Prioritises Quality Sleep: Malaika calls sleep “underrated” and believes it’s one of the most essential pillars of her wellness routine.
Practices Water Therapy Daily: She hydrates consciously and even promotes water therapy through a dedicated hydration bar at her restaurant, Scarlett House.
Swears by Meditation and Yoga: Yoga, for Malaika, is about breathwork and balance—not just exercise. Meditation is also a non-negotiable part of her day.
Follows Intermittent Fasting: Malaika begins her fast after 7 PM and breaks it around noon the next day—maintaining a long fasting window to reset her body.
Starts Her Day with Ghee: She consumes a spoon of ghee in the morning, an Ayurvedic ritual she credits for aiding digestion and gut health.
Eats Mindfully, Not Strictly: Her diet isn’t restrictive—she enjoys Indian staples like rice, roti, and sabzi within her eating window.
No Meals After Sunset: One of her core rules is no food after sunset, allowing her body ample time to rest and digest overnight.
Avoids Early Morning Meals: Even though she wakes up early, she doesn’t eat immediately. Her first proper meal is at noon.
Believes in Balance Over Dieting: To her, intermittent fasting is not dieting. It’s about timing, mindfulness, and eating everything in moderation.
