Health and wellness are a priority for Sharvari, and in a recent Instagram post, she revealed the 4 habits she swears by. “Between shoots, travel and long work days, wellness always took a backseat. Starting small and early is the only thing that’s actually helped me feel steady through the chaos,” she mentioned in the caption of her Instagram post. Indianexpress.com consulted health experts and got a detailed breakdown of the four wellness habits the Munjya actor swears by:
Nutritionist Deepika Sharma said sipping water throughout the day is more effective than gulping large amounts at once. Consistent intake supports steady absorption and helps maintain balanced blood-salt levels without overloading the kidneys.

2. Collagen
Collagen provides the organic framework that gives bones their flexibility and strength. When collagen levels drop significantly, bones become brittle and prone to fractures even from minor impact. While ageing naturally reduces collagen production by approximately 1-1.5% per year after age 25, lifestyle modifications can significantly slow this decline.

3. Make time for meditation
Meditation is a timeless spiritual practice rooted in ancient traditions, yet its benefits are increasingly validated by modern science. Dedicating just five minutes daily can harmonise your mind, body, and spirit, creating a profound connection to your inner self while positively impacting your physical health. Over time, meditation thickens the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making and self-regulation, while shrinking the amygdala, the brain’s fear and stress centre.
4. 7-9 hours of sleep daily
Creating a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends, can help regulate your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. Develop a calming bedtime routine that helps you wind down before bed, such as reading or taking a warm bath. Avoid stimulating activities, such as screen time, for at least an hour before bed. Optimise your sleep environment for darkness, quiet, and coolness by using blackout curtains, earplugs, and a comfortable mattress. Regular exercise can also improve sleep quality, but avoid strenuous workouts close to bedtime.
Long-term sleep deprivation increases the risk of hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, depression, and memory loss. Health-promoting behaviours such as regular exercise, balanced eating, and routine medical check-ups, along with meaningful relationships, offer emotional support, help regulate stress, and give a sense of belonging and purpose — all of which are essential for a long and healthy life.
