Deepika Padukone’s former nutritionist, Shweta Shah, shared a Japanese ritual that, according to her, is a simple way to prevent strokes, especially among those over 50. “There is a Japanese secret to preventing strokes. It’s a very simple thing. All they do is soak their feet in hot water for 15-20 minutes. I would advise everyone over 50 to follow this. There is a really big science behind it.
