"A few of my top recommendations (💉other than booking a medical aesthetics appointment with me💉):  Hydrate throughout the day, when you are active & losing electrolytes it is necessary to replace those. I use @pedialyte after every intense workout and drink water as well."

She Plays Tennis

"Tennis includes short bursts of activity, it offers the same conditioning benefits of interval training, which has an unparalleled positive effect on the heart and lungs, slashing your risk of heart disease by 56% (!).

She Does Yoga

As you can see from her recent post, Slater loves to do yoga to stay fit. According to Harvard Health, yoga has a lot of benefits. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga were more mindful eaters, according to their scores. Both years of yoga practice and number of minutes of practice per week were associated with better mindful eating scores. Practicing yoga helps you be more aware how your body feels. This heightened awareness can carry over to mealtime as you savor each bite or sip and note how food smells, tastes, and feels in your mouth."
