Saba Azad recently shared a candid health update on social media, revealing that she has been recovering from an infection caused by Cyclosporiasis. Describing the experience as the “worst 14 days” of her life, the actor spoke about sudden weight loss, weakness and the challenges she faced during what she called one of her busiest phases of the year.
In her note, Saba wrote that the infection came unexpectedly despite her careful lifestyle habits. “Worst 14 days of my life. Cyclospora cayetanensis you nasty piece of work. For someone who only ever eats home food, carries her water bottle everywhere, this bug came outa nowhere, that too at the busiest time of the year for me.”
She also revealed that the illness led to noticeable weight loss and reduced physical strength within a short span of time. “I’ve lost 4 kgs that I didn’t have spare in two weeks and I can barely walk. One day I’m training twice a day, doing pull-ups, lifting heavy and the next I’m half my size, without strength to lift a goddamn toothpick leave alone weights,” she added.
Actor urges followers to take food safety seriously
Along with sharing her experience, Saba used the post to highlight the importance of washing vegetables thoroughly to avoid infections. She advised her followers to be cautious about food hygiene, especially when consuming raw produce.
“So pls for the love of your gut wash your salad leaves and veg like your life depends on it because sometimes it really does,” she wrote, adding that her current routine includes using baking soda along with a vegetable wash for cleaning produce.
