Jinni Shaikh’s #ActiveForLife Story

Alkalen recently interviewed Jinni Shaikh, a popular fitness enthusiast on Instagram that inspires a great following, with her daily fitness pursuits. And we asked her to share with us how water plays an important role, in helping her pursue an active lifestyle.

Jinni shares with us that one of the first things on her task-list for the day, is to get herself up and hydrated with an immediate glass of water. She also prefers a glass of lukewarm water with honey and lemon – a great low calorie, fat-melting digestive drink, which increases immunity, detoxifies the body and clears the skin. She trains 6 days a week, for one and a half hour every day, which usually involves weight training or home workout/yoga. To fuel her active lifestyle and to keep herself properly hydrated, Jinni drinks around 3 to 4 liters of water per day. The way she does this, is to always make sure she has around 4 to 5 water bottles kept aside.

Jinni strongly believes that water plays a vital role in any kind of healthy routine, and it was her mother who is a teacher in the UAE that disciplined her with a daily water intake regime. When Alkalen asked her if she’d like to share any unique water drinking advice, she said that –

“Your body gives you cues to let you know its lack of hydration. One being, the color of urine, dark yellow color may indicate dehydration, while fairly clear and straw colored urine is a sign of a hydrated and satiated body. Dry chapped lips are also indicators of a dehydrated body. Notice these cues as these may turn into health problems.”

When we asked Jinni Shaikh what inspires her to keep pursuing an active life, she says that the great transformation that she has found in herself, ever since she’s decided to get #ActiveForLife, has been her greatest inspiration.
