Torres works out with husband Eduardo Videgaray five times a week. She is also careful about her diet due to thyroid issues. “It was simply a matter of modifying my diet, now I am about 12 kilos [26 pounds] down,” she says. “Every day Eduardo and I go to the gym to exercise five times a week.”
Torres swears by rose water for helping maintain her skin health and beauty. She even puts rose petals in her bath for a touch of luxury. Rose water is said to have anti-inflammatory properties, and can help soothe eczema and rosacea symptoms.
Torres loves adding fresh-squeezed limes to her food and drinks. “Limes are low in calories, high in micronutrients and punch above their weight with regard to both water and fiber content,” says Carly Sedlacek RDN, LD. “They’re really good for us, but most of us aren’t going to make a snack of them. The juice — without added sugar — is the best we can do.”
Torres loves sushi and sashimi, especially salmon. “Just 3.5 ounces of salmon has 20 grams of protein, which is vital for cell repair and production, muscle health, and fighting infections,” according to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “It also contains iron, further supporting muscle metabolism.”
Torres puts those many bathing suits to good use—she loves to swim. Aerobic exercise such as swimming is good for both physical and brain health. “We know that physical exercise, and aerobic exercise in particular, is very beneficial for maintaining brain health, even in people who are at risk for developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease,” says neuropsychologist Aaron Bonner-Jackson, PhD. “With regular exercise, you can make a major difference in terms of how your body is functioning and, as a result, how your brain is functioning.”
