MS Dhoni's fitness advice on food and activity

Speaking at an event where lyricist and poet Javed Akhtar also appeared, Dhoni said physical activity had declined as daily routines changed. He contrasted earlier lifestyles involving more physical labour with routines that can include travelling by vehicle and sitting at a desk.

Dhoni said carbohydrate-rich food habits had been passed to newer generations despite that change. He also pointed to the popularity of fast food and cautioned about sugary and fried foods, particularly for people who are not very active.

He urged younger people to invest time in their health, suggesting that an hour devoted to fitness, complemented by simple food habits, would be beneficial.

Sports and family life

Dhoni encouraged children to participate in sports at school and explore their talents. He said losing can help players identify weaknesses and mistakes, while winning also offers lessons about handling success and continuing to work.

He linked fitness to responsibilities later in life, including supporting parents and children. Staying physically fit, he said, can help people remain active enough to play with their children.
