Rosalía loves to take flamenco dance classes, which are a great way to get some cardio in while having fun. “The evidence for the health benefits of exercise is indisputable,” says Harvard Health. “Physiologic studies have demonstrated that regular activity builds muscle and bone, reduces fat, increases aerobic capacity, lowers blood pressure, and improves the ratio of ‘good’ to ‘bad’ cholesterol. Dance has been shown to have all the benefits of other forms of exercise.”
2. She Works Out For Her Mental Health

Rosalía works out every day, no matter how busy she is. “Okay, I wake up every morning; I train, because for my mental health it really helps me to work out; I have breakfast; and then it would be 16 hours a day, for months and months and months,” she tells Pitchfork. “It’s been a tough process, I’m not going to lie to you. It’s been a lot of moments of cracking up in the studio and pasando el tiempo [passing the time] while some plug-ins were downloading, having fun but at the same time a lot of work, work, work, work.”
3. She Is Inspired By Travel

Rosalía is passionate about travel, and incorporates her new experiences into her music. “When they ask me where I’m from, yeah I’m from Barcelona, I’m from Sant Esteve Sesrovires, and I feel so proud of it, I would never want anyone to think differently from that,” she says. “But at the same time, traveling affects me, affects my sound, and I have so much love for so many styles. I just work to challenge myself as a musician to express myself in different ways always.”

Rosalía enjoys drinking milk, and says it makes her instantly happy. “Dairy isn’t necessary in the diet for optimal health, but for many people, it is the easiest way to get the calcium, vitamin D, and protein they need to keep their heart, muscles, and bones healthy and functioning properly,” says Vasanti Malik, ScD, nutrition research scientist with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
5. She Eats Strawberries
Rosalía loves fresh fruit, especially strawberries. “Strawberries are rich in colorful pigments which have a protective effect – these anthocyanidins are thought to have a number of potential health benefits, including prevention of inflammatory conditions and heart disease,” says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “Observational studies appear to link regular berry consumption with fewer heart-related deaths.”
