Luana Alonso is heating up the Olympics in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Paraguayan swimmer who is a student at the University of Texas shows off her amazing figure in a bathing suit. “Last one, fast one ;)” the swimmer, who Sports Illustrated dubbed the “next Livvy Dunne,” captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Swimming

Spending hours in the pool every day helps the breaststroker keep her curves in check. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses, says the CDC. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

2. Jet Skiing

Luana enjoys jet skiing. During a trip to Doha she showed off her skills. According to Health Fitness Revolution, the average 150-pound rider will burn a surprising 238 calories during a half-hour ride. The sport is also great for cardiovascular endurance.

3. Strength Training

Luana keeps her body ready for the pool by putting in hours at the gym. Strength training is a big part of her routine. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

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

4. Coffee

Luana regularly shares Instagram Stories of herself drinking coffee. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

5. Well Balanced Diet

Luana maintains a well balanced diet, eating mostly super healthy food but also indulging. She regularly shares photos of her meals via her Instagram Stories. They include sushi, salads with protein, Acai bowls, hamburgers, hibachi, avocado toast, and tacos.
