Here are 3 important diet changes Shilpa Shetty wants to you to make on World Health Day:

1. Ditch Refined Sugar: "Research says that sugar is more addictive than cocaine", began Shilpa. The actor said that she has completely removed refined sugar from her life, except on Sundays, which are her 'cheat days'. "I only binge on Sundays", says Shilpa, emphasizing on the need to exercise control. She suggested natural sweeteners as alternatives to refined sugar- gur or jaggery, honey, maple syrup and fruits.

2. Read Lables On Your Food Products: Shilpa Shetty said that it was important to inculcate the habit of lable-reading, because it gives you a clear understanding of what goes inside your food. She suggests turning all your store-bought food products around and carefully reading all their lables.

3. Mindful Eating: "If you can be mindful of who or what goes inside your house, then you must be mindful of what goes in your tummy", says Shilpa.

Shilpa ends the video with an ominous and cautionary piece of advice: "This World Health Day, treat your health as your wealth, or get ready to lose your wealth and your health!" Point taken, Shilpa!
