1. She Eats Clean

Perry told People that she enjoys a healthy diet. Back when preparing for her Super Bowl performance, for example, Perry said her diet included light soups, proteins, and whole grains. "Protein is important because it provides the amino acids your body needs to build and repair muscle," says the Mayo Clinic. "Most research suggests very active people should eat 1.2 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. That means a 150-pound person should eat 82 to 136 grams each day. People who aren't active should eat less protein. Aim for .8 grams per kilogram of body weight each day."

2. She Works Out Five Days A Week

Perry is one of many celebrity clients of trainer Harley Pasternak, and the two work out regularly togehter. "Katy aims to exercise five days a week, doing short, high-intensity workouts, including lunges and hip thrusts," Pasternak tells the Belfast Telegraph. "These tone, as well as boost her metabolism, and can be done anywhere."

3. She Loves Apple Cider Vinegar

Perry is a big fan of drinking apple cider vinegar, and she’s had this habit for a while. “My mother made me drink it every day, but now it’s a staple for me,” she said to Prevention. "Many people love apple cider vinegar as a conditioning rinse for your hair," Julieanna Hever, MS, RD, CPT, a plant-based dietitian and author of The Vegiterranean Diet and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition, tells our sister site Eat This, Not That!. "Simply pour it over your hair in the shower after shampooing and it is touted for enhancing shine and cleaning off built-up product."

4. She Jumps Rope

Perry is a big fan of jumping rope, and says that it is a regular workout for her. She tells Us Weekly, "I like to jump rope! I can do the cross-over and double jumps." "A jump rope is an often overlooked and underestimated fitness tool, despite its exceptional versatility. Jumping rope is a full-body cardio exercise that has many great benefits and is the perfect workout 'filler.' This means you can use jumping rope in between lifting weights or other exercises to keep your heart rate up and skip that long cardio session after your workout," says ACE Fitness.

5. She Finds Healthy Alternatives To Her Favorite Junk Foods

Perry admits to Us Weekly that she “has a salt tooth," and craves unhealthy food at times. However, with the help with her trainer, Harley Pasternak, Perry finds healthier ways to enjoy her favorite cravings. “We find a healthier option,” she says to Us Weekly. "Toasted whole-grain bread crackers, such as rye Melba toast, are good sources of fiber and complex carbohydrates. Five pieces of Melba toast have about 97 calories," says the Mayo Clinic.

Emilia Mernes has become one of the most popular Latin singers in the past few years. She has also acquired a strong following on Instagram. Mernes recently posted a stunning new set of photos.

1. She Swims

Mernes spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is go to the beach and go swimming. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself by the water. In this set of photos she posted, Mernes is seen on a boat and on a paddleboard. She captioned the post, “Made in Argentina.”

2. She’s Active

Mernes opened up about her wellness routine in an interview. She says that she lives a pretty active life. “If I am skinnier it is because I am a thousand. But like everything, I eat well. The people around me know that I eat, it's not that I'm skinny, it's because I'm active, I dance a lot, I rehearse a lot, I'm doing things every day and I don't train, I should. Now I'm going to start swimming, but well the thing is that I never have a day off.”

3. She Speaks Out About Beauty Standards

In the same interview, Mernes opened up about her past insecurities and spoke out about unfair beauty standards. “I didn't wear muscle or short sleeves because I said 'I have fatter arms' and people are going to judge me for that. I mean, imagine how my head was, really bad. And well, I had a really bad time at that moment and then I understood that it is not like that and that nothing is wrong. But you know what happens? It's that people put me in that place of the Argentine woman, that you have to fulfill a stereotype, that you have to wear these clothes, that you have to say or do this. And she broke my head that she felt that she had to comply with things that society imposes on her that are stupid.”

4. She Admires Mega-Powerful Women

She grew up admiring Thalia, Rihanna and Beyoncé. “I would watch them on TV and I couldn’t believe it. I’d say: ‘I hope one day I can see myself like them!’ Because whenever I listened to them, they instilled a message of power and confidence in me,” she told Billboard.

5. She Benefits From Sun Exposure

"One of the best (and easiest) ways to get vitamin D is by being outside. Our bodies produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight—about 15 minutes in the sun a day is adequate if you’re fair skinned. And since Vitamin D helps your body maintain calcium and prevents brittle, thin, or misshapen bones, soaking in sun may be just what the doctor ordered," says Select Health.

Missy Keating, the actress, singer and Ronan Keating's daughter, just shared a bathing suit photo of her loving lives.

1. She Doesn’t Let Criticism Bother Her

Keating has had a lot of criticism on social media. However, she tells Gossie that she doesn’t let it bother her. “I’ve had a very good experience with social media over the years, but you’ll get the odd mean message every now and then. I’ve grown up with thick skin, and growing up in the spotlight has probably given me that thick skin. You’ve just got to remind yourself who these kind of people are that are commenting.”

2. She’s True To Herself

Keating tells Gossie that she is true to herself, especially when it comes to her career. “I just take everything in my stride. Everything I do, I do it my way. When I was growing up, my mom and dad always told me: ‘Whatever you do, do it to the fullest. Do it the way you want to do it. Give it your all, and have no regrets.’ And that is something that has stayed with me for life. If I’m on a shoot or on a job, I remind myself that I’m here to show who I am and to make my mark on the world. I don’t know how I have the confidence to do that, but I somehow do. I’m just trying to do things my way. I want to make my own name. I enjoy everything I do and I’m so thankful for the work and opportunities I get.”

3. She Dances

Keating was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. She opened up about her experience on the show to Gossie. “It was amazing, I had the best time! It was one of the most exciting, enjoyable things I’ve ever done. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I love dancing, I’ve loved it since I was a kid, and I got to learn styles that I never even knew existed. It was so cool, interesting and fun. I also loved the glitz and the glam!”

4. She Works Hard

Keating tells VIP Magazine that she works hard, and that this helped her on Dancing with the Stars. “I’m a very competitive person, just with myself. I get really annoyed in rehearsals if I can’t get it right. And I will just work and work and work until I can get it perfect. I want to listen and take it in and do that and be the best version of myself I can be. It’s going to be fun and I know it’ll be a great way to start the year.”

5. "Time to Tackle the Taboo"

Keating makes sure to support causes that are important to her. She recently took part in Pretty Little Thing’s collaboration with Girl vs Cancer. She modeled a piece from the collection in this Instagram post. Keating captioned the post, “Time to tackle the taboo. Despite thousands of women going through surgical treatment for breast cancer each year, women are still left with unflattering options when it comes to post surgery underwear.”

Paulina Porizkova is one of the most successful models of all time. She’s still showing off her body on social media at age 57. In a recent Instagram post, Porizkova posed in a leopard print bikini.

1. She Calls Out Double Standards

Porizkova is known for being very outspoken on Instagram. She talked about double standards in society in this post. She wrote, “Athletes versus models. Both start their careers very young. Both make large amounts of money based on their physicality - in direct proportion to the demand - for their service. Both need to keep themselves in prime physical shape. Both jobs are physically and sometimes emotionally painful. Both careers end when most others just come into their best. Both are a celebration (or objectification) of the human body. Both demand sacrifices in personal lives. Both are used for your entertainment and to sell you products. One highlights mostly men, the other mostly women. And as they start aging out of their careers, if they refuse to give up quite yet - one gets applauded and is seen as heroic, and the other shamed as pathetic.”

2. She Goes To The Beach

Porizkova loves to spend time outside. One place she loves to go is the beach. She posted this photo of herself in Costa Rica on Instagram. She captioned it, “It’s been a wonderful week in Costa Rica, filled with sun, jungle, ocean, pool, long dinners, lots of books read, and of course, the antics of George the monkey.”

3. She Calls Out Haters

Porizkova is not afraid to call out social media haters. She did so in this Instagram post.“A woman of 57 is ‘too old’ to pose in a bikini - no matter what she looks like. Because ‘Old’ is ‘Ugly.’ I get comments like these every time I post a photo of my body. This is the ageist shaming that sets my teeth on edge. Older men are distinguished, older women are ugly. People who believe prettiness equals beauty do not understand beauty.”

4. She Embraces Age

In the same Instagram post, Porizkova says that she is embracing her age. “To perceive beauty you have to be able to SEE. This is why I believe we get more beautiful with age. We have earned our beauty, we understand what it is, and we can see it so much better. There is no such thing as ugly and old. Only shortsighted and ignorant.”

5. She Intermittent Fasts

Porizkova says that she likes to intermittently fast as a way to stay in shape. She explained her process on Instagram. “You don’t eat for 16 hours and then you eat for eight,” Porizkova said. “I generally take it as I eat whatever I want for eight hours because I like food, but I also kind of tend to like more healthy food.”
