1. Swimming and Snorkeling
Miller is an accomplished swimmer and snorkeler. “Many people say that by simply being in the water they feel more relaxed and less stressed,” says swimming instructor Emily Morrissey. “Regular exercise helps reduce anxiety and depression, as it releases ‘feel good’ hormones and keeps our brains working in a healthy way. Learning to swim can allow you the opportunity to swim in beautiful places outdoors which many people find to be memories they cherish.”
2. She Skis
Miller loves to ski with her friends. “Skiing gets you outdoors in the winter when we often end up on the couch and are passive,” says physical therapist Scott Tremmel. “We’re just not as active when the cold weather sets in, but skiing keeps you moving to continue to build up your endurance. When you’re skiing, you’re often out with a group of friends and you’re socializing. You’re getting fresh air and taking in the beautiful scenery around you. It’s good for your emotional health.”
3. Adrenaline Junkie
Miller is a self-confessed adrenaline junkie and loves skydiving. “The sense of achievement you get completing a tandem skydive is amazing,” says Carl Griffiths, Marketing Manager at GoSkydive. “There is a reason a tandem skydive is part of lots of peoples bucket lists. Our guests always say it’s the best thing they have done.”
4. Coffee Drinker

Miller enjoys the health benefits and energy boost coffee provides. “Almost two-thirds of Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease are women,” says Johns Hopkins Medicine. “But the caffeine in two cups of coffee may provide significant protection against developing the condition. In fact, researchers found that women age 65 and older who drank two to three cups of coffee a day were less likely to develop dementia in general.”
5. Animal Lover

Miller loves animals, especially her beloved dog. “There are many health benefits of owning a pet,” says the CDC. “They can increase opportunities to exercise, get outside, and socialize. Regular walking or playing with pets can decrease blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels. Pets can help manage loneliness and depression by giving us companionship. Most households in the United States have at least one pet.”
