1. She Swims

As you can see from her recent Instagram post, Navarro likes to swim to stay in shape. Going swimming has a lot of benefits. Better Health states, “Swimming is a great recreational activity for people of all ages. Recreational swimming can provide you with a low-impact workout and it's a good way to relax and feel good.”

2. She’s An Ally

Being a political commentator and a host on The View, Navarro shares her opinion on a lot of things. She makes sure to support other communities. Navarro is an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. Drag shows have been attracting a lot of protesters and have been getting banned. Navarro spoke out against Ron DeSantis’ propositions in this Instagram post. “Here we go again. Now, Ron DeSaster is moving against Hyatt Hotel in Miami for hosting a drag show. DeSaster’s anti-drag manufactured culture war is: 1. a vindictive weaponizing of big government; 2. to attack a private business; 3. for a free choice made by parents regarding their kids; 4. NOT CONSERVATIVE. If you don’t want your kids at drag shows, don’t fucking take them! (Sorry dad. I know you don’t want me to cuss 🤷🏻‍♀️).”

3. She Defends Herself

Being in the public eye, especially as a political commentator, Navarro is subjected to a lot of criticism. However, she isn’t afraid to defend herself from them. After FOX News wrote a scathing article about her comments, Navarro hit back in this Instagram post. She captioned it, “Yes, @foxnews. That is what I said. And? Where is the lie?”

4. She Eats Healthy

Navarro recently lost a lot of weight, and many are wondering about her secrets. She shared some of them in this Instagram post. Navarro revealed that she always orders the healthiest meal when she flies, which is a lot. “One of the many little conscious life-changes I’ve made to lose weight, is to buy a salad at airport or pre-order the healthy meal on @americanair. Pre-ordering means I’m stuck with my choice and don’t fall into temptation.”

5. She Limits Her Drinking

In the same Instagram post, Navarro revealed that she has limited her drinking. In particular, she doesn’t drink when she flies. “I’ve also stopped drinking alcohol on planes. It adds up for me, since I usually spend 14-16 hours a week on a ✈️.” Limiting alcohol reduces the amount of sugar and inflammation in your body.

Fernanda Castillo, the Mexican actress, is back from a trip to Acapulco. And according to her most recent Instagram post, she’s missing it already. Castillo posted a selfie of herself in a multicolored bathing suit by the pool. She captioned the post, “Return me to Acapulco. To the laughter, the Pepo dances, the delicious food, the moments with Liam, but above all, always bring me back together with these people I love and who make my life more beautiful! Thank you for this celebration of life @erikhayser @pkastillo @anitadelrey @harfush @tamaramazarrasa @rossananf @pp_ayala @barbarapay @wuerever.” (That’s roughly translated.)

2. She Loves Baths

Castillo always makes time for herself to relax and unwind. Her way of doing so is by running a bath. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself in the tub. Baths have a lot of benefits, according to this post from The Cleveland Clinic. “Taking baths has great physical and mental health benefits,” family medicine provider, Amy Zack, MD, says to the clinic. “One benefit is cleanliness. Bathing cleans your skin, helping you avoid irritation, inflammation and sores caused by dead skin cell accumulation. The bacterial and fungal load from contact in your environment can also accumulate, increasing the risk of infection.”

3. She Hikes

Nicaraguan-American commentator Ana Navarro-Cárdenas is showing off her “beach hair” while on vacation at the beautiful Eden Roc resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The View star, 51, shared a picture of herself relaxing in a swimsuit and reading a good book. “Having the best day -listening to the waves, swimming in the ocean, feeling the breeze, soaking up the sun, and reading @allendeisabel’s new book, ‘The Wind Knows My Name.’ I’m reading it in Spanish. When I can, I prefer to read books in the author’s native language,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Navarro-Cárdenas stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. Wellness Spa Visit

Navarro-Cárdenas lost “about 4-5 lbs a month” after visiting the Rancho La Puerta spa with two close friends in 2022. “We had all turned 50 and wanted to be healthier,” she says. “I spent time there learning to cook and eat healthier, reprogramming the way I think of my lifestyle, and being more active. We did all sorts of exercise classes for hours a day.”

2. She’s a Foodie

Navarro-Cárdenas is adventurous about trying new food when she’s visiting new locations. “Whenever I travel, I try the local foods. When in Rome…get out of your comfort zone and try new things. Food is culture. I’m not much of a breakfast person, but it’s the only time of day they serve mangú, so I had to order it. Mangú is a Dominican staple made of mashed boiled plantains and butter. Cubans have a version of it called ‘fúfú’ and Puerto Ricans have “mofongo”. I ❤️ them all,” she captioned an Instagram post.

3. New Healthy Habits

Navarro-Cárdenas learned new, healthy habits after visiting the wellness spa. “I also sought professional help – nutritionist, medical supervision (I was on the verge of pre-diabetes), Pilates coach (I joined a Pilates club in Miami and NYC), and pickleball coach (I try to play at least twice a week),” she says. “So it’s been a complete lifestyle change -except for the rosé and margaritas, which I can’t give up.”

4. Bonding With Her Dog

Navarro-Cárdenas loves spending time with her dog ChaCha. “Ongoing research is showing that the health benefits of owning a dog are undeniable,” say the experts at Harvard Health. “Dog owners have lower blood pressure and healthier cholesterol levels, and a lower risk of heart disease, than non-owners.”

5. Cosmetic Skin Treatments

Navarro-Cárdenas is open about her recent skin cosmetic treatments. "Y’all have been asking why my face looks a little younger,” she says. “Needless to say, I love the question… I turned 50 and started obsessing. I baste myself like a Thanksgiving turkey with Vitamin C serum, hyaluronic acid and retinol. I get Daxxify on my forehead and I’m on my second treatment of something called Morpheus. Best I understand it, it’s needling and high-frequency heat to promote collagen production and tighten skin.”

Kristal Silva, the former pageant girl and TV presenter, knows what her fans love. Her Instagram is full of fitness photos. She just shared a new set of pool photos.

2. She Overcame Body Issues

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!
