If your morning starts with a cup of coffee, you might want to take advice from Soha Ali Khan. The actress recently swapped her caffeine fix for a simple homemade drink, and she swears it’s been a “game changer” for her gut health. Shared on Sunday, her routine is all about starting the day gently, especially as the body goes through hormonal shifts.

Opening up about her switch, Soha shared, “I’ve never really been a morning person, more a ‘don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee’ kind of soul. And then suddenly, I realised I can’t have coffee on an empty stomach. Hello, perimenopause. So, I switched to my warm water, lemon, ginger, and chia drink, and honestly, it’s been a gentle game changer for me.”

She explained that during perimenopause, changes like fluctuating estrogen can make issues such as acidity, bloating, and caffeine sensitivity more noticeable. This drink, she says, offers a calmer, more balanced start to the day by hydrating the body, supporting digestion, and providing steady energy without the caffeine spike.
