Sustainable Stamina

Throughout his work, his health and a seemingly unlimited stamina are crucial. Col. Rangi places his belief in basic Indian food, with fruits, salads, sprouts, vegetables, milk, curd and soya forming a large portion of his diet. Though he leads a mostly strict regimen — he fasts once a week and his diet is mostly vegetarian — he does treat himself from time to time with meat when he eats out.

Col. Rangi also attributes his peak fitness to regular exercise. For instance, he regularly plays pickup basketball with the neighbourhood children. Although he was initially cautious on the basketball court because of his strength, Col. Rangi quickly discovered the kids had more stamina so the playing field was more level. He sits out of the more strenuous matches, but he still enjoys the physical activity and the sense of community the basketball games bring, too.

He also goes for 8- to 10-kilometre walks and practices yoga, following his physician's advice to keep fit.

From the unforgiving terrain of Kashmir to the working security on the set of "Eat Pray Love," a healthy diet and a zest for life has been a constant, fueling Col. Rangi to leap from one challenge to the next. He's enjoying every second of it.

"There's so much to do for society, for the country. If one role is over, start another."

Thanks to the modern healthcare there are millions, like Col. Rangi, who can now lead a life full of possibilities and new ventures. Here's how Abbott has been discovering new ways to help you age healthily:
