Raven Elyse is gardening in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the influencer shows off her amazing figure while enjoying time outdoors. “DIY garden trellis made out of a fence piece from Home Depot! Perfect for my climbing vine plants in my veggie garden boxes (which I also DIY’d) #garden #gardenbox #veggiegarden #trellis #diytrellis #viningplants,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
In an old Instagram post, Raven revealed some details about her diet. She eats gluten and dairy free “because I’m allergic,” she reveals. “I eat pretty ‘healthy’ and in small portions, not at all for fitness reasons…just always been that way. I actually wish I could eat more because I’d like to gain some weight,” she says.
Raven has “never been into” exercise, she claims in the same post. “Only been to the gym like 3 times in my life. I hate sweating. I’m weak af. Just naturally thin, always been lanky (I’m 5’11) never struggled with gaining extra weight most likely also due to my natural eating habits and fast metabolism,” she says.
Raven does go for the occasional walk-slash hike. “Walk with me through Joshua Tree 🌵,” she captioned a post in the dessert. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:
- Building stronger muscles and bones
- Improving your sense of balance
- Improving your heart health
- Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems
Raven prioritizes self-care. “You can’t pour from an empty cup, especially if you’re doing it all on your own. Treat yourself! 🛁🍷,” she captioned a photo of herself taking a bath, dedicating it to all the “single moms out there.” How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.
Raven enjoys the perks of caffeine. As part of a “Tulum photo dump,” she revealed that she drinks 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.
