During his recovery phase, Rishabh Pant focused on a healthy diet, particularly by taking care of his gut health through natural de-bloating powder from various herbs and spices. This aids in enhanching his gut lining and prevent digestive issues.

In the first two weeks of Pant's recovery diet plan, he mainly stuck to a simple dish called khichdi. This basic meal not only nourished his body but also helped improve his digestion.
