Reese is all about getting in her Vitamin D. "Get 10 mins of outdoor light," she states, mentioning that Andrew Huberman, PhD "recommends morning light." Unlike many other vitamins, D is not regularly found in food. The National Institutes of Health explain that it is "produced endogenously when ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis."

She Reads

Reese prioritizes getting enough sleep. "In bed by 10pm. *no late night TV binges," she says about her final top health habit. "Try to get  8 hours of rest!" According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a third of US adults report that they get less than the recommended amount of sleep, which is defined as seven hours for adults per the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. "Not getting enough sleep is linked with many chronic diseases and conditions—such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and depression," adds the CDC.
