With social media pushing quick fixes and \u2018gym body\u2019 trends, the nutritionist shared a refreshing take on what really matters in long-term health.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><strong>Do You Really Need Supplements for a Gym Body?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">When Soha Ali Khan asked if she discourages supplementation altogether, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/health-and-fitness\/rujuta-diwekar-shares-4-must-follow-health-tips-for-college-students-ws-l-9436353.html\">Rujuta Diwekar<\/a> clarified her stance. \u201cAs far as supplements go, if they\u2019re part of what you\u2019re already doing, eating correctly, sleeping on time, exercising, being mindful, and you add a supplement or two, I think it\u2019s okay,&#8221; she explained.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">However, she cautioned against an overreliance on pills and powders. \u201cIf your entire focus is on pills, powders, and products at the cost of eating home-cooked food, staying regular with your workouts, and sleeping well, then it\u2019s not worth it,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><strong>Is Staying Fit Really That Expensive?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Rujuta also addressed another widespread belief that fitness comes with a hefty price tag. According to her, this is a myth. \u201cIf you really know what your body needs and how to work around it, fitness isn\u2019t heavy on your pocket at all,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">She stressed that the obsession with supplements often creates unnecessary financial pressure. Many people, influenced by glossy marketing, assume that being healthy means stocking up on costly products, when in reality, small, consistent lifestyle choices are more impactful.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><strong>The Social Media Trap<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">The nutritionist pointed out how this myth is reinforced by unregulated digital promotions. \u201cThis misconception largely comes from unregulated social media marketing, where influencers often push supplements without disclosing paid partnerships,&#8221; she noted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">Such tactics convince people to chase shortcuts instead of investing in balanced eating, movement, and rest. For Rujuta, the foundation of health is still simple \u2013 a wholesome diet, quality sleep, and regular activity.<\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">Rujuta\u2019s advice is a reminder that while supplements may have their place, they should never replace basics. The focus, she says, should be on sustainable, affordable habits that actually work. In a world chasing quick fixes, her message is clear: fitness isn\u2019t found in a jar. It\u2019s built in your kitchen, your routine, and your mindset.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff263f4b724d470d jsx-1899294686 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:29px\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:29px\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">News18 Lifestyle section brings you the latest on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/health-and-fitness\/\">health<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/topics\/fashion\/\">fashion<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/travel\/\">travel<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/food\/\">food<\/a>, wellness tips, celebrity style, travel inspiration and recipes. <\/span>Also\u00a0Download the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/eng-article-eop\">News18 App<\/a> to stay updated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"jsx-ff263f4b724d470d jsx-1899294686 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
