Jessica makes sure to stretch, offering “reasons you should stretch every day!” in a post. “You can improve stress, Release tender muscles, Hin body maintenance, It’s the Most Flexible and Accessible way to Look After Yourself, You’ll Be Aging without the Greys,” she captioned the post. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”
Jessica is all about hydration. “People been asking me what I’ve been up to, what I drink in that gallon everyday and how I get so strong,” she wrote.

Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
