Joy Taylor is heating up sunny Florida in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts, the FSI host shows off her incredible body while vacationing at The Boca Raton. “Was a proper Saturday,” she captioned the steamy hot set of Instagram images shared with her 630,000-plus followers. How does the gorgeous celebrity keep herself fit and healthy? Celebwell has compiled a list of some of her healthiest habits.
1. She Hydrates
Joy makes sure to hydrate. Here she is on a tropical vacation drinking straight from a coconut. “Coconut water,” she captioned the swimsuit snap. 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.
2. She Drinks Red Wine
Joy drinks red wine on occasion. “Red wine, in moderation, has long been thought of as heart healthy,” says the Mayo Clinic. “The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent coronary artery disease, the condition that leads to heart attacks.”
3. She Swims
As you can see from her recent Instagram post, Taylor spends a lot of time at the beach and in the water. In this video she swims in the ocean. "Golden Hour in Heaven," she captioned it. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.
4. She Walks
Joy is a walker. During a recent trip to South Africa, she put on her walking shoes and hit the pavement. 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.
5. She Hikes
Joy also goes on hikes. 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
