Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri navigates Mumbai’s high-pressure scene with enviable energy, thanks to his ‘Sattvic Life’ philosophy. Scientifically tuned for zero inflammation, it swaps chaos for calm through plant-centric eating and mindful pauses.
‘Sattvic is practical science, not religion,’ Vivek explained. Steer clear of inflammatory culprits like oily, chili-laden meals. Embrace plants: vibrant fruits, crisp veggies, hearty grains, nourishing dals. ‘Peer-reviewed studies spanning 40 years from world-class researchers confirm it’s the gold standard for health,’ he noted.
Fasting is intuitive—dinner by early evening, nothing till late morning, granting 12-16 hours of recharge. Rooted in heritage, it’s effortless. Patanjali’s wisdom guides him: seek comfort in all things, streamlining life to essentials.
He practices what he preaches with ruthless minimalism—no hoarding clothes or gadgets. Books alone tempt him, but even those he’s gifting away. Mastering the mind unlocks physical health, Vivek insists. His approach proves you don’t need extremes; just smart, sustainable habits for a fitter, freer you.
