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.

Budapest/Washington: US Vice President J D Vance has said that Lebanon was never included in the ceasefire understanding with Iran, describing the confusion as a “legitimate misunderstanding”.
Speaking to reporters before departing from Hungary, Vance said, “I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn’t. We never made that promise.”
He stressed that the United States had not included Lebanon in the scope of the ceasefire at any stage.
His remarks come amid continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, where more than 200 people were reported killed, even as ceasefire talks between Iran and the US move forward.
Vance said Israel had “offered … to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful”.
He warned that if Iran allows the situation in Lebanon to affect the negotiations, it could derail the talks.
“If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that’s ultimately their choice,” he said.
