She continued, "Now when I work out, I don't do it to become thin or make my waist look smaller. I do it to be healthy. The idea is to be fit and not starve yourself by following some unhealthy diet. I made a decision to never be hard on myself even if there's extra bloating or chubbiness here and there. I am going to celebrate it. I won't torture myself..."
In the same interview, Alia also dished out some wellness tips for the new moms and asked them to eat healthy and fresh vegetables, intake tons of proteins, do yoga, go for a walk, and maintain a proper healthy diet.
