#Repost @dr.jewelgamadia I would never profess anyone with what choices to make in their lives, I can only share my own experiences - I turned vegetarian about 3 years ago and that has been the best thing for me physically and mentally. That’s why It was so good to speak to @dr.jewelgamadia recently about how being vegetarian is not a drawback in order to get optimum nutrition to enable you to get fitter ! Makes me happier and prouder of my life choices 🤗🏋‍♀ #VegIsTheWay #VegetarianHealth #ThinkFresh ・・・ look at this majestic beast, gods very best creation.just think where does it get it's daily protein from to support it's 40000 muscles? humans have about 700 muscles or calcium to support it's massive bone structure or it's b12 or any other nutrient ?? PLANTS ! all the biggest living mammals derive nutrition from PLANTS to support their massive bodies I want you to think, open up to possibilities to refined knowledge to facts

The actor has also been an important part of the cleanliness drive. She has participated in many public events to support cleanliness and bringing awareness about a healthy environment.

Have a look at the post below:

Anushka was recognised as PETA's person of the year 2017. The Pari actor has also joined hands with Discovery to promote a global awareness movement to save tigers from extinction. Anushka will promote Project C.A.T: Conserving Acres for Tigers, aimed at raising awareness to preserve the habitat of the declining numbers of tigers in the wild. Discovery has collaborated with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for Project C.A.T, a statement said. Happy Birthday Anushka Sharma! Here Are 10 Of Her Best Fashion Outings That We Just Can't Get Over!

In a video that promotes the cause, Anushka said, “Tigers - the glorious wild cats are in real danger of getting extinct and they need our help.” “As a large predator, tigers are an umbrella species and play a critical role in ensuring that the delicate ecological balance in the wild is maintained. The current situation is a sad reflection of us as human beings,” she added.

She believes everyone needs to reflect upon how they can contribute to make the world a better place to live in and "ensure that our future generations too can experience this magnificent creature".

Anushka turns 31 today and we wish her all the happiness and success in her career. We hope that her initiative to support and love animals spread across the globe and she inspires people along with it.
