Anna Shumate in Tank Top Shares a Bathroom Selfie

Anna Shumate is taking bathroom selfies – in a black tank top. In a new social media post the influencer shows off her inked up arms while posing for pics in the mirror. "Always in this damn bathroom," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. "Beautiful," commented one of her followers. "Baddie," added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Anna loves to read. "Heavy on the dnd," she captioned a poolside snap of herself deeply engulfed in a book. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals. 

Anna is a coffee drinker. Her order: "cappuccino with oat milk please," she captioned a post. 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.

In her free time, you can find Anna outside hiking. "I fall more and more in love with this giant floating rock everyday," she captioned a photo from one of her excursions on Earth Day. Why should you take a hike? The National Parks Service explains that the physical benefits of hiking include building stronger muscles and bones, improving sense of balance and heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems.

Anna is always game for volleyball. "Volleyball anyone ?" she captioned a post. According to one study, recreational volleyball played with fewer players on a smaller court can be an effective training modality to stimulate decrease in LDL cholesterol and resting HR.

Anna makes sure to get her steps in. "Morning walk," she captioned an Instagram post. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
