Bollywood actor Vidya Balan, celebrating her 47th birthday on New Year's Day 2026, has garnered attention for her recent physical transformation. Balan attributes her weight loss to an anti-inflammatory diet, focusing on foods that are biologically compatible with her body rather than calorie restriction. She noted that eliminating certain vegetables, like bottle gourd, which triggered inflammation, was crucial. Experts confirm that reducing chronic inflammation can improve metabolic function and aid fat loss, suggesting a shift from processed diet foods to inflammation-soothing options.
