SHIVANGI VERMA: MAINTAINING GOOD HEALTH IS LIKE TREATING OUR BODY AS A SACRED TEMPLE

Shivangi Verma, who was part of Choti Sarrdaarni in Colors TV, Mirzapur on Amazon Prime Video, Control Room on Dangal TV and others believes that health and wellness are synonymous with the overall well-being of an individual. She feels it requires a balanced approach.

“Maintaining good health is like treating our body as a sacred temple. It involves a balanced approach, focusing on both mental and physical well-being. Instead of chasing extreme fitness goals that might harm our bodies, it's crucial to adopt a sensible routine — eating nutritious food, following a proper diet, and working out in moderation. Remember, excess in anything can be harmful. Health truly is wealth,” she said.

She also emphasised that people are drawn to packaged and instant food because of the persuasive advertisements. She said, “It's essential to pause and think about the choices we make, questioning whether they align with our health goals. Blindly relying on ads may lead us away from the wholesome goodness of home-cooked meals. Taking a moment to consider our food choices can make a significant impact on our well-being.”

Shivangi even believes in going through the ingredients of any product that she buys, as it helps in understanding the nutrient value. She added, “It helps us understand what goes into our bodies and what doesn't. Being mindful of these details empowers us to make healthier choices and ensures we're giving our bodies what they need. Everybody needs to do that.”

She further pointed out, “It's important to be aware that certain products can potentially harm our bodies. Checking the nutritional information and expiration dates on packaged foods is a smart move. This ensures that what we consume aligns with our body's needs and avoids any potential harm. Being mindful of these details helps us make informed choices for our well-being.”

With social media flooded with health and fitness tips from influencers, there are people following them blindly. But Shivangi is not one of them. She said, “Everyone's body is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Following health and fitness influencers may not be the best approach since they might not have professional expertise.”

Our bodies have different needs, and relying on individual tips without considering our own body's requirements might not lead to the best results. Trusting professional guidance is key to personalized and effective health choices,” she added.

She also mentioned that social media has sold the idea that slim is the new healthy, adding, “It also calls it the new standard of beauty. This sets unrealistic beauty standards, particularly affecting girls. Many try to emulate influencers, experimenting with their bodies and potentially harming both their mental and physical well-being. It's important to recognise that beauty comes in different forms and that health isn't solely determined by appearance. Social media's influence on defining beauty can have negative consequences for both physical and mental health.”
