According to the Mayo Clinic, “Yoga may help reduce stress, lower blood pressure and lower your heart rate. Yoga brings together physical and mental disciplines that may help you achieve peacefulness of body and mind. This can help you relax and manage stress and anxiety.”

De Lima loves to go outside and spend time in the sun, and she makes sure to take a ton of photos when she does. She has posted several stunning photos of herself enjoying time outside and in the sunshine. The main benefit of spending time in the sun is getting more Vitamin D. According to the CDC, “The skin can produce only a limited amount of vitamin D at one time. Once the body has reached this limit, spending more time in the sun will not continue to increase vitamin D levels.”
