Mahnoor Baloch reveals the secret to her youthful good looks

Mahnoor Baloch reveals the secret to her youthful good looks

Has she discovered the fountain of youth? And can we drink from it too?
Updated 30 Nov, 2019

Do you want to age as well as Mahnoor Baloch has?

Well, here's a spoiler for you: there's no magical elixir and the regime requires you to cut out all sugar from your diet, among other sacrifices. ****gulp****

Baloch, who made her acting debut back in 1993 with Sultana Siddiqui's Marvi has always drawn attention for looking younger than she is. In 2000, she also started directing and producing her own drama serials; her first serial as a director was Lamhay.

People got buzzing once again about her age-defying good looks when pictures of her from a holiday started doing the rounds on social media

Talking to Images, the actress shares how exactly she's managed to make time stop.

1. Here's what you can do for her wrinkle-free skin

She divulges, "Always cleanse and moisturise before going to bed. Also, sunblock is a must."

That's a grandmother with little to no make-up on; let that sink in while you eat your third slice of chocolate cake

Okay, doable. What's next?

2. Make smart lifestyle choices

The Mehar Bano aur Shah Bano leading lady adds that certain lifestyle decisions she makes may be what keeps her looking so great.

"Drinking plenty of water, having health supplements, and working out at least 30 mins a day, 5 days a week."

Some of the supplements she takes are Ester-C, alpha-lipoic acid, ashwagandha, magnesium and salmon oil.

The grandmother of one (!!!) highly recommends meditation to de-stress and swears by yoga, weight-training and cardio.

3. Eat right

When it comes to food, you can't let your gluttonous side get the best of you.

"I've cut out sugar, wheat, and processed foods from my diet," reveals Baloch.

Her breakfast includes a vegetable omelette, coupled with yogurt and a brown rice roti, followed by a lunch consisting of chicken, veggies with brown rice roti or brown rice. She recommends using coconut oil in food and quinoa.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, she says it's okay to eat sugar once in three months (emphasis on the if).

I'm 27, and I look like an 18 year old boy. I eat everything. Sugar, Samosa, Dahi Bary. Chocolates, Tikka Kabab. It is genetical. Just leave all the tensions behind and enjoy the moment that's the sip to the fountain of youth

It's all genetic! Hv seen her old tv drama's she was beautiful and still is. Btw she was married at age 15!! no wonder she has grown up children and is grandma. She doesn't like to wear Western dresses also not on the ramp modelling. In South Asian clothes one can cover/hide many kilo's and still look good/lovely #But #not in Western #dresses or tight jeans/pants n T-shirt/Top/blouses. I'm Western, love western clothing n also tight fitting South Asian. Looking fantastic is in my genes all of us. We ate all the stuff but less sugar/oil/butter, don't over-ate, lots of water, lots of (green) steamed/boiled veg without the many Indian/Pak species (ingrediënts) n working at home or gym is healthy. Be healthy and look good is the mantra.

Diet helps but looks can be deceiving. Stress can cause looks to change even though a person may not be old in age.

@Vivek (Indore) following vegan diet will deprive your body of the essential animal proteins. Mahnoor is not vegetarian and still looks very younger. Vegetarian diet is essential as the animal diet. And if the reason for being vegetarian is to protect living beings killed then even plants are living beings
