Heaven Peralejo is feeling happy in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Filipino actress and model shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while vacationing in the tropics. “Happiest when I’m here,” she captioned a series of Instagram snaps. How does the gorgeous star approach health and fitness? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits.


1. Intermittent Fasting

Heaven practices intermittent fasting, which means she's on a time-restricted eating. She eats for eight hours and fasts for the remaining 16. She enjoys comfort food in the “morning,” she told ABS CBN Entertainment. She has also revealed that when she is working, “I have to eat because it's tiring to cry,” so she eats more.

2. Morning Workouts

Exercise is also a part of Heaven’s stay-fit equation. She chooses to get her workouts in first thing in the morning to set her mood and make her feel productive. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

3. Mixing Up Workouts

Heaven maintains variety with exercise. “I've been doing Muay Thai, I've been doing workouts, running, walking, every day. Just different, tennis,” she said, according to LionHearTV.

4. OMAD

To prepare for a role, Heaven followed a specific diet. "Yes, actually, I did OMAD, which is one meal a day. But now, it's like me, my body wants to eat properly, it's like OMAD doesn't work for me, so you know, that's when I saw what was right for my body. I didn't starve myself either, I am eating vegetables and everything like that,” she said.

5. Reading

Heaven also enjoys reading. 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.

6. Surfing

In her latest vacation photos Heaven goes surfing. According to the Australian government’s Better Health, surfing provides many health benefits including cardiovascular fitness from paddling, shoulder and back strength, which also strengthens from the paddling, and leg and core strength. “Once you’re standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up,” they say.

1. She Believes Beauty and Wellness are Correlated

“As I’ve matured, I’ve realized the true correlation is between beauty and wellness,” she told W Magazine. “You don’t see that when you’re 20 years old, but as you mature, you start to realize that you can’t rely on genetics anymore, and that you must make a conscious effort in your life. It’s easy to make, it’s not like oh, I have a huge list of things I do. But I am conscious about the decisions I make for myself. And I have noticed that when I feed my body rich, plant-based nutrients, I feel better and I look better. It’s that simple.”

2. She’s Happy to Be Where She Is

"It's about embracing and no longer looking for what's wrong and really being in acceptance of everything," she said at the In goop Health summit, "Gravity is going in directions that I'm not so fond of. I can look in the mirror occasionally and say 'you're lying, I don't look like that.' but the reality is the comfort I feel in my skin is the greatest gift. I wouldn't trade it. I'm just happy to be where I am."

3. She Loves to Dance

Demi has moves. On Instagram, Demi has danced to Goldfrapp (during a photoshoot), danced with fashion designer Pierpaolo Piccioli ("Dancing the night away with @pppiccioli") and done a conga line to ring in “Happy 2020!”—plus she’s done low-impact dance aerobics with a 15-minute Mirror workout.

4. She Once Added a New Mantra

“I added into my daily prayer a new mantra: to have the courage to be seen without padding or protection,” she detailed in her new memoir, Inside Out. “I couldn’t go on fighting my body and my weight; I had to make peace,” she said. “I started by giving up hard exercise. I never went back into the gym in the house. Never. … The room it occupied is now my office.”

5. She Makes it a Family Affair

Demi has starred in Andie swimwear ads alongside her daughters. "It was important to me to include my daughters in this campaign, and I hope others seize opportunities in their lives to create meaningful connections and celebrate every moment with the people they love," she wrote, saying the campaign represented "togetherness and showing up for the people you love," so "it was only fitting that I got to share this moment with the people I love most."

1. She Wants To Help Single Mothers

Perez wanted to use her time in Miss World to help single mothers. She talked about this in an interview. “Being a mother is the most important job. It’s the most important role but oftentimes, they are neglected. We fight so much, we talk so much about women empowerment so why don’t we start with empowering our mothers, most especially those who go through so much difficulty to raise their families all on their own? Here in Miss World, we are given the chance to fight for causes and open up meaningful conversations about problems that are otherwise neglected. Here I am, hoping to bring light and to spark positive changes in the lives of single mothers."

2. She Swims

Perez spends a lot of time outside. She does a lot of outdoor activities to stay in shape. One thing she likes to do is go swimming. Perez posts a lot of videos and photos on Instagram of herself by the water. She shared this set of photos and one video of herself and her friends on a trip to Boracay Island. In one photo, Perez and her friends are seen snorkeling in the ocean. She captioned the post, “Boracay dump ✨It’s funny because for the past years, I have really tried to experience Boracay yet all my trips were cancelled due to different reasons! But just this year, not only did I finally experience Boracay for the first time, I also got to explore it again within the same year! It is truly a paradise and I now understand why people always come back for more. Here’s to more travels with precious people.”

3. She Surfs

Swimming isn’t the only thing Perez does to stay in shape at the beach. One other thing she enjoys doing is going surfing. She shared this highlight reel on Instagram of herself on a trip to Siargao. In it, Perez is seen surfing in the ocean. She captioned the post, “Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!! Here’s a short video I made featuring some of the trip’s highlights 😎S I A R G A O - F E B 2 0 2 3.”

4. She Hikes

Another outdoor activity Perez likes to do is go on hikes. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself hiking. She shared this set of photos of herself hiking in Siargao’s Coconut Farm. Perez captioned the post, “Thank you, Siargao! Will def be back but for now, back to work.” She also shared this set of photos of herself after a hike to a waterfall. Perez captioned that post, “Obsessed with the natural lighting at Tangadan Falls.”

5. She Bikes

Perez likes to go biking to stay in shape. At the beginning of the pandemic, Perez posted this biking photo on Instagram. She lamented about having to stay at home in the caption. “It's just been a week since I last left the house, only to get supplies, yet I already can’t wait to freely go out again, ride a bicycle, go to the beach, trek to some of the best peaks, and even eat out at my favorites, lamaw and silogan. But what I miss the most is the get togethers, the simple joys of spending time with my good friends and loved ones, playing with and hugging my little pamangkins, without any fears or anxieties looming over.”

Silva hasn’t always been comfortable with her body. She revealed on the talk show Venga La Alegria that she used to have an eating disorder. “I looked at myself in the mirror and I got desperate because I did not see myself as I wanted to be. Also I did not do my part too, maybe I didn't have the best diet, I did not exercise – but at that time you do not know how to get fit or how to get the body you really want." After a medical scare, Silva has put those struggles behind her.

3. She Loves to Travel

Silva loves to travel, and shared a photo from the Eiffel Tower. “Even with a thousand filters I use, nothing compares to observing her beauty up close...❤️😍,” she captioned it. "Experiencing new places often stimulates positive reactions," says Dr. Esteban Franco-Garcia, a geriatric physician with Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital, tells Harvard Health. "It helps you remain physically active and offers the brain new challenges." The institution adds: “In fact, a survey of American travelers reported by the Global Coalition on Aging found that 93% felt happier after time away, 77% believed their health improved afterward, and about 80% said travel increased their productivity, energy, and focus.”

4. She Goes on Adventures

“Live to the extreme, as if it were the last and without fear of enjoying yourself to the limit...Thank you @cancun_adventures for this crazy and fun experience, the natural beauty in our country is impressive. 😍🙌🏻,” she captioned a photo of herself on a dune buggy. (“Vive al extremo, como si fuera el último y sin miedo de disfrutar al límite…Gracias @cancun_adventures por esta loca y divertida experiencia, es impresionante la belleza natural que hay en nuestro país. 😍🙌🏻.”)

5. She Loves Tacos

“Mexico I love you, and tacos, well here is proof that it is one of my favorite Mexican foods. 😍👌🏻🙌🏻,” she wrote once, in front of a huge platter of tacos. “Most taco seasoning packets tell you to sprinkle on the seasoning after the meat cooks. But if you take the time to marinate the meat before even cooking it, you'll have a stronger burst of flavor in that taco. Try our fajita marinade for steak or chicken, or this easy marinade with homemade taco seasoning for fish and shrimp,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

"Vitamin D isn't naturally found in many foods, but you can get it from fortified milk, fortified cereal, and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Your body also makes vitamin D when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin (calciferol)," says the Mayo Clinic. "The amount of vitamin D your skin makes depends on many factors, including the time of day, season, latitude and your skin pigmentation. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, vitamin D production might decrease or be completely absent during the winter months. Sunscreen, while important to prevent skin cancer, also can decrease vitamin D production."

5. She Likes the Beach

"Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood. Water-based exercise can improve the health of pregnant people and has a positive effect on the pregnant person’s mental health. Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections," says the CDC.

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” 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 than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, 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 reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” 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

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. 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 some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout?
