Alix Earle is playing Uno on the beach in her bathing suit. The mega-influencer steams up the shoreline in one of her latest social media posts, playing the classic card game in an Agua Bendita swimsuit. "A game I didn't know I missed: Uno," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does the It Girl influencer stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Alix Ashley Earle stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
She Hydrates
Alix drinks lots of water, keeping a plastic water bottle filled with H2O whenever she is exercising. According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
She Eats Healthy
Alix maintains a healthy diet. One of her favorite restaurants is Pura Vida in Miami. "This was the best spot to get food on campus. Everyone was obsessed with it. The line was at least an hour long, and you'd see everyone there. I got all of my meals from there because they let you put it on your card swipes for school, so I abused that. Then they closed on campus, but started opening up everywhere. They were literally popping up like McDonald's and it's everyone's favorite spot. I'll go there either for food or a smoothie. It's so good," she recently told Interview. For breakfast she might eat boiled eggs with avocado toast. She also loves meat, bagels, pasta, tacos, and sushi. Her "go to meal everyday" is an egg omelet, avocado slices, and tomatoes.
She Drinks Coffee
Alix enjoys the perk of caffeine in the morning. "You know I love my iced coffee," she told PopSugar. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. "It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function," they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
She Shops for Produce at the Farmers Market
Alix makes healthy eating fun. "Farmer's Market Wednesday," is a regular part of her week, when she stocks up on healthy fruits and veggies to make her antioxidant-rich acai bowls.
She Rides Bikes
You can usually find Alix riding her bike around Miami. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.
She Is Open About Her Struggles
Alix is open about her struggles. "Sharing my acne journey was definitely one of my main catapults to getting my strong community of followers," she tells Rolling Stone. "It gave people something to relate to." She continues, "It was definitely really scary at first: I did not want to post my acne all over my face and my neck and then go to school and know that probably everyone I'm sitting next to me saw this on the internet, but it honestly was so overwhelmingly positive."
