Coffee Beverages
Coffee is Guardiola's beverage of choice, and luckily it just happens to offer significant health benefits. "The overall evidence has been pretty convincing that coffee has been more healthful than harmful in terms of health outcomes," says Frank Hu, PhD, chair of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. "For most people, moderate coffee consumption can be incorporated into a healthy diet."
Citizen Of the World
Guardiola enjoys the benefits of being well-traveled. One 2018 study shows the benefits of travel continue long after the trip itself. "This research shows there are many health and wellness benefits during all stages of travel across generations, and seeing those benefits significantly improves their satisfaction with the trip," says Alison Bryant, AARP Research Senior Vice President. "Any type of travel, whether it's a weekend getaway or a weeklong trip, can be an effective way to renew and recharge and the benefits far outweigh the short-lived drawbacks."
Always Outdoors
Guardiola is definitely an outdoorsy person, which offers both mental and physical health benefits. "The outdoors offers many opportunities to be physically active," says the CDC. "Time outdoors may also promote mental health and stress reduction."
Swimming
Guardiola posts several pictures of herself by or in swimming pools. Even if you're not an avid swimmer, simply being in water is good for you, experts say. "People report enjoying water-based exercise more than exercising on land," says the CDC. "They can also exercise longer in water than on land without increased effort or joint or muscle pain."
Wine Lover
Guardiola enjoys wine, which experts say should be enjoyed in moderation. "Too much alcohol can have many harmful effects on the body," says the Mayo Clinic. "But if you already enjoy a glass of red wine with your evening meal, drinking it in moderation may improve your heart health."
