While making the appeal, he can be seen consuming cow urine in the video.
"I drink this every day in the morning and despite working for 18 hours a day, I am healthy. I want to appeal to the people to include this in their everyday routine," said Singh.
He said two to three capfuls of it should be mixed in a glass of water and should then be consumed. "Don't consume anything for half an hour," he added.
