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.

Bengaluru, Apr 18 (PTI): Punjab Kings defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by five wickets in their rain-curtailed Indian Premier League match here on Friday.

Batting first, Tim David (50 off 26 balls) struck a counter-attacking fifty to lift RCB to 95 for nine in a match that was reduced to 14 overs per side after a delayed start due to evening showers.

In reply, PBKS completed the chase in 12.1 overs with Nehal Wadhera making a brisk 33 off 19 balls. Josh Hazlewood (3/14) bowled brilliantly for RCB, but his effort was not enough.

Earlier, RCB lost wickets at regular intervals with the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Marco Jansen doing the bulk of the damage for the visiting team.

Brief scores:

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 95/9 in 14 overs (Tim David 50 not out; Arshdeep Singh 2/23, Yuzvendra Chahal 2/11, Marco Jansen 2/10).
