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

Kriti Sanon, the star of Cocktail 2, has revealed that she incorporates a fibre supplement mixed with electrolytes into her daily routine to support her fitness journey. This routine is highlighted in an interview with Vogue India, where Sanon emphasizes that while protein is often the focus, fibre is equally important. According to Edwina Raj, Head of Services - Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics at Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore, fibre supports digestion, bowel regularity, gut health, and fullness, while electrolytes like sodium and potassium maintain fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle function, especially during heavy sweating or exercise.

Raj clarifies that the specific ratio of fibre to electrolytes isn't fixed and depends on an individual's overall diet, activity level, hydration, and health status. She advises that fibre should primarily come from whole foods, and electrolytes can be obtained naturally from various foods, with hydration usually sufficient from ordinary water.

However, she cautions against unnecessary daily consumption of electrolyte drinks and emphasises the importance of a balanced electrolyte-to-glucose ratio, as seen in oral rehydration solutions (ORS) for dehydration treatment, which should not be replicated in daily wellness drinks.
