In an essay for Women's Health Alicia revealed that being bullied by Donald Trump for her weight led to her developing anorexia and bulimia. "Luckily, I was able to recover with help from my mother and the rest of my family. Just as they did when I was growing up, my family gave me so much positive feedback about who I am as a person. That reassurance, along with therapy, helped me overcome my disorders. My friends and colleagues in the soap opera I was starring in at the time also helped take care of me by creating a kind and supportive environment for me to work in. It took time, but I learned to feel positive about myself and regain my self-esteem. I began focusing on working out to be strong, healthy, and feel good—not to lose weight," she said.
Alicia takes baths as a self-care method. "Already relaxing for tonight's great performance," she captioned a photo of herself soaking in a hot tub. 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.
Alicia revealed to Telemundo that she lost 25 pounds after going on a reality show, attributing it to exercise. "I have to share the La Casa de los Famosos diet, because everyone asks me. They've made me crazy about social media: Alicia, please, what did you do? How did you get like this? Give me all the advice," she said. "It was a lot of effort, a lot of discipline. I have always believed that exercise cures everything, and when I feel really bad or energy is very heavy, it is a good remedy."
Alicia loves running to stay in shape. "Running 🏃♀️ time! It's a beautiful day," she captioned a photo of herself on a jog with a pal. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say.
Alicia loves starting the day with a protein shake, fueling her body for a workout. "Good morning ☀️ my loves! There's nothing a good #proteinshake can't alleviate! With energy and positivity to go out ♀️ 🏃 to the street to live and that's it!" she captioned a photo.
