Malia Manuel knows health. The 22-year-old Kauai native finished in the top 10 on the WSL’s Women’s Championship Tour this year, and her athletic success is no fluke. Malia trains hard, and she takes care of herself. In 2015 she was named one of MindBodyGreen’s 100 Women to Watch in Wellness, and she launched her lifestyle blog, The Gypsea Files. We caught up with Malia to see how she plans to make 2016 her best year yet.
Drink More…
Water with lemon. Every morning I’m going to chug a glass of lemon water before coffee. I feel so much better when I do, and it helps balance your PH levels in the morning, flush toxins, boost immune system and helps digestion.
Eat More…
Superfoods. This is usually on my resolution lists so I keep making it a lifestyle habit. Chia seeds, maca powder, spirulina, raw foods, and wild foods like seaweed, roots, algae, fermented foods.
Move More…
When I’m on the road. I want to make an effort to find a hike or adventure wherever I am in the world.
Meditate More…
Because why not? I want to be a little more zen in 2016. Thanks to one of my favorite sites, Yoga Glo, this is a realistic resolution for me.
Think Green More…
I want to eliminate single use plastics from my life. This year I’ll look to reusable water bottles, utensils to help replace disposables. I’ll also bring shopping bags to the grocery store and create natural household cleaners.
