Rhea Chakraborty in Two-Piece Workout Gear Boxes

Rhea Chakraborty is breaking a sweat – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the Indian actress shows off her amazing body and boxing skills during a workout. "Watch till the end 😅Day 1 #muathai Hoping to get better everyday .. should I share my progress daily ?" she captioned the post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

During an interview with Hindustan Times, Rhea discussed her healthy diet.  "The best is to avoid oils from outside. I have recently turned vegetarian as I believe it is a step towards a healthier lifestyle and helps curb cruelty against animals. Honestly, I'm enjoying it," she said. 

She also loves "dadi-ma-ke-nuskhe," which includes desi home remedies. "Even for digestion, I boil aijwain, jeera, ginger and lemon in water and drink it all day. It is very good for digestion. I also make face packs at home by mixing yogurt, honey and vitamin E capsules. Sometimes I just rub the fruit that I eat for breakfast on my face to hydrate it and give it a nice glow," she said. 

During the week Rhea does yoga. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," they said. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."

Her weekend workouts include dancing and Pilates. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it "strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health." It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

During the week, she also does kick-boxing or Krav Maga (Israeli martial arts). Studies confirm that the practice helps with balance, cognitive function and psychological health in addition to weight loss and physical fitness.
