1. She Walks Her Dogs
Eun-Saem loves to get outside and take long walks with her pups. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season,” says Harvard Health. “A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”
2. Burgers and Fries
Eun-Saem loves the occasional burger and fries as a treat. "It’s helpful to deconstruct your burger to build a healthy and satisfying meal," says Kelly Hogan, MS, RD. "Think about your protein source, where and how you’re going to get vegetables into the meal, and how you can add an additional fiber or complex carbohydrate source. A little fat, from a thin slice of cheese or avocado, can also enhance flavor and give your burger more satiating staying power."
3. Pilates Sessions
Eun-Saem does Pilates classes at a studio. “Spiritually and mentally, we are reconnecting with our bodies through breath and movement, creating new neural pathways that strengthen our muscles,” says celebrity trainer Laura Wilson. “Many elite athletes and dancers use Pilates to help them in their professional pursuits. But it is also suitable and beneficial for your son’s posture or your grandmother’s frozen shoulder."
4. Martial Arts
Eun-Saem learned martial arts as part of her work as an actress. “I always liked to move my body around, which led me to learn some martial arts, including jiu jitsu,” she says. “Though I used weapons and tools to stand against the zombies, I want to fight my enemies with fists and kicks in a future action film or drama series.”
5. She Loves To Read
Eun-Saem is an avid reader. “A good story tends to stick with you, too—and so do the benefits: The health impacts of reading last long after we put down the book, with some research showing reductions in depression symptoms persisting months or even years later in adults,” says Richard Sima, PhD. “And reading can not only help make life more worth living but is associated with living longer: One study found that older adults who regularly read books had a 20 percent reduction in mortality compared to those who did not read.”
