Why Kriti Sanon has fibre mixed with electrolytes every day: ‘Everyone just talks about protein’

Kriti Sanon, star of Cocktail 2, has revealed that she incorporates fibre and electrolytes into her daily supplement routine. In an interview with Vogue India, Sanon stated that she believes protein is often the focus in fitness discussions, and often overlooks the importance of fibre. Her daily regimen includes a fibre supplement mixed with electrolytes in water, which she consumes every day.

Nutrition expert Edwina Raj from Aster CMI Hospital explains that fibre supports digestion, bowel regularity, gut health, and fullness, while electrolytes like sodium and potassium help maintain fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle function, particularly during heavy sweating or exercise. However, Raj emphasizes that the benefits of fibre and electrolytes depend on an individual's overall diet, activity level, hydration, and health status.

She advises that most healthy people should obtain fibre from whole foods like vegetables, fruits, oats, whole grains, beans, lentils, chickpeas, nuts, and seeds, while electrolytes can be naturally obtained from foods like coconut water, bananas, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, curd, and dairy products. Raj also warns against consuming unnecessary electrolyte drinks daily, as some products contain excessive sodium or added sugar.
