Akalay credits green juice with giving her the perfect boost when she’s in need of a reset. “Consider blending instead of juicing,” says Katherine Zeratsky, RD, LD. “Blending the edible parts of fruits and vegetables produces a drink that contains more healthy phytonutrients and fiber. Fiber can help you feel full.”

2. Pilates Year Round

Akalay loves Pilates, especially when it’s too cold to work out outdoors. “Pilates lengthens and stretches all the major muscle groups in your body in a balanced fashion,” says the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. “It requires concentration in finding a centre point to control your body through movement.”

3. Swimming In the Summer

Swimming is Akalay’s favorite workout when the weather gets warm. “Swimming, like all exercise, releases endorphins in your brain,” says Dr Samantha Wild, Clinical Lead for Women's Health and Bupa GP. “These are the hormones that make you feel good. They help to increase positivity and bring about a sense of wellbeing and happiness.”

4. She Loves To Dance

Akalay loves the therapeutic benefits of dancing. “Two hours in which I forgot everything, I was swept away from the place, time and even my life,” she captioned an Instagram video. “Is it not freedom to dance under the guarantee of your partner even with your eyes completely closed?”

5. Retinol For Skincare

Akalay takes care of her beautiful skin by using ingredients such as retinol. “Retinol helps unclog pores,” say the experts at the Cleveland Clinic. “Retinol also exfoliates your skin and increases collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a fresher, plump appearance.”

When it comes to her diet, Curtis tells Yahoo that she tries to eat healthy most of the time. However, she isn’t afraid to enjoy herself once in a while. “If I really can’t take it anymore, I’ll give in to pigging out,” she says. “I’m not used to having huge amounts of food anymore. But when I’m really stressed, I have to give in or else it’ll make me crazy.”

3. She Works Out With Her Daughter

It can be difficult to work out while having a young child, but Curtis has a unique way of doing so. She posted this video on Instagram of herself doing leg lifts while taking her daughter on a walk.

Pero now, on my 3rd week it’s coming through! As of today, I’m at 121lbs losing excess fat but not losing my muscle mass.”

2. She Wants To Empower Women

Cavadzade was asked about her image in her Women’s Fitness interview. She says that she wants to use it as a way of empowering others. “I love this image. Because this is the dress I prefer to wear, the jacket! But it's completely 'Is this really your prose?' If you say no, it's not. Because I just like this image. Thanks to this image, I both give myself strength, overcome my fears, and also think that I empower women. As long as they don't misunderstand me and they're not angry.”

3. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Cavadzade is all about having self-confidence. In her Women’s Fitness interview, she was asked if she ever got self-conscious. She answered “no”, and encouraged others to develop the same attitude. “It never happens! As women, we are so cornered about being attractive. Almost every moment of us is self-censorship. That's why for me, a woman who has not been forced to hide her charm, is a stance to be proud of."

4. She Gets Some Sun

Sunshine is a great source of vitamin D. "You can get vitamin D in a variety of ways, including:

• Sun exposure on your skin (however, people with darker skin and older people may not get enough vitamin D through sunlight. Your geographical location may also prevent adequate vitamin D exposure through sunlight).
• Through the food you eat.
• Through nutritional supplements," says the Cleveland Clinic.

5. She Remains Chill

"I embrace more of who I am now. I am peaceful, happy and calm," she told Hello. "Once you've learned which situations affect your self-esteem, notice your thoughts about them. This includes what you tell yourself (self-talk) and how you view the situations," says the Mayo Clinic. "Your thoughts and beliefs might be positive, negative or neutral. They might be rational, based on reason or facts. Or they may be irrational, based on false ideas."

Mernes opened up about her wellness routine in an interview. She says that she lives a pretty active life. “If I am skinnier it is because I am a thousand. But like everything, I eat well.

Now I'm going to start swimming, but well the thing is that I never have a day off.”

In the same interview, Mernes opened up about her past insecurities and spoke out about unfair beauty standards. “I didn't wear muscle or short sleeves because I said 'I have fatter arms' and people are going to judge me for that. I mean, imagine how my head was, really bad. And well, I had a really bad time at that moment and then I understood that it is not like that and that nothing is wrong. But you know what happens? It's that people put me in that place of the Argentine woman, that you have to fulfill a stereotype, that you have to wear these clothes, that you have to say or do this. And she broke my head that she felt that she had to comply with things that society imposes on her that are stupid.”

She grew up admiring Thalia, Rihanna and Beyoncé. “I would watch them on TV and I couldn’t believe it. I’d say: ‘I hope one day I can see myself like them!’ Because whenever I listened to them, they instilled a message of power and confidence in me,” she told Billboard.

5. She Benefits From Sun Exposure

"One of the best (and easiest) ways to get vitamin D is by being outside. Our bodies produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight—about 15 minutes in the sun a day is adequate if you’re fair skinned. And since Vitamin D helps your body maintain calcium and prevents brittle, thin, or misshapen bones, soaking in sun may be just what the doctor ordered," says Select Health.
