Isha Koppikar, 50, discusses morning routine, says she’s a pescatarian: ‘Deepika Padukone and I, same’

Actress Isha Koppikar, 50, recently shared details of her morning routine, revealing that she identifies as a pescatarian. Speaking on comedian Bharti Singh's YouTube podcast, Yeh kisne bola? Lagti hun shakal se, Koppikar noted that her food choices have nothing to do with spirituality or yoga. She goes to the gym, practices Surya Namaskar, yoga, and enjoys a varied diet that includes fish.

Koppikar emphasized her shared background with Deepika Padukone, both being from Mangaluru, and expressing pride in their appearance. The nutritionist, Dt Amreen Sheikh, explained that a pescatarian diet consists of plant-based foods, fish, and seafood, without chicken or red meat. Sheikh highlighted the benefits of this diet, such as being heart-friendly, easy to digest, and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health.

For those following a pescatarian diet, it's essential to ensure adequate protein intake and pay attention to iron, vitamin B12, and vitamin D levels, especially if fish consumption is limited.
