Fitness Without Gyms and Supplements

Furthermore, he remains enthusiastic about learning new things and recently learned to use a laptop. According to Sindhu, this consistency and simplicity are the true secrets of his health.

Mantra of Health Lies in Traditions

In her post, the granddaughter also wrote that yoga, meditation, and an active lifestyle have long been a part of life in South Asian and Hindu traditions. The things that are trending on social media today were already part of our culture. Experts also believe that longevity isn't just about modern fitness trends, but also about everyday habits, mental balance, and discipline.

Another wrote, "Wishing your Thatha a long and healthy life." Another cited the example of his 94-year-old mother-in-law, who still practices yoga and worships.

Family Support and Positive Thinking

Many users agreed that, in addition to genetics, family support and a positive attitude play an important role in good health. Sindhu concluded her post by writing that she wants to adopt even a little of her grandfather's qualities in her own life.

Dr. Viswanathan's story proves that staying fit doesn't require expensive equipment, but rather a regular routine, a balanced life, and a positive attitude.
