily help me stay fit: Sonali Bendre
Mumbai: Actress and fitness enthusiast Sonali Bendre says that eating a healthy diet, including a handful of almonds, every day and a regular exercise regime help her stay fit.
"I have realised that to ensure my family stays healthy, it is important I stay fit and healthy myself," said the actress while taking part at a panel discussion titled "Badam pe Charcha-Working Mother's Dilemma in Ensuring the Family Health" organised by the Almond Board of California here on Wednesday.
Being a full-time working mother can lead to feelings of guilt and stress because of divided attention between work and family.
"For working mothers, creating a work-life balance is critical as we must ensure we do not neglect any significant part of our lives -- our children, our family's health, our own health and fitness, our marriage and of course our careers," said the actress, who is married to filmmaker Goldie Behl.
The 43-year-old actress said being a working mother, she can understand how stress inducing the feeling of ignoring responsibilities can be.
"Incorporating small changes/additions in one's daily routine can have a big impact. For example, eating a healthy diet including a handful of almonds every day and a regular exercise regime, not only helps me maintain a healthy life but also balance both my family's health as well as my own," Sonali said.

Bantwal: Ex-soldier dies after casting vote at home
Bantwal, Apr 24: Madhava Prabhu, an 85-year-old resident of Wagga in Bantwal, exemplified unwavering commitment to his civic duty even in the face of illness.
Admitted to a private hospital here owing to his ailment, Prabhu, a former army officer and inspector of Malaria Eradication department, died without responding to treatment on Wednesday.
Amidst his illness, Prabhu was determined to exercise his right to vote, especially with the provision for home voting for those aged 85 and above.
With the doctor's permission, he left the hospital briefly to fulfil his sacred duty on Tuesday. However, fate had a cruel twist in store as Prabhu's condition worsened upon his return to the hospital.
