Draya is all about hydration. “Increase your water intake,” she explained to FashionBombDaily per Madame Noire about her go-to health tip. “Any amount is better than what you’ve been drinking. Your body and skin will thank you for it in the long run.” According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.

4. She Consumes Small Portions

“I try to cook as much as I can and I don’t necessarily cook healthy, but I use very small portions to keep the calories at bay,” she told FashionBombDaily. “I love soda……but my skin and body [don’t]. I’m a cheater about once a week.”

5. She Maintains a Balanced Approach to Health

“I am six months pescatarian. I’ve tried to limit my chicken and red meat consumption a lot. I try to drink a lot of water. I try to work out. My downfalls are sweets. I really love sweets. And alcohol goes with partying. If I’m going to drink, I try to diet. If I’m not going to diet, I try to skip dessert,” she told BET about her approach to health. “Dieting is always going to be a struggle, so that’s why you have to balance it with working out. I don’t eat whatever I want, but if I do eat whatever I want, I at least got to work out to make it even.”
