1. She Loves To Swim

Siciliani enjoys swimming, which is a great way to get exercise while having fun and going easy on your joints. “Swimming is one of the few activities that works your whole body,” says the British Heart Foundation. “Breaststroke, backstroke, front crawl, butterfly and even doggy paddle get your legs and arms moving. This in turn works your back and core muscles.”

2. Bath Time

Siciliani loves relaxing in a bath or hot tub. “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.”

3. Gentle Bike Rides

Siciliani rides her bike outside in the fresh air and sunshine. “Adopting physical activities like biking or running, getting regular exercise and eating lots of leafy greens, lean proteins and whole grains will help you maintain a healthy weight, lowering your cancer risk,” according to experts at Nebraska Methodist Health System.

4. Yerba Mate

Siciliani enjoys traditional South American caffeine-packed yerba mate drinks. “Up to 400 milligrams (mg) of caffeine a day appears to be safe for most healthy adults,” says the Mayo Clinic. “That's roughly the amount of caffeine in four cups of brewed coffee, 10 cans of cola or two ‘energy shot’ drinks.”

5. Bonding With Pets

Siciliani loves animals, especially her little dog. Having a pet offers many health benefits, experts say. “Studies have shown that the bond between people and their pets is linked to several health benefits, including increased opportunities for exercise and outdoor activities; better cognitive function in older adults; and more opportunities to socialize,” says the CDC.

"Spirulina is known primarily for its high protein content," Sydney Greene, MS, RD, tells our sister site Eat This, Not That!, which adds: “However, in order to consume 15-20 grams of protein per meal, you would have to supplement it with other high protein foods. For example, one tablespoon of powdered spirulina yields 6 grams of protein, which is a lot, considering it's only 45 calories. Add spirulina to smoothies with a serving of plain Greek yogurt in it to increase that protein intake.”

Collagen peptides may or may not help your skin. Adding protein to your diet is essential. “From a general health perspective, it is important to ensure adequate protein within your diet. As you age, your protein needs increase slightly to maintain lean body mass.

Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections,” says the CDC.
