The reason for being active is vegetarian food!
In several interviews, Simbu has spoken about his love for food, especially biryani, but also stressed the importance of eating right with age. He mentioned that while younger people can handle anything, after 30 or 40, heavy carbs and non-veg meals tend to slow the body down.
Realising this, Simbu shifted to a mostly vegetarian and low-salt diet. He now prefers foods that make him feel light and energetic. His meals often include ingredients like lemon, curry leaves, garlic, and cucumber, which help maintain digestion and reduce fat accumulation.
