Disqualified Miss Universe Contestant Italy Mora in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares Selfies

Italy Mora is moving past the scandal that disqualified her from the Miss Universe 2024 competition, where she admitted to breaking pageant rules by leaving her hotel to meet her boyfriend. Despite the controversy, Italy is focusing on wellness and self-care. In a new social media post, she flaunted her fit physique in a two-piece workout set during a gym session. How does she stay healthy and balanced? Here's a look at her wellness habits.

Italy is the proud owner of a French Bulldog. She regularly takes it on walks and shares about the Frenchie in her Instagram Stories. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Italy believes that beauty comes from within. She loves sharing motivational messages with her many followers. "Beauty is how you feel inside and it is always reflected in your look so many things in life we just need a second to do spectacular things," she captioned a recent post.

With a super busy lifestyle, Italy understands that hydration is important. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

Italy also enjoys running. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say.

In her latest post, Italy takes a break from her strength training workout to take a mirror selfie. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills
