Soleil Sorge in Bathing Suit Enjoys "Sol y Mar"

Italian TV personality Soleil Sorge is the ultimate bicultural influencer, the child of an Italian father and American mother who spent her childhood moving between Los Angeles and Rome, where she ultimately settled. Maybe because of this, she’s the ultimate sun worshipper (her name means “sun” in French), as in this Instagram pic of herself in a bathing suit on a boat with the caption, “Sol y mar 🌞 buon Ferragosto! Xoxo” (Sun and sea 🌞 happy mid-August! xoxo). Sorge gained fame as a villainous contestant in the Italian TV reality competition show Grande Fratello VIP 6 (Big Brother VIP 6). She also has a line of beachwear called State of Soleil. Read on to see how Soleil Sorge stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does Yoga

Viewers of Grande Fratello saw Sorge practice yoga, about which she is passionate. “Yoga is the essence,” she posted in Italian on Instagram. “It’s a discipline through which practice the mind, body and spirit are stimulated. It is a lifestyle, a flow through which, just like in life each of us finds his own style, his course and above all his inner peace.”

2. She Eats Healthy

Like all Italians, Sorge eats a Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes healthy fats, fish, drinking water daily, more fruit and vegetables and less dairy. A Mediterranean diet is effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and overall mortality, according to Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

3. She’s Not Afraid of Pasta

Living in Italy, Sorge is not above indulging in pasta, as seen in this Instagram pic, captioned “pastafarian feels.” Eating too much pasta can contribute to weight gain. But one research study found that moderate amounts of pasta in the context of a low-glycemic diet does not lead to weight gain and can even help lower weight and body mass index compared with high-glycemic diets.

4. She Has Dogs

Sorge has two dogs, Simbah and Lyla, whom she adores. Owning a dog makes a person more physically active, reduces feelings of isolation and loneliness, calms the nerves and lowers blood pressure and heart rate, according to Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

4. She Purges Negative Thoughts

Sorge keeps her mind positive and gets rid of intrusive negative thoughts. Positive thinking and optimism can increase life span; lower stress, depression, distress and pain; create resistance to illness; improve cardio vascular health and reduce the risk of death from a variety of ailments, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Victoria Silvstedt is soaking up the sunshine at the Côte d'Azur, on the beautiful French Riviera (where else would a Swedish supermodel vacation?). Silvstedt, 48, shared pictures of herself posing in a powder-blue ruffled bikini, against a gorgeous background of blue skies, pool, and ocean. “Summer Vibes 🦋, she captioned the shot. “Perfect in this swimsuit! Enjoy summer vibes,” a fan commented. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Silvstedt stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. Pilates and Power Walks

Silvstedt has a set routine when she’s at home, but stays active wherever she is. “I only keep my training routine when I'm in Monaco,” she says. “When I'm in New York I walk a lot and in Cannes I run around in high heels, so that becomes my exercise. When I'm at home in Monaco, I do Pilates two to three times a week, both mat Pilates and with Reformer. I supplement it with power walks and hikes by the sea or in the mountains around Monaco.”

2. She Enjoys the Good Things

Silvstedt eats whatever she wants, but—of course—in moderation. “I'm in the best shape of my life,” she says. “But I like the good things in life. Every day I eat a huge breakfast, then pasta for lunch, but I stay away from carbs in the evening. And then I drink a glass of red wine almost every night. And I have to have my daily dose of chocolate! I like to drink champagne and have a glass of wine. And I love Tequila shots, the Patrón brand is my favorite.”

3. Yoga and Skiing

Silvstedt says living in the warm climate of Monaco encourages her to stay in shape year-round. “I feel best by being active,” she says. “It ranges from Pilates, gym, yoga, to walking or skiing,” she says. “Then it's the case that I'm in warm climates most of the year and wear a bikini, then you can't eat too much because the stomach gets so swollen. I think it's easier to keep the weight off if you have to wear a bikini often. If I were to live in Sweden in the winter, I would eat all the time and probably put on a lot of weight. When I'm at home, we have coffee and cozy up all the time!”

4. Not Competing With 20-Year-Olds

Silvstedt is content with her incredible career so far. “I'm completely satisfied with what I've already managed to achieve career-wise and I'm happy with who I am,” she says. “It's not like I'm trying to be 20 and compete with the young hot girls, not at all. Should I not get any more assignments - so what? I can retire tomorrow, no problem. That I care about my appearance is not a requirement from the industry or anyone else, I have always liked to keep myself fresh.”

5. Summer Wellness

Silvstedt loves swimming and other summer activities, but makes sure not to let her hair or skin be damaged by pool chemicals or too much sun exposure. “I avoid dipping my hair in pool water,” she says. “I wear a hat when I sunbathe, or I lie under a parasol. - I protect my face as much as possible. SPF 30, then makeup concealer with SPF 30 and a light bronzing powder that protects. Of course I will come to Sweden this summer!”

Spanish star Carmen Lomana is proof-positive there is no age limit when it comes to looking fabulous in a bathing suit. The 74-year-old has been enjoying the sun and sea in St. Tropez, and posted a picture of herself wearing a black and white swimsuit, sitting by a turquoise pool. “Despedida de unos días estupendos (Saying goodbye to a great few days) #StTropez,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways Lomana stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Swears by Nivea Cream

No fancy face creams required for Lomana—she swears by humble Nivea to keep her skin supple. “What a wonder! Every time I open the can of @nivea_es its scent brings me to memory scenes from my childhood,” she says. “A ‘must’ in the house and, also in the bag, to guarantee a hydrated skin at all times. Great for nourishing hands, elbows, knees, lips, prevent stretch marks.. this cream works for everything and I always carry it with me.”

2. She Loves to Paddleboard

Lomana is happiest by the sand and sea, and paddleboards whenever she can. Not only is paddleboarding a great full-body workout, it encourages feel-good hormones, “which are great for your mood, self-esteem, mental health and wellbeing,” says physiotherapist Shira Kramer, founder of BeActive Physio in Melbourne.

3. She Enjoys Tea

Lomana enjoys tea as part of her healthy diet, preferring to drink it without milk or cream. “Different teas offer different benefits,” says Beth Czerwony, RD. “Choose what fits your need… Green tea is the champ when it comes to offering health benefits,” says Czerwony. “It’s the Swiss Army knife of teas. It covers a lot of territory. There are so many teas out there. Try different varieties and see what works best for you.”

4. She Loves To Swim

Lomana loves to swim, especially in the ocean. Studies show that being near the ocean is tremendously good for both physical and mental health. "Blue space therapy is a woefully underused method of lifestyle prescription for our physical and mental health. Still, the research proves that taking a dip can boost our wellbeing ten-fold," says Dr. Ruth Micallef. "Wild swimming has a host of research-proven benefits, including improved self-esteem, social confidence, and resilience—to name just a few."

5. She Walks and Hikes

Lomana loves to walk as part of her daily lifestyle, and also for exercise. “The nice thing about hiking is that it exists along an entire continuum, from a gentle walk on a flat wooded path to mountain climbing,” says Dr. Aaron L. Baggish, associate director of the Cardiovascular Performance Program at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. “There’s a real sense of peace and composure you get from being outside and away from everything.”

As a reality TV contestant, Carolina Santos knows how to get attention, and her social media is proof of that. The Married At First Sight star posted a photo of herself posing against a brick wall in a tiny yellow bikini, captioning the shot “That sun glow ☀️💛.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Santos stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Loves Cheese and Wine

Santos says cheese and wine is “the way to my heart”. When it comes to dairy, experts say the less processed, the better. Opt for less processed dairy products – think flavorful cheeses like Parmesan, feta or part-skim mozzarella instead of processed American slices, and plain Greek yogurt instead of high-sugar flavored varieties,” says Julia Zumpano, RD, LD.

2. She Loves to Jet Ski

Santos loves to get out on the ocean on a jet ski when she gets the chance. “Jet ski is a great exercise; you burn a lot of calories, get some cardiovascular work, learn how to maintain proper balance, release a lot of stress, and you can even work many different muscle groups,” says Tim Conner, MD. “The most important thing is that this activity is also fun, which has mental health benefits.”

3. She Enjoys Swimming

Santos likes to swim both in the pool and out in the ocean. “Swimming has long been recognized for its cardiovascular benefits,” says Seena Mathew, Assistant Professor of Biology at The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. “Because swimming involves all of the major muscle groups, the heart has to work hard, which increases blood flow throughout the body. This leads to the creation of new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis. The greater blood flow can also lead to a large release of endorphins—hormones that act as a natural pain reducer throughout the body. This surge brings about the sense of euphoria that often follows exercise.”

4. She Loves Lobster

Santos loves to treat herself to some delicious lobster when she’s on vacation. “Lobster provides a significant amount of minerals, such as zinc, calcium, phosphorus, selenium, and potassium, as well as B vitamins,” says Faye L. Dong, PhD, professor emerita, department of food science and human nutrition, University of Illinois. “If you eat lobster one day a week and a fattier fish like salmon one or two times a week, you’ll have your omega-3 intake covered for the week,” says Eric Rimm, ScD, professor of epidemiology and nutrition, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

5. She Drinks Beer

Santos likes to indulge in an ice-cold Heineken once in a while. “Beer contains vitamin B6, which prevents the build-up of the amino-acid homocysteine that has been linked to heart disease,” says Jim Collins, PhD. “People with higher levels of homocysteine tend to be at higher risk of an earlier onset of heart and vascular disease. Almost everything we eat or drink can provide health benefits as long as they are consumed in moderation.”

4. She Horseback Rides

Sanz is taking horseback riding lessons. She shared this photo and video on Instagram of herself riding. Sanz captioned the post, “Lucky me to be instructed by a jumping champion.” A study at Texas A&M reports that riding has a lot of benefits. “The study included 20 individuals completing three riding tests: a 45-minute walk-trot-canter ride, a reining pattern and a cutting pattern while wearing a telemetric gas analyzer. Heart rate, respiratory frequency, pulmonary ventilation, oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production were among several items evaluated. The study revealed energy expenditure and heart rate responses were greater for reining and cutting than for the walk-trot-canter ride. The researchers concluded that the results of the study ‘provide novel information about exercise intensity values for horseback activities and differences among riding disciplines measured in real time using a portable system.’”

5. She Loves Salmon

Sanz makes sure to eat healthy. She even has an Instagram story highlight dedicated to some of her favorite healthy meals. One thing she likes to eat is salmon. In one photo, Sanz enjoys a plate of salmon and rice. SafeBeat.org reports that salmon has a lot of benefits. “Salmon is an excellent food source for the heart and brain. Medical studies have found that taking 0.45 to 4.5 grams of omega-3 fatty acids can significantly improve heart function, lower blood pressure, and reduce inflammation. The fish also contributes to cognitive health due to the presence of DHA—a type of omega-3 fatty acid.”
