1. Eat Plant-Based

India is all about a plant-based diet. “I only became vegan because I was seeing someone who was vegan, and that was two and a half years ago now,” she told Grazia. “At first, I wasn’t really into the idea at all. I used to love red steak, and think a meal was only a meal if it had meat in it - if not, I was like, 'No, this isn’t a proper meal!' But he recommended that I watch documentaries, like Vegucated, and they really changed my mind. I thought to myself, 'how can I continue eating meat?' and within two weeks, I was completely vegan - even though I’d only been seeing him for two months. Crazy, stupid love - me! We were only together for another six months after that.”
2. Don’t Diet
India used to diet, but now focuses on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. “Since becoming vegan, I’ve been eating more - which is always a bonus. I used to diet a lot, and I struggled for years with that. But with being vegan, I find I make healthier choices. Even though the food you eat is more restricted, you’re not on a diet to lose weight and for me, that’s really helped my relationship with food,” she told Grazia. “It’s been so much better for my mental health. Having a healthy lifestyle is amazing, but dieting is horrible. I became vegan for ethical and environmental reasons, but I definitely realised the health benefits afterwards.”
3. Prepare Your Own Meals

One of India’s healthy eating tricks? She makes her own meals. “I love cooking things like mac’n’cheese and no chicken pie. Personally, I try not to use meat supplements: I just use more veg, but I think if you’re transitioning into veganism then they’re really good. If you’re cooking something where you would normally use meat, then you can just use Quorn - and that makes it a lot easier,” she told Grazia.
4. Ride a Bike
India knows how to stay fit while having fun. She loves walking, hiking, and biking. “Bike up your life,” she captioned this image during one of her rides. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.
5. Play Tennis
Another way India likes to stay in shape? Racquet sports. She enjoys a game of tennis in this photo. “Anyone for tennis?” she captioned it. According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.
