1. Vegetarian diet
Amitabh Bachchan is a pure vegetarian now. A few years back, he used to eat meat but he has completely gone vegetarian as he ages.

He takes all kinds of fruits and vegetables to get essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
2. Regular exercise
Even at this age, Amitabh is very particular about his fitness. Nothing can affect his workout routine be it his aging body, work commitments or time constraint. If he misses his morning workout, he makes sure to cover up in the evening as he is very disciplined in this regard. He also practices yoga daily to keep his mind and body in sync.
