1. She Put Her Education First

In August 2021, King revealed to Soap Opera Network that she would be stepping down from her role in the main cast of The Young And The Restless. King says that she wanted to focus on her college courses. "I’m taking an accelerated math class that’s only six weeks long, but next quarter, I’ll be taking a lot more classes. As of right now, my major will be psychology. And hopefully, I’ll be working that in with acting, but I’m in the pursuit of learning as much as I can and constantly growing as a person.”

2. She Wants To Help Others

King’s departure from The Young And The Restless was not just to focus on her studies. She also wanted to help others who have struggled with mental health issues. She says to Soap Opera Network, "Depression is something I’ve struggled with for years, so I’m passionate about finding ways to not only help myself but others in that way. That would be extremely rewarding for me.”

King says to Soap Opera Network that after leaving The Young And The Restless, she wants to try new things. She says that she is in no rush to find her next path, and is taking it day by day. “I also went to Europe for a while and I’m also auditioning but I feel like I’m at a weird crossroads in my life of, ‘What do I want to do next?’ I’m just taking it day by day of exploring what options are out there for me. I have a lot of things brewing, so it’s about finding out which one is the most interesting to me."

4. She Goes Hiking

King is a big fan of going hiking, and she is making sure to check out the popular hiking spots while she’s in Hawaii. King posted this stunning series of photos on Instagram of herself and her friends finishing a hike, with the ocean view in sight. She captioned the post, “Is she taking in the view, or hiding her boob sweat? The world will never know.”

5. She Spends Time With Her Dog

King has a Golden Retriever names Poppy, who she prominently features on her Instagram. King loves to do activities with Poppy, and posts photos and videos of the things they do together. She posted this photo of the two of them going for a walk on the beach, captioning it, “She’s only hangin out with me ‘cause I have Nilla wafers in my pocket.” She also posted this set of photos of the two of them walking in a field, with the caption, “Me & my best friend, (not so sure what’s goin on w my hair...thank god dogs love unconditionally).”

1. Hiking In the Hills

Lindhome is constantly active and exploring, even on her vacations. “Outdoor exercise can be fun and beneficial, but any type of exercise is worthwhile and worth pursuing,” according to ACE Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Institute. “Both forms can help you successfully achieve the desired results whether you exercise indoors or outdoors. It appears that the biggest benefit of an outdoor exercise routine is more mental than physical. The good, relaxed, positive feelings associated with an outdoor exercise routine can make it more enjoyable to perform and a person will most likely be more willing to ‘stick’ to it. Be active inside or out, but be active!”

2. Theater Fan

Lindhome loves going to the theater, which like other forms of entertainment, can positively impact mental health and wellbeing. “Participating in entertainment activities with others can help to foster social connections and improve mental health,” says Krish Tangella MD, MBA. “For example, going to a concert or joining a sports team can provide opportunities to meet new people and build friendships.”

3. Tea Drinker

Lindhome enjoys tea for a delicious energy boost. “Drinking black tea without added sweeteners can decrease blood glucose and improve your body’s ability to manage sugar,” according to the experts at UCLA Health. “Research also shows that black tea improves blood sugar levels immediately following meals in normal and pre-diabetic adults.”

4. World Travel

Lindhome travels around the world for work and for play. “Traveling for pleasure can contribute to subjective well-being because people have more opportunities to detach from their work environment, to experience new things, and to control what they want to do during vacations,” says Paul Simeone, PhD, Vice President and Medical Director of Behavioral Health with Lee Health. “There’s ample research to support that positive travel experiences can make a person healthier, can strengthen their relationships, and benefits their overall wellness.”

5. Red Wine For Celebration

Lindhome enjoys red wine on special occasions. “Red wine is sometimes seen as a healthy choice, particularly as we associate it with the Mediterranean diet,” says British Heart Foundation senior dietician Victoria Taylor. “But while it is often included in the traditional diet, it isn’t an essential part and should be drunk in moderation. It contains antioxidants, which reportedly have a range of benefits. However, other foods – including grapes, blueberries and strawberries – provide antioxidants without the negative effects of alcohol.

1. Beach Lover

Thuy loves the beach, calling it her happy place. “High levels of minerals such as magnesium, iodine and potassium are found in sea water, all of which help fight off infection, assist the body in healing and detoxifying and provide therapeutic effects,” says UPMC Health. “The health benefits of ocean air also detoxify the body by filling your lungs with negatively charged ions that boost your immune system. Swimming in sea water also unclogs pores in the skin and allows for the expulsion of toxins from the body. Another benefit of sea water includes enhanced circulation. Sea water restores essential minerals that have been depleted by poor diet, stress and environmental toxins.”

2. Pizza and Salad

A typical meal for Thuy is pizza with a big side salad. “Pile the vegetable toppings high, or serve along with a salad, and your pizza meal is incredibly balanced,” says nutritionist Dana Angelo White, MS, RD, ATC. “Lean meats like chicken and ground turkey are welcomed additions. Toppings can also be placed atop a cooked pizza – that is the best time to pile on fresh herbs, a drizzle of hot honey or some lightly dressed greens.”

3. Representing Asian Actors

Thuy is proud to act as a role model for Asian people on screen. “Part of the reason I chose acting as my craft was because there was such a huge lack of diversity on TV and cinema in my hometown of Montreal, Quebec,” she says. “To this day, the industry there still lags behind in terms of representation, and that’s something I have always wanted to defy. Hopefully, I can do my part so young people of color in Quebec can grow up feeling like they matter – that they’re seen and have a right to exist with all their colors, quirks, and weirdness. It also just makes me mad that Asian Americans are largely ignored in popular media. This has got to change! Acting has given me my voice, so I am deeply grateful that I can live in a way that satisfies both my social activist and artistic sides.”

4. LGBTQ Role Model

Thuy says she is honored to give marginalized communities exposure. “I’m moved by the support and love from Black Lightning fans in the LGBTQ community,” she says. “They are my favorite people in the world, and I want to give them so much love! I’m super proud and honored to play Grace Choi and to do my part to give them voice and visibility, especially young LGBTQ women of color. I understand how identifying as bisexual is still confusing for society, and that some people don’t think it’s a legit thing. But it is! I remember years ago reading an article arguing that we all fall somewhere on the sexual orientation spectrum. It’s important to me that I am neither straight nor a lesbian; I am bisexual, and that is its own thing. I’ve loved hearing from fans how much it’s meant to them to hear that proudly and unequivocally spoken.”

5. Fresh Fruit

Thuy loves snacking on fresh fruit, including pineapple, papaya, and watermelon. “Pineapple is the only food known to contain bromelain, an enzyme that helps your skin and tissues heal,” says Julia Zumpano, RD, LD. “Bromelain appears to produce substances that combat in pain and swelling. If you have achy joints from osteoarthritis, try adding pineapple into your diet, but don’t stop taking your medications or change your dose without talking to your doctor.”

Indian actress Kate Sharma is enjoying a magical trip to the island of Koh Samui, Thailand. Sharma shared a reel of herself swimming in a beautiful pool, wearing a bright pink swimsuit and sarong, with palms and blue skies in the background. “Poolside paradise 😍,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sharma 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 Lime Soda

Sharma’s go-to drink is fresh lime soda. “Limes are packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients," says Carly Sedlacek RDN, LD. “Limes are low in calories, high in micronutrients and punch above their weight with regard to both water and fiber content. They’re really good for us, but most of us aren’t going to make a snack of them. The juice — without added sugar — is the best we can do.”

2. Running Outside

Sharma loves running outside, especially at the beach. “There’s good evidence that spending time outside can reduce stress, depression levels, and anxiety,” says Josh Lawler, a UW environmental & forest sciences professor. “We suspect that one of the routes for the physical benefits is through [the] decreased stress and anxiety.”

3. She Chooses Happiness

Sharma says she chooses happiness in her personal life. “I don't date much but I have had rough patches in relationships. Ups and down are part of life and moving on is an art of life,” she says. “Break ups were there but that all made me so strong and I am a girl who looks at the broader aspect in life. So pain was there but feeling the pain and being sad is a choice.

So I chose happiness. It took time to heal but today I learned happiness is the most important thing in this world.”

4. Bathing Beauty

Sharma loves to take baths. “Taking a bath has great physical and mental health benefits,” says family medicine provider Amy Zack, MD. “Soaking in a tub is something many people have access to but don’t take advantage of enough. But it can be beneficial for a lot of people.”

5. She Is an Artist

When it comes to her career, Sharma loves the benefits creativity brings to her life. “Artist is an artist, no matter where he/she performs," she says. "It’s always a pack of feelings and entertainment which we have to give to the audience. Films and music videos both tell a story. The only difference is that films are on a larger scale in every form, while music videos take less time but require the same level of consistency and hard work as an artist."

The Bachelor star Rachael Kirkconnell is thrilled to show off her new swimsuit designs on social media. Kirkconnell, 26, promoted the bathing suits the best way possible—by modeling them herself. The reality star shared pictures of herself posing in a green print swimsuit and a black one-piece swimsuit at the beach. “ICYMI- we’re live! 💚🌸🥥All swim, lounge, accessories, and more are available at the link in my bio, and my code RACHAEL10 will get you a discount! I cannot WAIT to see you guys in these pieces and thank you for all the love and support, it means the world to me! love you love you 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kirkconnell 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. Balanced Lifestyle

Kirkconnell works hard, but makes sure she has fun too. "I think the key is balance!” she says. “If you know you are about to indulge in a heavy meal that night, make sure you are getting a good workout in that morning and have a super light and healthy breakfast and lunch… I'm a huge believer in the 80/20 rule, while we love to go out to eat or splurge on big meals, we have more meals that are healthy and nutritious than not. 80% healthy, 20% treats!”

2. Always Ready For a Workout

Kirkconnell makes sure she is always ready for a good workout, even when she’s on the road. “Other than a good pair of sneakers or headphones, I also think some workout gear like Bala Bangles or resistance bands help you get a good workout in anywhere, even in your living room!” she says. “Some of my favorite shoes to work out in lately are either the On Cloudnovas or lululemon Chargefeels, they're so comfortable and versatile and I love the way they look.”

3. She’s a Dancer

Kirkconnell helped boyfriend Matt James rehearse for his stint on Dancing with the Stars. "She's been my dance partner outside of Dancing with the Stars," James says. "I come back and try to apply the same lessons that I learned during my rehearsals. She's been keeping me in shape!"

4. Sushi Lover

Kirkconnell loves sushi, especially omega-3 packed salmon. “Omega-3 fatty acids may lower your cardiovascular disease risk when you consume them as part of your diet,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “In general, it’s better to opt for food sources (like fish) rather than pills.”

5. Post-Workout Skincare

Kirkconnell makes sure to take care of her skin after getting a workout. “Paula's Choice has some great Gentle Cleansing Cloths that are oil-free and great to use right when you're done sweating,” she says. “I also love to use the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask whenever I'm on the go as a moisturizer.” She also wears sunscreen every day.
