1. She Doesn’t Diet
Priyanka doesn’t abide by strict eating plans. "I don't really have a diet. I wing it by the seat of my pants," she told ELLE. "It's such a girl thing to do, like if I feel, 'Ughh, I put on a few pounds' and I feel gross about [myself] I suddenly start eating salad, protein, and soup. Otherwise, if I am feeling like I am in great shape I am okay with cheeseburgers and pizza. So, when someone asks me about my diet I feel terrible saying that I don't really have one." She added to The Times of India that she eats a lot of chapati, vegetables, soups, salads, rice, dal “and lots of fruits.”
2. She Drinks a Lot of Water

She also stressed the importance of hydration to The Times of India. "Also juices and water are very high on my intake list. In fact, water is a must for everyone, at least 10 glasses a day. I often overshoot that, but it does wonders to your skin."
3. She Likes Jump Roping

Priyanka is one of the many stars who get their cardio in with the help of a jump rope."I love skipping. I learnt it really really well in school and then I learnt it even better during Mary Kom, so I try to get my cardio in my skipping. It's easy to carry, you have your skipping rope in your bag, it's easy to do,” she explained in an interview.
4. The Pandemic Shifted Her Approach to Health

Chopra recently revamped her approach to health. "I never worked out as consistently as I have during quarantine," she recently told People. "I also pay attention to my diet. I was very used to eating dinner right before I went to bed, but I changed that completely. I try not to eat after 8 o’clock. I start my day with some exercise, and I make sure I’m drinking lots of water."
5. Self-Care Is Crucial

Priyanka urges the importance of self-care. "If you have the ability to look out for your well-being, you also have the ability to look out for your family and friend's well-being," she says. "If you are inherently happy inside and you're investing in yourself and taking care of your own self, that's truly what wellness means.
