Read on to see 5 ways Demir stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!
1. Kickboxing
Demir is a big fan of kickboxing workouts. Kickboxing is a great cardio exercise which also builds strength and helps relieve stress. "I recommend martial arts to those who want to stay healthy and lose weight," she says.
2. Intermittent Fasting
Demir practices intermittent fasting, eating nothing after 5pm. “When you go hours without eating, your body eventually runs out of stored sugar to use,” says UCLA Health. “Instead, it begins to burn fat to produce energy.”
3. Prioritizing Her Happiness
Demir is determined never to give up her independence. “I have no dreams of marriage,” she says. “All my friends got married, some of them are very happy, but I am also very happy. I can't always stay in the same house with a man. Living together is no different than marriage. One signature is missing. In between, I just want to be alone with myself so that I can produce, think, wonder, miss.”
4. Luxurious Baths
Demir loves to take baths, which are shown to have health benefits. “When we take a steamy shower or a hot bath, it opens up our pores and flushes out the dirt and toxins that build up throughout the day,” says SCL Health. “Aside from just feeling cleaner, it also helps us look and feel better about ourselves when we take care of our skin.”
5. Living Her Dream

Demir enjoys the satisfaction of following her passion and making a career out of it. “At no time in my life have I thought of doing anything other than music,” she says. “I can't either. In this process, I realized that it is necessary to produce content for digital platforms. I've been preparing and uploading live performance videos for my YouTube channel with my fellow travelers that I've been working with for years.”
