Gabriela has been open about her eating disorder struggles. “I developed an eating disorder in 2020 and I suffer from it a lot." She would weigh “every single food” she ate on a digital scale and recorded the numbers until she hit 1,000 calories. She explains that she worked out a lot at the time. “It took a lot of time to find a professional who could help me.”
3. Swimming
Gabriela loves swimming when she is on vacation. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. 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. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.
4. Coffee
Gabriela is a coffee drinker. 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. Healthy Eating

As part of her eating disorder recovery, Gabriela found someone who helped her put together a meal plan. “Little by little she helped me understand that food wasn’t my enemy. There is scientific evidence supporting the benefits of meal planning. Studies the more meals you eat prepared away from home, the higher your risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and early death. And, one study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity found meal planning was associated with a healthier diet and less obesity.
