1. Quinoa Bowls

Sharma is not a fan of cooking, so the simpler the meal, the better. One of her favorite go-to dishes is a simple quinoa bowl. “One cup cooked provides about 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber,” say the experts at Harvard Health. “Unlike some plant proteins, quinoa is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot make on their own.”

2. Black Coffee and Eggs

Sharma keeps it very simple when it comes to her choice of caffeine—the actress enjoys black coffee to start her day and help keep her energized. She follows this up with a vegetable omelet. “We are probably more embracing of eggs within a heart-healthy dietary pattern than we were 20 years ago, but it’s still a source of dietary cholesterol,” says Jo Ann Carson, professor of clinical nutrition at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. “Eating an egg a day as a part of a healthy diet for healthy individuals is a reasonable thing to do.”

3. Lentil Lover

Sharma’s favorite food is daal (lentils), which like many other legumes are shown to have health benefits. “We need to know much more about how lentils affect people to draw any definite conclusions,” says Elyse Homan, RD. “But we are learning more about the beneficial effects of what they contain, from fiber and vitamins to polyphenols. And it’s clear that people who eat a Mediterranean diet, which includes legumes such as lentils, can have better health outcomes.”

4. CrossFit Workouts

Sharma is obsessed with CrossFit workouts, and says she can’t do without it. “I have started working out religiously, it's gotten me addicted,” she says, adding that she’s become “that girl” who can go straight from a shoot to the gym. “It’s not even the gym, it’s functional training,” she says.

5. Honest About Beauty Routine

Sharma says she worked hard to achieve a specific look, and taught herself how to do makeup and take care of her skin. “I used to watch makeup videos on YouTube and learn from them,” she says. “I then started doing my own make-up for the events, until stylists and different teams came to me. Then later I started getting makeup staff. Today people message me and say that they want to do my makeup. I can’t tell the joy it gives me.”

Nia Sharma got back from vacation. And she wishes she was still there. Sharma just posted a stunning new photo on Instagram.

2. She Trains In Acrobatics

Sharma likes to learn new skills, such as acrobatics. She shared this video of herself spinning on a wheel on Instagram. Sharma captioned it, “Core strength. Arm strength. Muscles. A firm stomach.

5. She Works On Her Flexibility

Sharma is always working hard to improve on different things. One thing she works on improving is her flexibility. She shares a lot of videos on Instagram doing different flexibility exercises.

Indian singer Neha Bhasin has earned herself a reputation as a health and fitness guru amongst her peers. Bhasin posted some photos of herself wearing a black and white swimsuit, looking happy and confident in her poses. “I’m not shore you saw my bathing suit, so I’m posting it again 😋,” she captioned the tongue-in-cheek post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Bhasin 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. She Embraces Her Curves

Bhasin has experienced body-shaming in the music industry, but these days she doesn’t let it affect her. “Even today, I have my days when I struggle,” she says. “But mostly I’d say at this point, I have the healthiest relationship that I’ve ever had with my body. That also reflects in my size today. I don’t think it’s the other way around. It’s not like because I have a good size, I accept my body. It is because I accept my body, I feel I look the best that I’ve ever looked.”

2. She Follows a Vegan Diet

Bhasin follows a vegan diet, which she admits is not always easy. “I am gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant,” she says. “Being vegan makes your food choices very simple. A plant-based diet is a wiser choice for our health and our environment. Every foodie’s predicament when they turn vegan is missing out on foods, they have had all their lives. Especially for a Punjabi, who had an array of sumptuous dishes to choose from. I used to love paneer and cheese and dahi. I miss ghee and other Punjabi dairy products a lot. I also miss parathe. But it’s a sacrifice worth making.”

3. She Loves To Run

Bhasin likes to run and practice yoga. “I used to do cross training every day for an hour up till a year back,” she says. “The whole of last year I’ve been running for an hour every day in the morning and practicing yoga once in a while. I do believe a lot in stretching and remaining flexible.”

4. She Stops Eating At 7pm

Bhasin prefers to have dinner over by 7pm, in tune with her circadian rhythm. “Most of us typically eat over a 15-hour window. Instead, eat only when the sun is up, since this is when your body wants you to eat,” says Dr. Michael Crupain, MD, MPH. “Ideally, that’s 12 hours between your last meal of the day and the first of the next day. (This is a form of intermittent fasting, which appears to have important health benefits for longevity. If you can stretch this ‘fasting’ window out to 14 or 16 hours, that’s even better. Since you’re asleep for most of it, it’s actually not that hard.)”

5. She Rejects Diet Culture

Bhasin has faced body-shaming in her past, and refuses to ever diet again. “I was 49 kgs in Viva and I was fat-shamed every day. I am 65kgs here,” she says. “I put on weight in quarantine and I have never felt sexier. Weight is a number you can change but shaming oneself is damaging and toxic. Sex appeal is not in your body parts. It’s in you.”

Indian actress Shivaleeka Oberoi is soaking up the sun in a beautiful far-flung location. Oberoi shared pictures of herself relaxing on a boat in a black swimsuit, against a background of blue skies and pristine ocean. “Toasted ☀️,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Oberoi 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. Eggs and Mushrooms For Breakfast

Oberoi enjoys eggs for breakfast. “I love food! Coming from a Punjabi family, I’ve always been surrounded by people who love to cook, eat and feed people as well!” she says. “I love experimenting and trying different cuisines. So being able to maintain a strict diet is a bit of a challenge for me, but I make sure I balance out everything by being consistent with my workout. As a part of my ‘diet’, I try avoiding fried food and sugar as much as possible. My go-to breakfast is a poached egg with a side of avocado and mushrooms on toast.”

2. Honey and Lemon For Skin

Oberoi makes homemade skincare masks with lemon and honey. "Some studies show that honey has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties,” says dermatologist Dr Anjali Mahto. “In clinical practice, manuka honey dressings are used in wound infections. The data for clinical benefit in acne is limited."

3. Mixing Up Her Workouts

Oberoi likes to keep her workouts interesting. “My fitness regime is a fun mix of cardio, weight training, functional training, and Pilates,” she says. “My trainer works very hard to keep my everyday workout a lot of fun and slightly different than the last regime. I aim to train 5 to 6 times a week, and when I’m having a hectic or a busy week I ensure that there are at least 3 days of training.”

4. Japanese Cuisine

Japanese food is Oberoi’s favorite cuisine. "The traditional Japanese diet is considered one of the healthiest diets in the world," says Divya Jacob, Pharm.D. “The Japanese pride themselves in having one of the lowest rates of obesity in the world, as well as low incidences of certain hormone-dependent cancers. Usually, the Japanese eat three large meals and two snacks each day."

5. Health Mantra

Oberoi tries to focus on overall health and wellness. “They say that good health is a perfect balance of exercise, nutrition, and thoughts,” she says. “Regular workout is known to have a significant impact on serotonin levels, which helps stimulate your mood and general existence. Both mental health and physical health go hand in hand and follow a circle of codependency. At the same time, it is important to keep a positive mindset which can help any individual keep their life stress-free.”

1. She Speaks Out

In an ETimes interview, Gupta spoke out against racism and white supremacy. "Some Indians have the mindset where we think like white supremacy. Americans are fighting it. White supremacy means people who have dark colour or dark skin, are meant to be slaves because those who are fair think God made them as the ones who are supposed to rule."

2. She Loves Yoga

Gupta revealed some of her wellness secrets to Gulf News. She says that she loves yoga. “It has helped me stay active, focused and determined,” she says. “Yoga is not just for my body, but for my soul.”

3. She Doesn’t Look Cute For The Gym

When Gupta goes to the gym, she isn’t trying to look stylish. “I don’t understand Instagram influencers who put on make-up and head to the gym,” she tells Gulf News. “In my opinion, you need to dress up for yourself — whether you are walking on the runway or going out to work. When I work out, you might often see me without shoes unless I am doing cardio exercises.”

4. She Cuts Out Certain Things

Gupta revealed that she has cut out things in her diet to Gulf News. "I am gluten and dairy-intolerant, so I avoid it completely. When I eat gluten, my stomach hurts and I get acidic. Plus, I don’t believe in having milk products because I don’t think our body needs it. I also have carbs until 6pm. For dinner, I just have dal [lentils] or soups.”

5. She’s Vegetarian

Gupta tells Gulf News that she adopts a vegetarian diet. “I come from a family of vegetarians. We are vegetarians not for religious purposes though. Although I am a Punjabi, I have lots of vegetables with collagen in them.”
