1. No Sugar Diet

Gupta avoids sugar and junk food. “An increase in overall energy is one of the immediate perks you may notice when decreasing your added sugar intake,” says Linda Folken, MS, RDN, CSOWM, CDN. “This is largely due to experiencing fewer highs and lows in your blood sugar.”

2. Cucumber For Under Eye Circles

Gupta uses cucumber as a way to soothe and target under eye circles. Not only are they beneficial to use topically, cucumbers are very healthy to eat. “Cucumbers can help with disease prevention, weight management and digestion,” says registered dietitian Amber Sommer, RD, LD. “And because they are readily available and easy to eat, everyone can reap the benefits.”

3. Strawberry Lover

Gupta loves fresh strawberries, and credits her glowing skin with a diet high in berries. “Strawberries give you a lot of nutritional value for very few calories,” says Bailey Flora, MS, RDN, LD. “They’re tasty but naturally low in sugar. That’s a combination that’s hard to beat.”

4. Riding a Bicycle

Gupta enjoys riding a bicycle outside in the fresh air. “One of the major benefits of cycling is that it’s low-impact,” says Jaclyn Kubiak, PT, DPT. “You’re using your big leg muscles to cycle, which is already a huge benefit. But you can also do it in combination with strength training, or you can do it without.”

5. Swimming Sessions

Gupta frequently posts pictures of herself at the beach and the pool. “Swimming is one of the few activities that work your whole body,” says the British Heart Foundation. “Breaststroke, backstroke, front crawl, butterfly and even doggy paddle get your legs and arms moving. This in turn works your back and core muscles.”

Huma Qureshi, star of Bollywood films and Army of The Dead, is about to celebrate her birthday on July 28th. She’s celebrating early, according to a recent Instagram post.

1. She Does Yoga

Qureshi loves to do yoga as a way to stay in shape. She posted this set of photos of herself in a bridge pose on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Slow and Steady…. One day at a time towards a stronger ME!!” To do a bridge pose: “Start by lying on your back. Keep your feet shoulder-length apart with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Start with your hands at your sides, palms down, on the floor. Inhale and push your hips up. Keep your head, neck and shoulders flat on the floor. Place your hands on your back, pointing fingers toward your lower back and keeping the thumbs on your sides. Breathe deeply. For a more advanced option, try walking your feet out further while in the bridge pose. Hold the pose for 30 seconds. Then walk your feet back. Then move your arms to your sides on the floor. Lower your hips,” says the Mayo Clinic.

Qureshi loves to have pool days with her friends and family. She reposted this video from her brother’s Instagram account. In it, they enjoyed time in the pool with their loved ones. She captioned the post, “How @saqibsaleem tried to kill me on Sibling day .. thank you for the edit.”

3. She Went On A Cleanse

Qureshi decided to go on a cleanse to help herself be healthier. She wrote on Twitter, “Now training hard! 28-day Detox. Forget the scale!” One note from the experts though: “Cleanses aren’t effective for long-term weight loss,” registered dietitian Kate Patton, MEd, RD, CSSD, LD tells the Cleveland Clinic. “The weight you lose from a cleanse is a result of losing water, carbohydrate stores and stool, which all return after you resume a regular diet.”

4. She Doesn’t Care About Weight

In the same tweet, Qureshi talked about her reasons for going on a cleanse. She revealed that she isn’t interested in losing weight, and she is focusing on being healthy and happy. “Forget the scale! Your self worth is not dependent on the weighing scale or weight. Be the best version of you.”

5. She Has Hot Lemon Water Before Breakfast

Quershi revealed what she eats in a day on this Instagram post. She says that she likes to have a hot glass of lemon water before breakfast each day. She wrote, “30 mins before breakfast. Cup of hot water with juice with half lemon and fresh grated ginger.” Anything that gets you hydrated and is sugar-free is a good idea.

Indian star Anjini Dhawan is enjoying some much-needed beach time, and sharing the pictures with her fans. Dhawan posted a series of beautiful vacation snaps, including ones of her wearing a white bikini and pink sarong. “Gorgeous,” one admirer commented. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Dhawan stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. The Gym Is Boring

Dhawan loves to mix it up when it comes to her workouts. “Exercise is a very important part in my life but just going to the gym is a little boring for me so I mix it up with my dance classes, kickboxing and gymnastics,” she says. “Dancing and gymnastics are my favorite form of cardio, I rather do that over running on a treadmill.”

2. Dog Lover

Dhawan loves animals, especially dogs. “Perhaps one of the greatest psychological benefits of interacting with a dog is the opportunity it provides to be more mindful — to purposely focus your attention on the present moment,” says Harvard Health. “Mindfulness is a lifelong practice that can help you to better appreciate simple everyday experiences like being physically active with your dog. By learning to focus on the here and now, you may find yourself less likely to get caught up in worries or regrets.”

3. Intermittent Fasting

Dhawan practices intermittent fasting, and rarely eats late at night. “I do intermittent fasting and, in fact, I’ve fully made that a part of my life,” she says. “I love eating my junk food, too, so doing intermittent fasting helps me balance it out. So, I guess eating right is very important, but more than that, eating at the correct time matters. I don’t eat late at all and finish my dinner by 7.30 pm."

4. Diwali Treats

Dhawan lets herself enjoy sweet treats at Diwali. “Diwali for me is indulging in some really amazing food,” she says. “There are no faves as such, I look forward to all kinds of different sweets we get to eat. It's probably the only time when my house is filled with so many sweets in one go… Overall, it’s just a much-needed positivity everywhere. Along with Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali happens to be my fave festival.”

5. Healthy Fats

Dhawan saysshe eats healthy fats when she needs to gain some weight. "I wasn’t always on the lean side. I was a very healthy kid and I had to lose 13 kilos initially, which was very difficult,” she says. “I was on a very strict, healthy diet, but it was very short term because I’m a big foodie and I need my pizza too. Currently though, I’m on a weight gain diet so there’s a lot of avocados, dates, dry fruits and smoothies, which I’m enjoying a lot.”

Indian actress Kate Sharma is enjoying a magical trip to the island of Koh Samui, Thailand. Sharma shared a reel of herself swimming in a beautiful pool, wearing a bright pink swimsuit and sarong, with palms and blue skies in the background. “Poolside paradise 😍,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sharma stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. Fresh Lime Soda

Sharma’s go-to drink is fresh lime soda. “Limes are packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients," says Carly Sedlacek RDN, LD. “Limes are low in calories, high in micronutrients and punch above their weight with regard to both water and fiber content. They’re really good for us, but most of us aren’t going to make a snack of them. The juice — without added sugar — is the best we can do.”

2. Running Outside

Sharma loves running outside, especially at the beach. “There’s good evidence that spending time outside can reduce stress, depression levels, and anxiety,” says Josh Lawler, a UW environmental & forest sciences professor. “We suspect that one of the routes for the physical benefits is through [the] decreased stress and anxiety.”

3. She Chooses Happiness

Sharma says she chooses happiness in her personal life. “I don't date much but I have had rough patches in relationships. Ups and down are part of life and moving on is an art of life,” she says. “Break ups were there but that all made me so strong and I am a girl who looks at the broader aspect in life. So pain was there but feeling the pain and being sad is a choice.

So I chose happiness. It took time to heal but today I learned happiness is the most important thing in this world.”

4. Bathing Beauty

Sharma loves to take baths. “Taking a bath has great physical and mental health benefits,” says family medicine provider Amy Zack, MD. “Soaking in a tub is something many people have access to but don’t take advantage of enough. But it can be beneficial for a lot of people.”

5. She Is an Artist

When it comes to her career, Sharma loves the benefits creativity brings to her life. “Artist is an artist, no matter where he/she performs," she says. "It’s always a pack of feelings and entertainment which we have to give to the audience. Films and music videos both tell a story. The only difference is that films are on a larger scale in every form, while music videos take less time but require the same level of consistency and hard work as an artist."

1. She Focuses On Her Health

For Gupta, health is not about losing weight or what her body looks like. She tells GulfNews that she focuses on how she feels when being active. “It doesn’t matter what size you are or what body shape you are, the real question is whether you can climb a flight of stairs without any problem,” she says. “Being healthy is not about being thin.”

Gupta wants to be an inspiration to young girls. She tells GulfNews, “I remember seeing my young cousins in Dubai and them fretting about being a size four. But I told them, you can be any size but focus on being healthy and fit. I don’t want to have a daughter tomorrow who’s concerned that she isn’t thin.”

3. She Loves Yoga

Gupta loves to practice yoga. She tells GulfNews that she has been practicing yog since she was young, and started appreciating it when she got older. “As I grew up, I realised the importance of yoga. Since college, I have been practicing yoga out of my own free will. I wake up at 6am and I go to bed by 10.30pm every day. While I am usually hyper as a person, yoga grounds me.”

4. She Doesn’t Use Her Phone When Working Out

Gupta tells GulfNews that she doesn’t use her phone at the gym, and encourages others to do the same. “Keep your phones away during the session and don’t worry about taking selfies. Try to be in the moment and try to forget your problems at work, home or office.”

5. She Keeps Her Blood Pressure Up

Gupta tells IDiva.com that she has to eat on a regular basis. “I am vegetarian and I love my food. The moment I wake up I have to eat. If I don’t eat, I feel like my blood pressure is dropping. I get crabby if I have gone more than half an hour without eating.”
