What is Amit Shah's fitness mantra

He highlighted that his health journey has not only transformed his physical well-being but also boosted his mental clarity. "It has improved my ability to work, think, and make decisions," he shared during the event.

Reflecting on his weight-loss journey since 2020, he urged people to take their physical and mental health seriously. "I request them to dedicate two hours to exercise for their body and six hours of sleep for their brain. This would be extremely useful. This is my own experience," he added.
