Marisa and her boyfriend head to their local farmers market regularly to grab fresh ingredients. "I love being outside and getting fresh air," she says. "And it's not just about buying local, fresh food, which then, of course, translates into healthy things for your body and your skin. It's also about being part of the community and looking the people in the eye who have grown that food. All of these connections add to the vibrancy of life."
2. She Detoxes

She enjoys detoxing with a little hot water and lemon. "I never got into coffee," she says. "It may take me a little longer to get going than other people, but this just feels really cleansing in the morning." She’ll generally pair that with some kind of light breakfast like yogurt or eggs. "I find that protein wakes up my brain and gets me ready for the rest of my day," Marisa says.
3. She Follows The Inside-Out Approach
She follows what she calls the inside-out approach. "By that, I mean what you put into your body is even more crucial than what you're doing in terms of your exterior," she explained. "What I eat and how I connect with my body feed my external. Right before the press tour (for Spider-Man: Homecoming), I went to Greece for a few weeks because I was at a stressful point in my personal life. I got really relaxed, which really helped (me)! I try to eat seasonal, local, and organic foods as much as possible, almost all the time."
4. She Gives Herself A Little Freedom to Have Fun
She has fun and allows herself some freedom. "I trust my body's wisdom now,” Marisa said. “If a period of time goes by where I don't do something physical and connect with my body, I feel like I'm losing my intuition. But I don't want you to think I'm only about being all healthy-crunchy," Marisa said. "It's about feeling pleasure too. I love to play, play, play! To go out dancing and be boisterous. It's fun to be a night owl, or feel naughty, drink wine, and have sex! Now that's the best kind of play there is!"
5. She Makes Time For Meditation

She tries new things often when it comes to workouts. Everything from outdoor hikes to yoga and gymnastics-based calisthenics. She also prioritizes her mental health with moving meditation. “Moving meditation, like dance meditation, makes me feel at home in my skin; it helps me on a spiritual, mental, and, ultimately, physical level," she said. "The cornerstone of it all is the inner stuff." Meditation is a great tool for reducing stress, according to the Mayo Clinic.
