1. She’s A Dancer

Like many other Bollywood stars, Kapoor is a talented dancer. “Dance cardio is an approachable way to get moving while listening to your favorite music,” says weight loss couch Stephanie Mansour. “Instead of dreading the same run you take every day, you’ll look forward to learning new dance moves that make working out fresh and inviting. Plus, dance aerobics help improve flexibility, balance and strength endurance. I’ll show you some dance cardio moves that are fun and easy. All you have to do is turn on the music and have a good time.”

2. She Loves To Swim

Kapoor loves to swim, especially with her friends. “Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses,” says the CDC. “This can also lead to improved health for people with diabetes and heart disease. Swimmers have about half the risk of death compared with inactive people. People report enjoying water-based exercise more than exercising on land. They can also exercise longer in water than on land without increased effort or joint or muscle pain.”

3. She Eats Fruit For Breakfast

Kapoor enjoys a light breakfast of coffee and fruit. “Apples are one of the easiest, long shelf life fruits to pack and enjoy on the go — so if you always have them with you you can reach for the apple instead of other tempting treats,” says Jennifer Hyland, RD, CSP, LD. “Remember, as a general rule for any fruits that have a higher natural sugar content, try to pair them with natural peanut butter or nuts to get some protein at the same time — this can prevent your blood sugar from spiking.”

4. She Lifts Weights

Kapoor is dedicated to lifting weights at the gym, even captioning one tongue-in-cheek Instagram post “weights before dates.” “Such exercises also improve glucose metabolism, enhance maintenance of healthy body weight, and help improve cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure,” says I-Min Lee, professor of epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “All these factors lead to lower risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes, which lowers mortality risk.”

5. She Uses a Face Roller

Kapoor takes care of her beautiful complexion by using a jade face roller. “They’re gently used to massage the face,” says dermatologist Shilpi Khetarpal, MD. “It’s a temporary improvement in the overall texture and color of skin. The lymphatic system is your body’s way of getting rid of toxins and unwanted bacteria in the body. So by rolling in a certain direction, you can improve the lymphatic flow and drainage of the face.”

Indian actress Kate Sharma is enjoying a magical trip to the island of Koh Samui, Thailand.

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."

I’m not flexible at all, so it really relaxes my body.” Pilates also has a lot of other benefits than just flexibility. The Houston Methodist reports, “The goal is to be in total control of your body as you move. That requires beginning from your central core muscles and using the stability these muscles provide to smoothly control your arms, legs and other extremities. This is no easy feat, which is what makes Pilates a great way to build strength and stamina.”

Panday makes sure to care for her skin. She revealed some of her tips to Vogue India. “My mum emphasises the importance of sunscreen. Even if I’m sitting at home, she tells me to put it on.” In addition to protecting her skin from the sun, she also keeps it hydrated. “I use a normal face wash and spray rose water onto my face at least twice or thrice a day. It energises me and wakes me up.”

3. She Eats Healthy Six Days A Week

Then every Sunday, it’s burgers galore.” Panday shared these photos on Instagram of herself enjoying her go to Sunday burger and fries. She captioned it, “Literally me every Sunday when I’m reunited w my burger (bae).”

4. She’s Happy With Herself

Panday opened up about her approach to wellness to Vogue India. She says that she focuses on how she feels and what makes her happy, rather than trying to lose weight. “I am the happiest with my body when it’s well-fed, well-rested and well-exercised,” Panday says. “More than trying to hit a target body weight or size, I am looking more for happiness by simply being kind to my body.”

5. She Loves Yoga

One thing Panday likes to do to stay in shape is practice yoga. She does many different kinds of yoga as well. Panday shared these photos on Instagram from the studio.

Shanaya Kapoor is looking pretty in pink – in her swimsuit. In one of her most recent social media posts, the Indian actress shows off her gorgeous body in a vibrantly hued bathing suit. “Happy Sunday,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “How can u be so beautiful,” asked one of her followers. The answer is, she follows a handful of healthy living tips. Celebwell rounded up the top five.

1. Dance

If you want a toned belly like Kapoor’s try belly dancing. She does regular sessions with Sanjana Muthreja, her belly dancing and Tahitian dance instructor. “Belly dancing is really a full body workout,” Muthreja told Vogue India. “It involves a lot of core work and engages your hips. It not only helps as a cardiovascular workout (you can lose up to a 1000 calories in one Tahitian class due to the constant explosive movements), but it also strengthens the core muscles, which helps to stabilize the spine.”

2. Do Weight and Strength Training

Kapoor spends a lot of time at the gym, sharing photos on Instagram. In this video she does lateral pulldowns at the gym. "Getting there," she captioned it. She captioned another photo of herself, “Weights before dates.”

3. Drink Coffee

"A day without coffee is like...I'm kidding, I have no idea,” Kapoor jokingly captioned a photo. In all seriousness, she drinks coffee every single day. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

4. She Hikes

You can often find Kapoo on the trails, as she loves hiking. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

• Building stronger muscles and bones
• Improving your sense of balance
• Improving your heart health
• Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

5. She Walks on the Beach

Shanaya takes a lot of walks, especially when she is on the beach. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
