1. She Likes to Cook Her Own Meals

Pia tries to cook her own food when she has time. “I have a busy schedule and am constantly traveling so when I do have the time to grocery shop or prepare a meal, I make it a priority,” she told People “However, I love sushi so I find myself eating out often for that!”

2. She Consumes a Lot of Protein

Pia packs “lots of protein” into her meals. “I like to enjoy foods that keep my energy levels stable,” Wurtzbach told People. “Otherwise I’d likely crash at some point during the day.” “Muscles love protein, especially complete proteins like whey,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Whey protein contains branched-chain amino acids, a specific type of amino acid that helps with muscle building,” registered dietitian Maxine Smith, RD, LD tells the Clinic.

3. She Hydrates

Pia prioritizes hydration. She told People that she drinks at least 8 glasses of water per day. “You've probably heard the advice to drink eight glasses of water a day. That's easy to remember, and it's a reasonable goal,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Most healthy people can stay hydrated by drinking water and other fluids whenever they feel thirsty. For some people, fewer than eight glasses a day might be enough. But other people might need more.”

4. This Is What She Eats in a Day

Pia revealed her 1,758 calorie per day diet to People. For breakfast, Pia starts with a cup of coffee with a splash of cream. She then has 1½ cups of Greek yogurt with 3 diced strawberries, a handful of blueberries, a tbsp. of honey and mangoes. For lunch, she will eat a grilled-chicken Caesar salad – “light on the croutons” – with diced cherry tomatoes, 2 tbsp. of dressing and ⅓ cup of low-fat Parmesan cheese. In the afternoon she will snack on two handfuls of roasted almonds (no salt) and dried mango with a side of cottage cheese. Her dinner is usually oven-roasted salmon (with ½ tbsp. of olive oil to coat fillet), 1 cup of spinach topped with feta, 1 cup of steamed broccoli with fresh lemon juice, olive oil and garlic, and 2 red bliss potatoes, sliced, with olive oil and fresh rosemary. Finally, dessert, 2 small scoops of low-fat chocolate caramel ice cream.

5. These Are Her Three Exercise Moves

According to Pia’s personal trainer, Mark Banta of Anytime Fitness, his beauty queen client “swears” by three moves. "The plank is one of the best exercises for a flat, toned stomach because it works all the muscles in your core, including the rectus abdominus or the 'six-pack muscles' you can see. We made sure to do this because we're really preparing for the swimsuit competition,” he told Candy. Also, for her arms, a tricep pulldown and squats and lunges for her legs.

6. She Consumes Carbs Pre-Workout

Banta also makes sure Pia consumes carbs before her workouts and proteins after. "When it comes to gearing up before your workout, carbs should be number one on your list. Always take them an hour before you start exercising," he told Candy. "After workout, we always consume a post workout drink (protein shake), boiled eggs, and chicken breast. Carbs are meant to be your energy source and protein is for faster muscle recovery and repair."

Nabilla told Gulf News that doing makeup is “like therapy” for her,”a way to gain self-confidence, to express who I am,” she said. “Beauty is a bit like the school of life; we experiment, we learn, we make mistakes, we start over, we create a personality, then we assert ourselves, and finally find ourselves. I want to give everyone the chance to try it and have the freedom to just be themselves!”

2. She Skis

Nabilla loves to ski and goes on regular vacations to the mountains with her family. Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.

3. She Hydrates

Nabilla understands the importance of hydration. Here she is drinking out of a coconut on the beaches of Brazil. According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.

4. She Paddle Boards

Nabilla, who spends a lot of time at the beach, loves paddleboarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio. The water sport can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140 pound male and 436 for a female the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

5. She Takes Baths

Nabilla loves soaking in hot water, in a hot tub or bath. Here she is taking a bath with her baby. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

Pia Wurtzbach, the Filipino model and Miss Universe 2015, knows how to strike a pose. It’s part of the job after all.

1. She Works Out

“Starting the day with a good workout. Who would have thought that they would say I have high cholesterol,” Pia wrote recently. “With high cholesterol, you can develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels. Eventually, these deposits grow, making it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries. Sometimes, those deposits can break suddenly and form a clot that causes a heart attack or stroke,” says the Mayo Clinic. “The same heart-healthy lifestyle changes that can lower your cholesterol can help prevent you from having high cholesterol in the first place.” For example, “Eat a low-salt diet that emphasizes fruits, vegetables and whole grains.”

2. Consistency is Key, She Says

“I learned that consistency is key,” Pia said about fitness. “Instead of beating yourself up for ‘failing,’ show yourself some compassion. Revisit your goal. Think about those kids or that amazing vacation you want to take. Review your meal plans and take note of where and why you stumbled. Stay positive and get back on track. You've got this,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Has Had Anxiety

"I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and major depression. All of the pain and suffering I endured all my life caught up to me and manifested itself in a fully self-destructive way," she said in her TED Talk. "You'd think that the crown and the title would be the bandage to all of that. You'd think that it would be enough to make sense of all the pain and the rejection, but it didn't," she added. "I want to paint a picture, not of a perfect beauty queen, but of a real person with real life experiences. There's no shame in admitting that you aren't perfect and that you need help," she said.

4. She Eats Protein

“I like to enjoy foods that keep my energy levels stable,” says Pia to People. “Otherwise I’d likely crash at some point during the day.” For example, she’ll have a Greek yogurt for breakfast, a grilled-chicken Caesar salad for lunch and oven-roasted salmon for dinner.

5. She Works Her Core

Pia works her core by doing flutter kicks, static lunges, TRX rows and other targeted exercises that keep her strong. “The muscles of the torso are important for supporting and moving the spine, as well as stabilizing the pelvis, which influences posture and gait. Integrating static-hold exercises along with dynamic movements in your core workout is an effective way to challenge these important muscles and prepare them for life’s daily demands,” says ACE Fitness.

“Sometimes a little bit of sunshine is the best medicine. A walk in the park or a bike ride probably puts you in a good mood, and a moderate amount of sun is also good for your physical health. While you’re outside soaking up rays, your body is busy making vitamin D. That’s good news, because this hormone that’s boosted by exposure to sunlight plays an important role in women’s health,” says Johns Hopkins.

5. She Loves the Beach

“Beaches provide many recreational opportunities for millions of people. Boating, fishing, swimming, walking, beachcombing, bird-watching, playing and sunbathing are among the common activities beachgoers enjoy. Beaches provide protection to residents living near the ocean by acting as a buffer against the high winds and waves of powerful storms or rough seas,” says the EPA.
