According to wellness consultant, Anuradha who runs the finest and most successful slimming centre in Lucknow, the actor could soon be crippled with osteoporosis, making him prone to multiple fractures which even a surgeon would have trouble remedying. Diet and lifestyle play a major role in ensuring health after the age of 35 (which Shahrukh is well past). Till this age, says Anuradha, the body keeps producing a maintenance dose of hormones to keep up the repair work needed for the human machine. Just going to a gym or having six-pack abs does not ensure good health. In fact many youngsters who boast of six-pack abs today, secretly suffer from several disorders. Six-pack abs are not a sign of good health but could very well be an indication of impending health trouble.

According to Anuradha, several youngsters are administered several banned steroids like Dynabol and testosterone injections and Decadurabolin injections, in order to help them build a certain physique. This gives them the look of a Greek god, but just may give rise to serious health problems. These range from impotency to calcium deficiency, which cannot be countered by taking just calcium pills or drinking milk. The first signs of the problem are teeth cavities, and those who have taken body-building drugs are more prone to this problem. Then comes sudden weight loss and pains in the joints and lower limbs, loss of sex drive is another issue and sterile sperm can also result from this. An individual taking such drugs is virtually hollow inside.

Your best friend after 30 are a set of weights or strength machines in a gym and the morning walk. Unlike work on a defective gym treadmill, walking does not damage your knees. Also ice cream is great because it is rich in calcium. It would be a good idea to avoid excessive consumption of red meat, as this prevents calcium absorption. Also staying away from cigarettes would be a great idea, says Anuradha. Consuming tobacco flushes out vital nutrients from the body. Smoking only aggravates the situation of calcium deficiency and makes it more prone to osteoporosis.

I feel sorry for Shahrukh Khan if he does not eat ice cream. If he doesn’t start soon, it may be too late for him. The trick to keeping young is to eat well and exercise well. Otherwise as the Red Indians would say, Bad Medicine.
