Ariella Nyssa in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "Our Bodies Are Important"

Ariella Nyssa is sharing an important message with her followers. In a new social media post, the influencer shows off her gorgeous body while trying to get an important point across. "These are the reasons I think it's OKAY to comment on someone else's weight ……" she says in the video, staring blankly to insinuate there is no reason you should ever comment on someone's weight. "I can still remember all of the times that someone close to me or even a stranger has commented on my weight. For some reason, it really stuck with me," she continues in the caption. "I remember when one of my friends told me they think I have cankles. I remember when a friend told me to stop eating because they were just "looking out" for me. I remember when I got my first comment on social media telling me to go to the gym. I remember a boy not liking me back and telling people it was because I was chubby. These are things that are always going to stick with us. Words have depth. They hurt. So I urge you to never comment on anyone else's weight or body. And if someone has said something to you that has stuck around, let's let it all go together. These words are meaningless. Our bodies are important. They are way more then the words people try to place on them," she says. Here is everything you need to know about her approach to health, fitness, and self-love. 

Ariella doesn't go to extremes when it comes to diet and fitness. "A healthy lifestyle to me is 'everything in moderation'. I love getting active don't get me wrong… but I also love being a slob and watching movies in bed when I'm feeling run down!" she told Thrive.

Ariella is a fan of dancing, she told Thrive. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

Ariella added to Thrive that she lifts weights. "I love weight training," she added. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills

According to Ariella, "drinking lots of water," is an important component of her health. 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.

Ariella is a hiker and regularly gets outside for fresh air and exercise. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

• Building stronger muscles and bones
• Improving your sense of balance
• Improving your heart health
• Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

She also loves hiking. 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.
