Núñez loves to go outside and get fresh air, and she documents her travels on her Instagram. Núñez is often seen going to the beach, and posting swimsuit photos. According to a WebMD article medically reviewed by Carmelita Sweiner, MD, getting outside regularly helps you get vitamin D from the sun. The post elaborates, ”It's important for your bones, blood cells, and immune system. It also helps your body absorb more of certain minerals, like calcium and phosphorus. Your body needs sunlight to make it, but you don't need much. In the summer, just getting sun for 5 to 15 minutes, 2 or 3 times a week, should do it. In the winter, you might need a bit more.”
