1. She’s a Dancer

Derici is a fantastic dancer, regularly performing on stage. “Dance, both in the Olympics and in life, seem to be under-recognized and under-appreciated in its potential benefits for health and mental health,” says H. Steven Moffic, MD. “Finally, however, the benefits of dancing are being scientifically researched. Benefits from a variety of studies involve our hearts, lungs, bones, and brains... Rhythmic dance parallels our heart rhythms and blood flow. Although dance seems to rev people up, it actually reduces stress and cortisol levels.”

2. She Enjoys Fresh Orange Juice

One of Derici’s favorite drinks is fresh-squeezed orange juice. “Oranges contain health-promoting compounds known as flavanones,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “Research suggests that these phytochemicals help support the body and protect us from conditions such as heart disease and cancer – they’re also thought to have anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antimicrobial benefits. What’s more, orange peel actually contains higher amounts of certain nutrients than the flesh, so using recipes that incorporate the zest of an orange will give your diet an extra boost.”

3. She Loves Sushi

Derici enjoys Japanese cuisine, especially delicious sushi. “Brown rice in sushi brings a plethora of benefits – compared to white rice, it generally has more fiber and magnesium – a vital nutrient for energy production, healthy bones, hormonal balance and helps maintain our nervous system and cardiovascular health,” says nutritionist Kathleen Alleaume. “Naturally being the healthier fast-food option anyway, going one step further and making the simple decision to opt for the brown rice sushi options over the white will have you feeling healthier in no time.”

4. She Enjoys Leafy Salads

Derici balances out her diet with healthy, leafy salads. “Salads composed from even a few ingredients make a nutrient-rich meal,” says nutritionist Sandi Busch. “The greens alone have calcium, iron, potassium and B vitamins. Many salad basics, including tomatoes, sweet peppers and the greens, are chock-full of antioxidants. Add high fiber and low calories into the mix and you can't go wrong including a salad in your daily diet.”

5. She Snacks On Pineapple

Derici enjoys fresh pineapple for a healthy snack. “A number of studies suggest that bromelain helps reduce inflammation, swelling and bruising after injury or surgery,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “It can even be useful if taken before dental surgery, when it appears to help reduce pain and provide as much relief as anti-inflammatory medication.”
