1. She Makes Time For Herself

Mendoza revealed some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Pep.ph. Mendoza has a really busy schedule, which can be stressful. To deal with this, she says that she makes time for herself to relax on her slower days. "Sometimes I only have Eat Bulaga so I get home early and just spend the rest of the day in bed,” Mendoza says.

2. She Takes Vitamins

It can be difficult to get enough daily vitamins and nutrients each day, especially if you have a busy schedule. However, Mendoza tells Pep.ph that she makes sure to take vitamins each day, which helps her stay healthy. "Being in remote areas every day-exposed to sun, rain, heat, dirt, and lots of people, [among others]-I need to be sure that my immune system would always function properly. I take vitamins every day to get the daily nutrients I need."

3. She Stays Hydrated

Mendoza makes sure to drink enough water each day. She tells Pep.ph that staying hydrated is important to her and is a big part of her wellness routine. Mendoza says, “I drink water as much as I can. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!"

4. She Washes Her Hands

With the COVID-19 pandemic raging on, protecting yourself against the virus is extremely important. Mendoza tells Pep.ph, that in addition to getting the vaccine, she makes sure to wash her hands as often as possible, and do other things to keep herself healthy. "I also practice the 'DIY vaccine'-which is washing my hands with antibacterial soap all the time, and avoiding close contact with such people."

5. She Spends Time By The Water

Mendoza loves to go to the beach and spend time by the water. She posts several photos of herself by the beach on Instagram. She posted this photo of herself floating in the ocean. Mendoza captioned it, “Her thoughts were strewing on the surface. As she was floating on water she was calm, as well as the ocean, and the ocean was deep, as well as her thoughts.”

Maya Nazor says she wanted to be famous ever since she was a little girl, and it shows with her confidence in front of the camera.

1. She Loves to Dance

One look at Nazor’s social media confirms her love of dance. “When you begin moving, you immediately release the brain chemicals dopamine, adrenaline, and endorphins, causing a powerful and lasting effect I call ‘energized optimism,’” says Kelly McGonigal, PhD, author of The Joy of Movement. “The adrenaline makes you feel powerful, the dopamine generates hope, and the endorphins bring you joy. You’ve created this amazing cocktail that boosts your mood and energy, leads you to experience better social interactions, makes you more likely to progress on your goals, and lowers stress. So dancing doesn’t just make you feel great in the moment. It sets you up to be a better version of yourself.”

2. She Travels Around the World

Nazor is passionate about visiting new places. “Foreign experiences increase both cognitive flexibility and depth and integrativeness of thought, the ability to make deep connections between disparate forms,” says Adam Galinsky, a professor at Columbia Business School. “The key, critical process is multicultural engagement, immersion, and adaptation. Someone who lives abroad and doesn’t engage with the local culture will likely get less of a creative boost than someone who travels abroad and really engages in the local environment.”

3. Self-Confidence

Nazor says she was born to be in front of the camera, and feels confident about being an influencer. “The truth is, I’ve always enjoyed speaking a lot in front of the camera and I can speak easily. As a kid, I pretended I had a TV channel and my own program. It’s a way of expressing myself,” she says.

4. Post Baby Body

Nazor welcomed son Luka last summer, and embraced her post-baby body. "Remind yourself of the miracle you just performed," says Chaye McIntosh, clinical director at ChoicePoint Health in Fairlawn, New Jersey. "Remind yourself that the baby you are now holding in your arms is worth the stretch marks and belly pouch. Remind yourself that you are beautiful just the way you are. And remember that your baby needs a strong, self-assured, and dedicated parent—not just one with a flat tummy."

5. She Loves the Pool

Nazor enjoys being in the water, both in the swimming pool and in the ocean. “Research has shown that being near, in, on or under water can provide a long list of benefits for our mind and body, including lowering stress and anxiety, increasing an overall sense of well-being and happiness, a lower heart and breathing rate, and safe, better workouts,” says marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols.

Godoy is all about positivity. She talked about it in the caption of this Instagram post. “WELCOME SPRING. May this change of season bring us pure beautiful things!! Positive mind put wendy no more!

"Try savoring pleasure: placing your attention on pleasure as it occurs and consciously enjoying the experience as it unfolds."

Indian actress Kate Sharma is enjoying a magical trip to the island of Koh Samui, Thailand. Sharma shared a reel of herself swimming in a beautiful pool, wearing a bright pink swimsuit and sarong, with palms and blue skies in the background. “Poolside paradise 😍,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sharma 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. Fresh Lime Soda

Sharma’s go-to drink is fresh lime soda. “Limes are packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients," says Carly Sedlacek RDN, LD. “Limes are low in calories, high in micronutrients and punch above their weight with regard to both water and fiber content. They’re really good for us, but most of us aren’t going to make a snack of them. The juice — without added sugar — is the best we can do.”

2. Running Outside

Sharma loves running outside, especially at the beach. “There’s good evidence that spending time outside can reduce stress, depression levels, and anxiety,” says Josh Lawler, a UW environmental & forest sciences professor. “We suspect that one of the routes for the physical benefits is through [the] decreased stress and anxiety.”

3. She Chooses Happiness

Sharma says she chooses happiness in her personal life. “I don't date much but I have had rough patches in relationships. Ups and down are part of life and moving on is an art of life,” she says. “Break ups were there but that all made me so strong and I am a girl who looks at the broader aspect in life. So pain was there but feeling the pain and being sad is a choice.

So I chose happiness. It took time to heal but today I learned happiness is the most important thing in this world.”

4. Bathing Beauty

Sharma loves to take baths. “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.”

5. She Is an Artist

When it comes to her career, Sharma loves the benefits creativity brings to her life. “Artist is an artist, no matter where he/she performs," she says. "It’s always a pack of feelings and entertainment which we have to give to the audience. Films and music videos both tell a story. The only difference is that films are on a larger scale in every form, while music videos take less time but require the same level of consistency and hard work as an artist."
