Ms. Namita Nayyar
Your daily diet routine? Any specific diet you follow, the food you love to eat & avoid? Supplements you think women should take for optimum health?
Ms. Shikha Tandon
I eat everything and don’t follow any specific diet. However, I’m watchful that everything is in moderation and avoid anything with excess sugar or oil. I followed a similar approach while swimming competitively, and it works for my body.
I believe food is the best supplement – a healthy, diverse, and wholesome diet is unmatched. If someone requires supplementation for medical reasons, those can be taken after consulting a doctor.

Talking about your daughter, she was in the pool when she was a 10-month-old. According to you, when is the right time to start training for the future?
Ms. Shikha Tandon
Infants can begin exploring the water as early as 6 months. For the first few years, right up to when they’re 5 or 6 years old, it’s all about having fun and getting familiar and comfortable in the water. If the child is interested in a more structured approach to swimming training, that can begin around 7-8 years. However, serious competitive training doesn’t happen until much later.

Motivational quote you live by?
Ms. Shikha Tandon
Take one step at a time and never miss an opportunity to learn. Sometimes, to continue on the path of growth, it’s ok to take a step to the side and explore a different route. The road forward is not always linear.

Message for your fans & WF followers on women health?
Ms. Shikha Tandon
Be kind to yourself. While embarking on your own personal fitness and health journey, take the
time to understand what works for you and what motivates you. Don’t get caught up in the social
media frenzy of what’s considered healthy or fit.
