Jump Rope
Anh jumps rope as part of her exercise routine. "Jumping rope can help improve your cognitive function," says Pete McCall, MS, CSCS. "This is because jumping rope involves learning new motor patterns, which improves the nervous system communication between your brain, wrists and lower leg muscles. This, in turn, helps to improve your overall cognitive function, which is an important benefit as we age."
Running With Her Dogs
Anh loves running outside with her two pups. "No matter your age, weight or athletic ability, aerobic activity is good for you," says the Mayo Clinic. "Aerobic activity has many health benefits. As your body adapts to regular aerobic exercise, you'll get stronger and fitter."
Shrimp and Avocado
Anh loves shrimp and avocado as a healthy yet delicious meal. Shellfish offer many health benefits, experts say. "These foods tend to be low in mercury, low in fat, and low in cholesterol," according to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "Even shrimp, which was once thought to be high in cholesterol, isn't out of bounds. It is higher in cholesterol and sodium than other types of shellfish, but it doesn't have unhealthy amounts."
Coffee Lover
Anh enjoys coffee throughout the day. "Coffee is made from beans, a plant food," says Devon Peart, MHSc, BASc, RD. "Research is showing that the phenolic components in coffee provide health-promoting effects similar to those in vegetables or fruits."
Wine Drinker
Anh partakes in the occasional glass of wine, which experts say should be enjoyed in moderation. "Antioxidants in red wine called polyphenols may help protect the lining of blood vessels in the heart," says the Mayo Clinic. "A polyphenol called resveratrol is one substance in red wine that's received attention for its health benefits."
