1. Meghann Fahy Hydrates

Meghann Fahy’s top tip? Hydration. “I down a massive Yeti water bottle, pre-coffee. Hydrating myself is key. I drink so much more water than I even care to drink because I think that it really really helps me get through those 14-, 15-, 16-hour days that we pull sometimes. It helps mentally and physically, and it’s great for my skin,” she told Women’s Health. “On days I can sleep till 7:00, I go to Orangetheory or run. I live in [Brooklyn], so I run by the water a lot,”

2. Simona Tabasco Loves Outdoor Exercise

True to her last name, Simona Tabasco likes to keep things spicy and even has a [chili-pepper tattoo on her forearm]. “Yes! I love it,” she told Vulture about being named after hot sauce. “I love that it’s in my name and part of me. But specifically, it reflects my personality — or at least half of it. There’s a side to me that’s quite quirky and spicy.” She also enjoys outdoor exercise. Two of her favorite forms of fitness? Swimming and hiking.

3. Haley Lu Richardson Dances

Fun fact: Haley Lu Richardson was a competitive dancer before she became famous, and it is still her go-to fitness form. “I danced for like eight or nine years. I was super focused and committed to that; all I did was go to school and then dance and get no sleep. That’s when I learned about self-motivation and committing to something, and also about how much I love entertaining and telling stories. And I think dance and acting have those things in common,” she told The Last Magazine.

4. Leo Woodall Hikes

Leo Woodall enjoys hiking. “Still sore from getting that Uber to the tippy top,” he joked about his Runyon Canyon hike in Los Angeles. Physical benefits of taking a hike include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

5. Aubrey Plaza Loves Yoga

Aubrey Plaza explained to The Cut that she believes wellness is “being conscious of what you’re putting into your body and on your body, and taking care of yourself.” She starts her day with water, followed by a smoothie, coffee, and ginger tea. As for her workouts, she loves yoga and basketball. “I’ve been playing since I was a kid,” she said.

6. Adam DiMarco Plays Basketball

Aubrey isn’t the only White Lotus star who shoots hoops. Adam DiMarco also stays in shape with the help of basketball.

7. Beatrice Granno Walks

Beatrice Granno loves to go for walks, a great way to stay in shape according to science. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

1. Beach Lover

Thuy loves the beach, calling it her happy place. “High levels of minerals such as magnesium, iodine and potassium are found in sea water, all of which help fight off infection, assist the body in healing and detoxifying and provide therapeutic effects,” says UPMC Health. “The health benefits of ocean air also detoxify the body by filling your lungs with negatively charged ions that boost your immune system. Swimming in sea water also unclogs pores in the skin and allows for the expulsion of toxins from the body. Another benefit of sea water includes enhanced circulation. Sea water restores essential minerals that have been depleted by poor diet, stress and environmental toxins.”

2. Pizza and Salad

A typical meal for Thuy is pizza with a big side salad. “Pile the vegetable toppings high, or serve along with a salad, and your pizza meal is incredibly balanced,” says nutritionist Dana Angelo White, MS, RD, ATC. “Lean meats like chicken and ground turkey are welcomed additions. Toppings can also be placed atop a cooked pizza – that is the best time to pile on fresh herbs, a drizzle of hot honey or some lightly dressed greens.”

3. Representing Asian Actors

Thuy is proud to act as a role model for Asian people on screen. “Part of the reason I chose acting as my craft was because there was such a huge lack of diversity on TV and cinema in my hometown of Montreal, Quebec,” she says. “To this day, the industry there still lags behind in terms of representation, and that’s something I have always wanted to defy. Hopefully, I can do my part so young people of color in Quebec can grow up feeling like they matter – that they’re seen and have a right to exist with all their colors, quirks, and weirdness. It also just makes me mad that Asian Americans are largely ignored in popular media. This has got to change! Acting has given me my voice, so I am deeply grateful that I can live in a way that satisfies both my social activist and artistic sides.”

4. LGBTQ Role Model

Thuy says she is honored to give marginalized communities exposure. “I’m moved by the support and love from Black Lightning fans in the LGBTQ community,” she says. “They are my favorite people in the world, and I want to give them so much love! I’m super proud and honored to play Grace Choi and to do my part to give them voice and visibility, especially young LGBTQ women of color. I understand how identifying as bisexual is still confusing for society, and that some people don’t think it’s a legit thing. But it is! I remember years ago reading an article arguing that we all fall somewhere on the sexual orientation spectrum. It’s important to me that I am neither straight nor a lesbian; I am bisexual, and that is its own thing. I’ve loved hearing from fans how much it’s meant to them to hear that proudly and unequivocally spoken.”

5. Fresh Fruit

Thuy loves snacking on fresh fruit, including pineapple, papaya, and watermelon. “Pineapple is the only food known to contain bromelain, an enzyme that helps your skin and tissues heal,” says Julia Zumpano, RD, LD. “Bromelain appears to produce substances that combat in pain and swelling. If you have achy joints from osteoarthritis, try adding pineapple into your diet, but don’t stop taking your medications or change your dose without talking to your doctor.”

1. Swimming In the Sunshine

One look at Lewis’s social media shows just how much she loves swimming and the beach. “Swimming is one of the few activities that work your whole body,” says the British Heart Foundation. “Breaststroke, backstroke, front crawl, butterfly and even doggy paddle get your legs and arms moving. This in turn works your back and core muscles.”

2. Proud of Beverley

Lewis was proud to portray a biracial character in 2015 film Beverley. “I really loved that it was about a mixed race young girl,” she says. “You know, you get a lot of movies, different narratives that kind of circulate around the 80s, Margaret Thatcher, etc. But to be of mixed race, that’s often not covered and to be a mixed-race girl it’s kind of like you don’t know where you stand in society. You’re still a teenager as well as dealing with all those other troubles anyway… I just thought it would be really great to live through that, and being mixed race myself, I faced issues like bullying and stuff when I was in school – about the color of my skin. So, I thought it would be interesting to share that story and try to become part of it.”

3. No Drama School

Lewis never formally trained as an actress, and got her role in Skins from an open audition. “I didn’t go to drama school,” she says. “I was one of those people who was quite stuck with that. When everyone else was applying for university, I did apply, but I wasn’t too bothered about it, because I knew that I didn’t want to go at that time. I think my plan was to save and travel and do some volunteer work. I knew I wanted to eventually do a degree in media and cultural studies, which is what I’m doing now. But at the time I was just thinking of maybe traveling for a year and sort of deciding over that period what I really wanted to do.”

4. Vegan Meals

Lewis enjoys plant-based vegan meals. "You can be overweight and be a vegan; you can be malnourished and be a vegan," says cardiologist Jeffrey Soble, MD. "Whatever your diet choice, you have to know which foods to avoid and which foods to seek out... Refined grains, sweets and junk food are troublemakers for everyone, not just vegans. And vegans and nonvegans alike can fall into the habit of making these items the mainstays of their diet."

5. Media Studies

Lewis studied media and cultural studies alongside acting. “In a way, I find it’s quite separate from acting – not separate from the industry, but from acting itself,” she says. “The two can mesh, but now it’s like two separate things, which is nice, because it breaks things up. At this age, you’re getting jobs in dribs and drabs, at other times you’re working non-stop. So, it’s nice to have something separate to work on in my own time. I’m just enjoying learning as well. A lot of it is theory-based and to do with different cultures, so it’s nice to be doing that well."
