Venus's Top 5 Tips For a Healthy Body

Being physically healthy enables you to have better health overall, it can also help to reduce stress and anxiety, boost your self-esteem, protects your mental health and can lead to better relationships.

You only have one body and it does so much for you everyday that you just take for granted. We understand that you always have so much going on so wanted to share 5 top tips for a healthy body from someone who knows all too well about the importance of looking after yourself! 

“In tennis, you’re playing back-to-back matches—sometimes six matches in one week. You don’t get to sit on the bench or have someone sub in. It’s all you every day.” - Venus Williams

1. Love The Way You Move

Find a workout that you enjoy doing so that way you’ll keep doing it and look forward to doing it. It’s nice if you have people to workout with and train with too to help keep you motivated and accountable.

2. Eat To Fuel Your Body 

Venus always starts her day with supplements, some of her favorites are olive leaf extract (to help boost immunity and reduce inflammation) , oregano oil (powerful antioxidant), lysine (help the body absorb calcium) and vitamin C (help strengthen immune system). 

To give back to her body after a workout she always have a banana or Happy Viking vegan protein within 30 minutes of training. 

3. Stretch

Stretching is key to aging well and the key to preventing injuries and it’s key in releasing those unbelievable endorphins. 

4. Sleep

"This probably doesn't come as a surprise, but my number one piece of advice for anyone preparing to be a competitive athlete is to invest in your sleep. Sleep is SO important— consistently getting quality sleep sets you up for success." - Venus Williams 

Venus calls the  Asutra’s Mist Your Mood lavender and chamomile spray her “secret weapon” when she needs to wind down after a long day—and it's perfect to travel with.

“I spray it on my face and my pillow no matter where I am before I go to sleep and it has made the biggest difference in getting the rest I need.” - Venus Williams 

 

5. Be Kind To Yourself

Being kind to yourself is important for your mental and physical health, relationships, and productivity. It allows you to be the best version of yourself and live a more fulfilling life. Venus's answer is balance, to aim on being good most of the time, and not to feel guilty about taking a day off of working out or treating yourself with  your favorite food. You don't have to be a saint everyday.
