1. She Has Fun With Her Workouts
Paris plays on the reputation she has of being a little materialistic to say the least. She’s got a closet full of designer goods and even her workouts, at times, reflect that. When the gym shut down for quarantine, Paris posted videos of her working out by riding a bike around the inside of her house or lifting purses filled with weights. Granted, this obviously isn’t a normal work out, but having a sense of humor can be good for your health. "A good laugh has great short-term effects. When you start to laugh, it doesn't just lighten your load mentally, it actually induces physical changes in your body. Laughter can:
- Stimulate many organs. Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins that are released by your brain.
- Activate and relieve your stress response. A rollicking laugh fires up and then cools down your stress response, and it can increase and then decrease your heart rate and blood pressure. The result? A good, relaxed feeling.
- Soothe tension. Laughter can also stimulate circulation and aid muscle relaxation, both of which can help reduce some of the physical symptoms of stress," says the Mayo Clinic.
2. She Changed Her Fast Food Ways

Shockingly, she loved fast food. “I used to eat that way, but I decided to change things this year,' she said. 'Now I don't do that. There are times when I will stop at a Carl's Jr, but I will maybe get a turkey burger or something healthier instead of a cheeseburger and fries. I am more careful now.”
3. She Does Resistance Workouts

Paris does resistant workouts through various exercises like lunges, seated curls, buck kickbacks, and more to work her upper and lower muscles. She also prioritizes aerobic activity that could include anything from jogging, and dancing to climbing and swimming. "Before you even hit the pavement or track, boost your confidence with the right running shoes," says the Cleveland Clinic. "Your foot should fit snug in the heel, with a little wiggle room around your toes, says exercise physiologist Christopher Travers, MS. To guarantee the best fit, get a proper fitting at a specialty running store and wear your usual running socks when you go."
4. She Loves Green Smoothies

Green veggie packed smoothies? That’s hot. ”I like green smoothies, they taste good and they make me feel more energetic,” she said. "I also like regular juices. I get a lot more vitamins these days, more fruits too, more vegetables, more protein, more salads."
5. She Focuses On Plenty of Protein

Paris Hilton gets her tall, lean body from focusing on getting enough protein and balancing it out with healthy fats and fresh produce. She generally avoids high carb, high sugar foods like cakes, treats, chocolate, and bread. "If you want to follow a high-protein diet, choose your protein wisely. Good choices include soy protein, beans, nuts, fish, skinless poultry, lean beef, pork and low-fat dairy products. Avoid processed meats," says the Mayo Clinic. "The quality of the carbohydrates (carbs) you eat is important too. Cut processed carbs from your diet, and choose carbs that are high in fiber and nutrient-dense, such as whole grains and vegetables and fruit."
