Watermelon is one of Suárez’s go-to snacks. “Watermelon is a naturally low-calorie package,” says Christina Meyer-Jax, RDN, LDN, Standard Process nutrition chair and assistant professor at Northwestern Health Sciences University. “It contributes key antioxidant nutrients that support disease prevention and overall wellness.”

Suárez enjoys water sports such as waterskiing. “Exercising outdoors increases our exposure to sunlight, enhancing vitamin D production, which has been linked to improving mood, promoting bone health, boosting immune system function and reducing inflammation,” says Cedric X. Bryant, PhD, FACSM.

3. She’s a Vegetarian

Suárez sticks to a vegetarian diet. “A diet rich in vegetables and fruits can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a positive effect upon blood sugar, which can help keep appetite in check,” says Harvard Health. “Eating non-starchy vegetables and fruits like apples, pears, and green leafy vegetables may even promote weight loss. Their low glycemic loads prevent blood sugar spikes that can increase hunger.”

4. Horseback Riding

Suárez loves horseback riding. “Interacting with animals has been shown to decrease levels of cortisol (a stress-related hormone) and lower blood pressure,” according to the National Institutes of Health. “Other studies have found that animals can reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and boost your mood.”

5. Face Masks

Suárez likes to maintain her beautiful skin with the occasional face mask. “Homemade masks are easy to prepare and can be very relaxing when used while you’re taking a bath,” says Lana Storchak from the spa at the Ritz-Carlton, Toronto. “But before using any homemade facial masks, always test it on another small part of your skin (such as your forearm) to ensure that you don’t have any allergies.”

Chilean model Coté López is sending a loving message to her mother on her birthday.

1. She Works Out With Her Family

López loves to work out with her husband Luis Antonio Jiménez and their three children. “Exercising as a family doesn’t just create physically and mentally healthy individuals, though that is a huge payoff,” says clinical psychologist Dr. Christina Hibbert. “It creates a healthier family unit. Being active together doesn’t just help wear kids out so they’ll go to bed earlier and sleep longer (which, let’s face it parents, is a bonus). Exercise has the potential to bring families closer.”

2. She Paraglides

López loves adventurous activities such as paragliding, which can provide a huge adrenaline rush. “Stress is an essential part of life. It is perhaps the greatest source of growth and accomplishment,” says clinical psychologist Inna Khazan. “Adrenaline is part of a healthy response to life's challenges.”

3. She Loves To Swim

López enjoys swimming, especially with her children. “Swimming can improve mood in both men and women,” says the CDC. “For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood. Water-based exercise can improve the health of pregnant people and has a positive effect on the pregnant person’s mental health.”

4. She Does Pole Workouts

López is an accomplished pole dancer, and loves incorporating the exercise into her workout regimen. “Pole is a fantastic core workout,” says pole athlete Joanna Pawelczyk. “You won't ever have to do sit ups or crunches again, and with time, that six pack will be yours. As someone who did weights at the gym religiously four to five times a week before I started pole I can confidently say that no amount of gym gave me the same toned body that pole does.”

5. She Puts Her Family First

López loves nothing better than spending time with her family. “Good relationships keep us happier and healthier,” says psychiatrist Dr. Robert Waldinger, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development. “Our study has shown that the people who fared the best were the people who leaned into relationships, with family, with friends, with community.”

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.

1. She Goes Swimming

Silva loves to go to the beach and the pool. Naturally, she loves to swim and spend time in the water. She has posted a lot of photos on Instagram of herself swimming. She posted this set of photos of herself in the water.

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!

Rafaella Santos is looking sunkissed, relaxed, and happy in Miami Beach, Florida. The 27-year-old younger sister of Brazilian soccer star Neymar shared a balcony picture from her trip, posing in a black bikini against a background of blue skies, palm trees, ocean, and sand. “Wonderful,” a fan commented. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Santos 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. Fresh Fruit Bowl For Breakfast

Santos enjoys fresh fruit bowls for a healthy start to the day, especially with strawberries. “One cup of strawberries (or about eight medium strawberries) has only 45 calories, 3 grams of dietary fiber (12 percent of your daily value) and more vitamin C than an orange,” says Allyn Wergin, RDN to the Mayo Health Clinic. “Vitamin C is a known antioxidant that helps protect the body against oxidative stress.”

2. Swimming In the Sea

Santos loves swimming, be it in the pool or ocean. “Whether you have a joint injury or are recovering from surgery, the water will allow you to stay active, maintain fluidity in your joints and activate multiple muscle groups,” says Valerie Taraborelli, a physician assistant in orthopedic surgery at Banner Health in Arizona. “Swimming in warm water can be advantageous as this will allow for improved circulation that relaxes muscles and allows for safe execution of stretches and exercises.”

3. Chocolate Lover

Santos’ favorite dessert is anything chocolate-based. “People who ate dark chocolate reported that they felt less stressed, and researchers confirmed that after eating dark chocolate, there were reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol,” says Johns Hopkins Health. “This may be related to dark chocolate’s effects on heart health, since stress is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.”

4. Bonding With Her Dog

Santos enjoys the many health benefits of bonding with a pet. “Stress is not the only problem which our bond to our pets can help,” says Stanley Coren PhD, DSc, FRSC. “Up to 25% of people who go to general practitioners do so for depressive and anxiety disorders. Depression is actually considered to be much more disabling, both socially and even in terms of physical functioning, than many chronic physical illnesses such as diabetes, arthritis and back pain.”

5. Cosmetic Enhancements

Santos is open about her cosmetic enhancements. "I'm all for it and I do it," she says. "I've already had lip fillers. My mouth has always been fleshy, but I put it on the upper part. I also do Botox and filler for dark circles and even peeling and skin cleansing.”
