MacKenzie Meehan is exercising in Texas – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Bull star shows off her amazing body in workout clothes during a group sweat session with her pals. “We Texased so hard,” she captioned the Instagram photos of her girl’s getaway. How does the star approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
MacKenzie is a coffee drinker. “If I were a Barbie…thank you @bittervictory for making my fall season,” she captioned a post of herself in a Barbie box holding a cup. 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.
MacKenzie is an avid reader and regularly recommends books to her followers. “Since becoming a mother I found myself starting many books, getting half way through and never picking it up again. Finally, after 3 years of searching for a story that kept my attention, I found it. @stepville is an incredible writer, woman and mother. If you’re looking for a great read, try Maid,” she captioned a post. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren’t readers or who read periodicals.
MacKenzie loves to ski. “Home,” she captioned a photo from the slopes of Copper Mountain, Colorado. Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.
MacKenzie enjoys drinking white wine. “Just what I needed,” she captioned a photo of herself holding a glass. While red wine is slightly healthier than white, the lighter shade of vino generally has fewer calories than the darker shade.
MacKenzie likes to make exercise fun by sweating with friends. Why should you consider finding a workout buddy? There is a lot of scientific evidence that working out with others is an effective tactic, as it makes you more accountable.
