"I'm writing this for girls like my little sister who are growing up on social media," she wrote in an Instagram story. "They're constantly seeing photoshopped, edited pictures and thinking that's reality, and everyone's eyes get used to seeing airbrushed skin, and suddenly they think THAT'S the norm. It isn't. It's fake. AND FAKE IS BECOMING THE NEW REAL." She added that "a completely unrealistic view of a woman's body," is promoted. "Girls, cellulite is normal. Fat is normal. It's beautiful and natural."

2. Celebrate Your “Curves and Cellulite and Stretch Marks and Fat”

In July, Camila was the subject of body shamers after a photo of her exercising went viral.

"I was just running in the park, minding my own business, trying to be fit, trying to keep it healthy. And I am wearing a top that shows my belly and I wasn't tucking it. 'Cause I was running and existing like a normal person that doesn't tuck it in all the time!" she explained in a body positive TikTok video she titled “I luv my body.” "I reminded myself: being at war with your body is so last season. I am grateful for this body that lets me do what I need to do. We are real women with curves and cellulite and stretch marks and fat and we gotta own that baby!"

3. Don’t Spend Too Much Time on Social Media

During an interview with NME, the star revealed one of her "good mental health choice” tips: stay off social media. "When I feel myself going on Instagram, I feel gross. I feel sick. Like, I wanna delete it because it makes me too self-conscious and it makes me have this weird feeling. I'm like, eugh. It's like [there's] something in me that's like: 'That's not how I want you to live your life,' you know?"

4. Eat Lots of Veggies

During an interview with BBC Radio, Camila admitted that her boyfriend, Shawn Mendes, is a big influence when it comes to her healthy eating habits. “Shawn has influenced me to be healthier. I was not healthy at all before. I never ate vegetables before. Just like, easy vegetables like cucumbers or cold carrots with cesar. Which I wouldn’t say are hard vegetables,” she said, admitting she never ate broccoli before her beau came into the picture.

5. Meditate for Your Mental Health

In 2020, Camila revealed that meditation has become a regular mental health exercise for her. “Meditation has changed my life in the last few months,” she wrote on Instagram. “I didn’t share this with you guys at the time because honestly I was just trying to be okay, but I was experiencing severe anxiety. it was meditation- it was practicing every single day multiple times a day that has been healing me, and, more than just helping me manage strong emotions like anxiety and stress, it’s making me a better human. not only does it help in times like this with stress and anxiety, meditation is the practice of strengthening habits like empathy, love, and compassion- making you feel more connected to not only everybody around you , but living beings in general like animals, plants, and the earth, which is a living being, itself.”

Whether she’s weightlifting or doing cardio, she always takes the time to warm up before intense workouts to avoid injury. Proper warm-ups can not only help loosen stiff muscles, but it can help with performance, increased blood flow, and more. And: "Cooling down after your workout allows for a gradual recovery of preexercise heart rate and blood pressure. Cooling down may be most important for competitive endurance athletes, such as marathoners, because it helps regulate blood flow. Cooling down doesn't appear to help reduce muscle stiffness and soreness after exercise, but more research is needed," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Tailors Her Diet To Her Workout

Camila knows the importance of nutrition to accompany working out. You can feel sluggish and foggy if you’re not getting enough nutrients to replenish your body after an intense cardio sweat sesh. "If you are in good shape and want to fuel a daily, light-intensity workout, eat about 3 to 5 grams of carbohydrates for every kilogram of body weight. For someone who weighs 150 pounds (68 kilograms) that's between 200 and 340 grams a day," says the Mayo Clinic.

1. She Opened Up About Her Anxiety

After attempting to live with her suffocating anxiety in her late teens and early twenties, Camila finally opened up about it. “It was something I just lived with. I was used to having functioning anxiety that got really bad every half a year. Then I started opening up to friends, and I realized how much suffering and neuroses are normal, and that we’re all bats**t crazy in our own way, but when it keeps you from having healthy relationships and being more often than not in a relatively stable place, that I needed to seek out some therapy. Talking about it really helped me realize, ‘Oh, I think this is making my life harder than it is for other people,’” she told Cosmopolitan UK.

Camila sees a professional weekly. “I love therapy!” she told the publication, adding that being open and honest helps treat her anxiety. “I think pretending is a form of psychological torture and brings the most anxiety. We do that so much in our society and culture. We’re constantly hustling and putting on a smile when we don’t feel good,” she said.

3. She Added Healthy Habits

During the pandemic, Camila picked up healthy habits, like spending time with her family, riding bikes, and cooking. “Obviously, this is a huge luxury, but if I felt like that again, I wouldn’t force myself to do anything and I wouldn’t pretend because who is that for? If I’m not being honest, then I don’t know what I’m bringing to people, you know?” she said.

4. She Know When to Delete Apps

Camila knows how to protect her mental health from trolls. “If I see something that hurts my feelings, I’ll just violently delete my apps. And then I’ll miss Instagram and TikTok and I’ll redownload them again, and then it’s just a vicious cycle that repeats over and over. But yeah, social media is interesting. It’s got good and bad.”

5. She Protects Her Privacy

Camila also protects her privacy and tries to control her own narrative via social media. “There are varying degrees of discomfort [with fame]. The beach thing, paparazzi stuff and people filming me, is really uncomfortable,’ she says, referring to a similar experience at a beach in her home town of Miami, where photographers clamored to get a bikini shot of her. ‘I was in the ocean and there were six [photographers] four feet away from me. It was so wrong and just weird. [But] I adjust. I don’t go to those places any more or put myself in vulnerable situations like that. It’s fine, I don’t feel like people are going to be interested in my body forever.”
