Superman’s Maria Gabriela De Faria In Bikini Is “Enough”

Maria Gabriela De Faria is heating up the beach with her new dog – in a bikini. In a new social media post, the Superman star shows off her fantastic figure in a tiny bathing suit while enjoying a beach day. “Not every first time is love at first sight. Jude wasn’t sure about the ocean today, but she loved being with us, and that’s enough,” she captioned the set of Instagram snaps. How does the star approach health and wellness? Here are her top diet and fitness habits.

María doesn’t consume animal products. Her cat inspired her veganism. “It might sound crazy but that’s how it all started,” she told Modern Wellness Guide. “I started thinking how crazy it was for me to love and care for my cat and at the same time pay for somebody to kill, cut, and package another animal who feels the same amount of pain, joy, happiness, and desires as my cat,” she said. “It’s a statement about peace, love, and kindness to every single being on the planet.” María’s vegan diet fuels her workouts. “It made me faster and stronger than ever and gave me all the energy I needed to wake up at 4 a.m., work out, and then go on a 16-hour work day,” she said.

María enjoys hiking, “one of the best ways to get exercise,” say the National Parks Service. Some physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of respiratory issues. According to a Stanford University study, it also offers many mental health benefits.

María keeps healthy snacks on hand so she doesn’t reach for junk. “When I went fully vegan, I educated myself in terms of what to eat at different times and for different situations. Now I know that success comes with being prepared, so I don’t leave my place without nuts or fruit. It’s just that easy,” she told Modern Wellness Guide.df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

To get ready for Superman: Legacy, she spent a lot of time at the gym: “Now you know why I’ve been working out like a crazy person.” Her routine consists of a lot of weight and strength training exercises, using hand weights and body weight. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and build lean muscle mass, and increase calorie burn. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills

María cooks her own food. “It takes no time to cook some rice and roast some veggies,” she says. “Just eat what comes from the earth, like rice, quinoa, all types of beans, all kinds of veggies, all fruits, all the nuts,” she added, revealing that she also stays away from processed foods. “Make sure your food is full of color and life.”
