Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine?
Dr. Sandy:
My fitness regimen starts with my diet. I like to add variety to my fitness regime, so I enjoy Pilates, at home workouts such as T25 and yoga. When I have time, I love a great run outdoors. Despite to my busy schedule, I always make time to do my 7 minute 7 exercise regime; dynamic stretches and 40-60 minute low impact treadmill training that keeps my stomach flat and my butt lifted. I love to call it my “lazy girl workout” for those tired , long days.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Dr. Sandy:
Yes, currently I call myself a “meat eating” vegan. I have always had a clean diet; organic fruits & vegetable, whole grain, no processed foods or sugar and absolutely no dairy. At eighteen I became vegan. My friends and I would try to outdo each other with creative tasty vegan foods. In recent years I have added organic chicken and fish to my diet. My body and lifestyle demanded more essential amino acids – protein for building and restoring. I didn’t desire or crave certain foods once I added them and my body felt better.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Tell us about your own haircare and skincare routine? How do you manage to keep yourself so young and glowing?
Dr. Sandy:
Good genes help to keep me looking young but the glowing skin has taken some work because my skin shows everything that is going on in my body and I have bad acne. So I make healthy foods choices, I do some form of physical activity at all times in my life, I meditate, I have lots of laughter in my life and I do work that I love.
“Water, vegetables, sleep, exercise and a love keeps me young and glowing”.
