Namita Nayyar:
How do you train your abs? One secret to your toned body.
Christina Carreira:
I try to engage my abs in every exercise I do, so I’m constantly working on it. I do a lot of different core exercises in the gym that help, and I find that Pilates has really helped tone my abs.
Namita Nayyar:
Do you take a special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Christina Carreira:
I don’t have a very strict diet, but I’d say my diet is pretty flexible, I like eating healthy and that’s my first choice most of the time but sometimes I like to treat myself. I need to be fueled properly for training so my diet will also depend on the intensity of my training.
Namita Nayyar:
Five foods you love and five you keep to a minimum.
Christina Carreira:
My top 5 favorite foods would be; avocado, strawberries, eggs, cauliflower, and chocolate. Foods I try to stay away from, I think everything in moderation is okay but I try to stay away from processed foods, and dairy just because I usually feel better when I don’t have it.
Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your hair care and skincare routine.
Christina Carreira:
When it comes to my hair and skin, I’ve learned that my diet impacts my hair and skin. I try to eat whole foods to make sure my body is absorbing as much nutrients as possible, and I drink a lot of water. For my hair care routine, I try to keep it as simple as possible, I use Kerastase shampoo, conditioner, and hair oil. I try to use heat on my hair as little as possible but when I do, I use a heat protectant. When it comes to my skin, at night, I remove my makeup with micellar water I wash my face with a gentle face wash and I put on the la Roche Posay Cicaplast, I have very dry skin so this hydrates my skin. In the morning, I only wash my face and put on moisturizer. I try to stay out of the sun for the most part but if I’m not training indoors all day I’ll wear sunscreen.
