She Believes in Balance
"I believe in balance and listening to your body," Dina told Beauticate about her approach to health. "If I feel like chocolate every night, I don't panic and deny myself. I indulge knowing that soon enough I'll change and get sick of it, and sure enough my body gets its fix and craves something new. Currently, I pretty much indulge in a chocolate gingerbread man every night before bed!"
She Exercises
"I'm a creature of habit. Even exercise for me is not about working up a sweat, its about toning and getting the blood flowing in gentle ways, its also about fresh air and me time," Dina told the publication. "To relax I love yoga, walking, swimming in the ocean, reading, painting and collaging. I used to do yoga a lot but I don't have time anymore. I would love to, I miss that. I find it makes my body shape really lean and just gives it a different shape. Walking for about an hour a day is all I can really manage. I love to walk at Rushcutters Bay, I do the same path that I've always done when I used to live there."
She Prioritizes Sleep
One of the fundamentals about Dina's approach to healthy living? "My best tip is to get enough sleep. I try to go to sleep before 10pm and then I wake up looking fresh before anything else," she told Beauticate. How does sleep impact your health? According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z's is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.
She Eats Nourishing Food
Dina fuels herself up with a nourishing diet. "I eat poached eggs and toast every morning or sometimes I'll have avocado, tomato, and toast," she told Beauticate. "In terms of the foods I eat, carbs are a must. I love carbs. If I have a meal without carbs I feel like I need to eat within half an hour. My stomach gets rumbly and I have to have another meal. For dinner my boyfriend usually does all the cooking and I clean up afterwards. Dinner could be pizza, burgers, BBQ, steaks, pasta, anything really."
She Drinks Coffee
A coffee per day, keeps the cardiologist away, says Dina, who has a Mocha every morning. "I don't like sugar in my coffee so the chocolate is almost like instead of adding sugar… I don't add milk either," she said.
