Entrepreneur duo Nithin and Nikhil Kamath, who founded Zerodha have for long been poster boys on social media for their healthy lifestyles. Nithin, the elder brother, has often revealed in interviews that he follows a rigorous routine — early mornings, a strict diet with no room for bingeing, regular workouts, and lights out by 9 pm. Textbook-healthy, right? Well, not quite. Nithin, 44, who has been termed “the gym bro who makes big bucks” by fans recently revealed that he suffered a minor stroke, proving that even the fittest need to listen to their bodies. “My doctor told me that I must know when to shift gears; bring it down a bit,” he shared in a post. So, how do you find that sweet spot between pushing yourself and taking a breather? A lifestyle expert, a cardiologist, and a sports psychologist break it down for us.
