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.

San Jose State swimmer Andreea Dragoi is enjoying the gorgeous sun and sea at Laguna Beach, California. The Romanian model posted a photo of herself wearing a white bathing suit and she posed in the surf, captioning the shot, “Vitamin sea 🥥.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Dragoi 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. She Uses Weights

Dragoi uses heavy weights for her resistance training exercises. “In strength training, you add resistance to a particular movement to overload your muscles, which makes them work harder and become stronger,” says strength and athletic trainer Tom Iannetta, ATC, CSCS. “As we age, we lose muscle mass, which decreases metabolism, so establishing a strength program will not only increase muscles, it will boost metabolism.”

2. She’s a Swimmer

Dragoi is—of course—an accomplished competitive swimmer. “Individuals of various ages, body weights, and health conditions can experience health benefits from swimming,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Because performing exercise in water can decrease the impact of body weight on your joints, swimming can be an ideal form of exercise for achieving many goals, ranging from heart health, weight loss, pain management and arthritis management.”

3. Balanced Diet

Dragoi enjoys indulging in delicious food when she travels, especially local bread. Bread such as sourdough offers many health benefits, experts say. "The fermentation process and higher fiber content makes sourdough a useful option for those with blood sugar management issues," says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. "This is because, unlike many commercially produced breads, sourdough has less of an impact on blood sugar levels."

4. Fresh Fruit

Dragoi loves fresh fruit, especially raspberries. “Raspberries are also full of antioxidants and nutrients called polyphenols that decrease oxidative damage,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Like their ‘blue’ berry cousin, they’re high in fiber to aid in digestion, blood glucose control and weight loss.”

5. She Practices Gratitude

Dragoi is determined to change people’s perceptions of what it means to be an athlete but also a model. “I am grateful for all the people I have in my life that make me happy and support me,” she says. “And I am thankful that I now can have a say and influence the stereotypes and stigmas in the pageant and modeling world. This accomplishment means a better version of myself as I learn many new things from every pageant, every girl, every different culture, and lastly a new experience”

1. Disciplined About Diet

Marquez is sensible in her approach to diet and wellness. “I eat well and work out and I sometimes eat whatever and indulge in whatever,” she says. “I’m not the type who will starve herself to death to maintain her body. I have discipline and if you have that, you know how you can control yourself from not eating fast food or unhealthy food, and not be a couch potato.”

2. Personal Trainer

Marquez works out with a personal trainer at the gym, which is a great way to stay accountable and make progress. “Personal trainers are experts at understanding where their clients are at and what's appropriate for them,” says the Southern California Health Institute. “For example, if you're new to exercise, your personal trainer won't give you the same regimen that someone with years of experience would do.”

3. She’s a Foodie

Marquez genuinely loves food, especially traditional Filipino dishes. “I love bacon and eggs!” she says. “Well, who doesn't? I eat anything but I always have an appetite for anything home cooked. Give me sinigang [sour soup with pork], stew, tinola [chicken soup dish] or bopis [spicy pork or beef lungs] any time of the day and I'll eat it in a minute.”

4. Her Beauty Secrets

Marquez’s beauty and health mantra is all about moving. “I regularly go to a dermatologist and get a facial every month,” she says. “I think it helps that they extract the dirt on my face that my cleanser can’t reach. Another is, I have an active lifestyle; sweating helps and the results are very satisfying. Move and don’t be lazy. Dance, go to the gym, and maybe have a sauna session. Being active helps skin, body and mind a lot.”

5. She Has PCOS

Marquez has polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). "I have regular check-ups,” she says. "I had a hard time adjusting to my body changing since I gained a few pounds, [I felt] bloated which is uncomfortable sometimes, mood swings, it really depends. You just have to find the right balance...It's hard to adjust but with the help of people, eventually, you can fight it."
