1. Yoga and Zumba

Banik says she wouldn’t describe herself as a “fitness freak”, preferring gentle exercise. “I love doing yoga or zumba at home,” she says. “I don’t follow any strict diet, and I usually avoid junk food. It’s always homemade food for me, with daal bhaat (rice and pulses) being my comfort food.”

2. No Sugar

Banik feels much better since removing sugar from her diet. “I think having sweets or refined sugar is more harmful than fried foods,” she says. “With sugar detox, I have noticed positive changes. I have acne-prone and oily skin. The skin texture seems much better now. Also, my hair fall problems have stopped. At times, during festivities, when I badly crave sweets, I just take a small bite.”

3. Healthy Snacks

Banik’s everyday diet is based on fresh fruit and vegetables, plus staying hydrated. The actress makes sure even her snacks are healthy and nutritious. “My daily diet comprises a healthy dose of fresh fruits and nuts apart from plenty of water including coconut water,” she says.

4. Home Cooking

Banik cooks at home as much as possible. “I always eat light-spiced, homemade food and avoid junk items totally,” she says. “My day begins with oats or a healthy, wholesome South Indian breakfast. For lunch, it can be chicken stew, rice, daal and some salad. I love sipping lemon water throughout the day.”

5. Simple Beauty Routine

Banik follows a simple yet effective beauty routine. “Left to myself, I am just a lip balm and sunscreen person, and I don’t wear make-up at all, if I am not shooting,” she says. “I always prefer the fresh, dewy look. To take care of my skin, I religiously follow cleansing, toning and moisturizing. Also, once a week, I scrub my body with a homemade paste of almonds, turmeric, neem, orange peels and olive oil.”

2. She Does Yoga

One of Bharathi’s favorite ways to stay in shape is by practicing yoga. She posted this stunning photo of herself in a tree pose outside on Instagram.

Bharathi likes to start her mornings out with some meditation. She posted this video on Instagram of herself in a lotus pose doing some deep breaths. She captioned the video, “Rise and shine.” Meditation is a great way to relax, focus, and clear your mind. “Mindfulness meditation is the practice of purposefully focusing our attention on the awareness of the present moment as it relates to our thoughts, feelings, sensations in our body and our sense of the environment around us. Mindfulness practice is rooted in eastern meditation practices,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Loves To Do Outdoor Activities

5. She Gets Vitamin D

Bharathi spends a lot of time outside. Naturally, this means she spends a lot of time in the sun, and gets a lot of Vitamin D. Bharathi likes to go to the beach, as seen in this Tweet. She wrote, “All we need is love and sunsets.” “Certain foods — fortified foods, such as milk and cereal, and fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna and mackerel — also provide vitamin D. Chemical reactions in your liver and kidneys transform vitamin D into forms that your body can use,” says the Mayo Clinic.

Indian star Nidhi Bhanushali loves nothing more than being outside, especially in the water.

Melon is one of Bhanushali’s go-to snacks. “Melons are not only low in calories and fat, but they are also high in essential vitamins and minerals, and water content,” says the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “In fact, a fresh watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew contains up to 90 percent water, making them some of the most thirst-quenching snacks around. And serving them is simple as can be.”

2. Love For Travel

Bhanushali says she loves going on road trips with her beloved dog. “Travel exposes you to different environments, which create stronger antibodies and boost your immune system significantly,” according to the Yale Tribune. “Antibodies are the little proteins that shield your immune system from deadly pathogens, and multiple research studies imply that being exposed to dirty or minor illnesses really keeps your body and gut more grounded.”

3. Surfing In the Sun

Bhanushali is an accomplished surfer. “Exercising outside can offer many benefits,” according to the National Library of Medicine. “It can help improve your mood, expose you to vitamin D from the sun, and increase your energy level. It also offers a varied landscape that you do not get indoors.”

4. Hiking In the Mountains

Bhanushali loves camping and hiking in the great outdoors. “Being in nature can boost your mood and improve mental health,” says the National Park Service. “Spending quality time in the great outdoors reduces stress, calms anxiety, and can lead to a lower risk of depression, according to a study done by researchers at Stanford University.”

5. The Importance of Me-Time

Bhanushali supports her mental health by taking time for herself. “I am a social person; yet I believe in being private,” she says. “I enjoy my personal space and I don’t like it when it’s intruded upon by anyone. Me-time is my favorite time.”

I soak 5 raisins and a strand of saffron every night in 1/4 cup of water and drink(or eat) it first thing in the morning. It helps with hormonal balancing, pain-free periods, acne and PMS. I’ve felt the difference myself. Drink your warm water or whatever you prefer after.”

So I pulled him on the mat for a Pranayama series at the end. The Bhramari Pranayama is one of my favourites; it’s calming, invigorating and great as a part of the entire series that for me included Surya Nadi breathing and Bhastrika. Clearly, he needs it more than me. Also, my half lotus is better than yours.”

6. She Exercises for Mental Health

“For me, fitness is important in all aspects – mind, body, and soul. It is a combination of working out, going for a walk, playing with kids, meditation, yoga. All of these things I think make you physically and mentally fit and sound,” Mira said about her approach to fitness in an Instagram post.

Plaque development in your arteries can lead to chest pain, coronary artery disease or a heart attack."
