Great for nourishing hands, elbows, knees, lips, prevent stretch marks.. this cream works for everything and I always carry it with me.”

Lomana is happiest by the sand and sea, and paddleboards whenever she can.

Lomana enjoys tea as part of her healthy diet, preferring to drink it without milk or cream. “Different teas offer different benefits,” says Beth Czerwony, RD. “Choose what fits your need… Green tea is the champ when it comes to offering health benefits,” says Czerwony. “It’s the Swiss Army knife of teas. It covers a lot of territory. There are so many teas out there. Try different varieties and see what works best for you.”

4. She Loves To Swim

Lomana loves to swim, especially in the ocean. Studies show that being near the ocean is tremendously good for both physical and mental health. "Blue space therapy is a woefully underused method of lifestyle prescription for our physical and mental health. Still, the research proves that taking a dip can boost our wellbeing ten-fold," says Dr. Ruth Micallef. "Wild swimming has a host of research-proven benefits, including improved self-esteem, social confidence, and resilience—to name just a few."

5. She Walks and Hikes

Lomana loves to walk as part of her daily lifestyle, and also for exercise. “The nice thing about hiking is that it exists along an entire continuum, from a gentle walk on a flat wooded path to mountain climbing,” says Dr. Aaron L. Baggish, associate director of the Cardiovascular Performance Program at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. “There’s a real sense of peace and composure you get from being outside and away from everything.”

1. She Loves Pilates

Morali incorporates regular Pilates sessions into her workout routine. “Like yoga, one of the best benefits [of Pilates] is that well-being that can come from feeling better,” says yoga therapist Judi Bar. “It strengthens your core and, ultimately, it can help lower back pain because, besides tight muscles, lower back pain also comes from misalignment and lack of strength.”

2. She Snorkels

Morali is a fearless snorkeler, especially on vacation. "Blue spaces provide us with distractions that take our mind away from the day-to-day hassles of life," says Kate Campbell, a health psychology researcher at Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. "The sound of the crashing waves, the smell of salty air, the crunching of sand beneath our toes…The sensations relax our bodies and tell our minds to switch off."

3. She Loves Animals

Morali is passionate about animals, from dogs to elephants. Interacting with animals such as horses releases oxytocin, experts say. "The beauty of the horse is that it can be therapeutic in so many different ways," says Breeanna Bornhorst, executive director of the Northern Virginia Therapeutic Riding Program in Clifton, Va. "Some of our riders might benefit from the connection and the relationship-building with the horse and with their environment. Other riders maybe will benefit physically, from the movements, and build that core strength, and body awareness and muscle memory."

4. She Swims

Morali loves swimming, both in the pool and in the ocean. "We know there are four main ways that blue spaces benefit health – through physical activity, stress reduction, providing a space for socialization [and finally the] environmental factors that have a knock on impact on our health,” says Niamh Smith, a researcher from Glasgow Caledonian University. “For example, if a river is tree-lined, you have shade."

5. She Does Yoga

Regular yoga sessions are an important part of Morali’s workout routine. “There are many options when it comes to finding yoga poses to wake up both your body and your mind,” says Bar. “And for many of them, you can do them right where you are. Once you begin to develop a daily practice, you’ll begin to feel better all around!”

The opportunity comes to you, you'll see if you ride it. Hold on tight, don't let go. Laugh... Weeps that each one has his time. Laugh... Cry, live your life, enjoy it all.”

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

"Vitamin D isn't naturally found in many foods, but you can get it from fortified milk, fortified cereal, and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Your body also makes vitamin D when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin (calciferol)," says the Mayo Clinic. "The amount of vitamin D your skin makes depends on many factors, including the time of day, season, latitude and your skin pigmentation. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, vitamin D production might decrease or be completely absent during the winter months. Sunscreen, while important to prevent skin cancer, also can decrease vitamin D production."

5. She Likes the Beach

"Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. 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. Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections," says the CDC.
