When I was a kid, I didn't like salads, but as I've gotten older, I try to have something green with every meal.” Veggies, like salad greens, have a lot of benefits. Elisabeth Moore, a registered dietitian at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, tells Harvard Health, “Most salad greens contain essential dietary nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and even water. "They also provide fiber, which is beneficial in many areas, including cardiovascular and gastrointestinal health. Greens are also low in calories, but high in nutrients and volume, which can be helpful if you're trying to manage your weight.”

She shared her on the road workout tips with Ebony Magazine. “Working out is my job, so it's not always as fun as just going to the gym and following that with the sauna. I would love that. But, on the road, anything to keep my body moving is good—running on the treadmill or going for a light 30-minute run. I even find things I can do in my hotel room like ab routines, lunges and squats. Things you really don't have to put a lot of thought into but get the blood flowing."

4. She Wears Sunscreen

Being a professional tennis player, Stephens spends a lot of time outside. She tells Ebony Magazine that she always makes sure to wear sunscreen for this reason. “I definitely wear sunscreen all the time. I'm just mortified about getting sunburn or even wind burn.

Stephens starts her workouts first thing in the morning. She detailed her workout routine in an interview with Shape. “Five days a week, I do a two-hour workout before tennis practice. I start with an hour of movement–ladder, agility, plyometrics–and then do an hour of strength training. Afterward, I play tennis for two hours. From the time I get up, I'm working out and sweating profusely. And I smell!”

Sunlight exposure triggers the skin to produce Vitamin D, reducing the risk of Vitamin D deficiency. It also helps regulate our circadian rhythms, improving sleep quality and mood. Moderate sunlight exposure has been linked to a reduction in certain mood disorders. Additionally, sunlight can improve skin conditions like psoriasis. However, it's important to balance sun exposure with skin cancer risk, using sunscreen and avoiding excessive exposure, particularly during peak sunlight hours.

It also improves cardiovascular health, increasing heart rate without stressing the body. Additionally, swimming is an excellent way to burn calories, aiding in weight management. The buoyancy of water offers a relaxing and therapeutic effect, reducing stress and improving mental health.

So here goes nothing…Growing up, it was just me and mom until my step dad adopted me at a young age. I am a melting pot of Japanese white and black and everyone in my family is all blonde hair and blue eyed so I always felt different. My idea of beauty was not me. It was what was in my immediate vicinity. I never truly felt beautiful. I remember seeing women in Sports Illustrated as I got older and they were all so beautiful and unique in their own ways. Being beautiful and sexy can be any color and any size. And it’s not just an outward appearance these women represent strength, acceptance, and even more so changed the way I viewed beauty. I relate to the women in this magazine in a BIG way and they will never know the acceptance I felt by just knowing there’s others out there just like me!”
