Vaibhav Sharma Advocates Nutrition As Key To Fitness Over Gym Workouts

Vaibhav Sharma, known for his role in Jersey alongside Shahid Kapoor, emphasises the significance of nutrition in maintaining fitness. He asserts that workouts are effective only with proper nutrition. "It is more important than physical fitness itself, as proven by facts. It's actually nutrition that determines the growth and development of physical fitness because it's the fuel that keeps the engine going," he says.

Discussing his dietary habits, Sharma mentions, "For me, the agenda is simple: eat healthy, home-cooked food. I'm not much of a diet person because of my high metabolism, but I keep in mind that what keeps me in shape and on track are my sleep and workouts." Reflecting on challenges faced during the Jersey shoot, he recalls maintaining his physique during a 5-7 month COVID-induced break was tough. "We were sitting at home with just hopes, food, and ample rest! (laughs) during that COVID phase until the shoot started again."

The actor highlights the difficulty of balancing nutritional needs amidst unpredictable schedules. "It's quite a monumental task to maintain nutritional needs and balance the diet during the uncertainty of schedules that we, as budding actors, have to face. But I'm blessed with a fast metabolism, so I can get away with a few cheat meals here and there," he notes.

Sharma believes public figures should advocate for healthy eating habits. "It is our duty to promote healthy living and nutrition through our social platforms. If we can bring about a change in even a single person's life through our efforts, that would be more than enough. But, at the same time, I won't consider wrong or unethical endorsements or promote something that is unhealthy or not beneficial to society," he says.

Sharma's insights underline how crucial nutrition is for physical fitness and overall well-being. His commitment to promoting healthy living reflects his dedication to using his platform responsibly.
