Rachael Finch shares her healthy tips amid coronavirus pandemic

Many Australians are self-isolating for the next two weeks amid the coronavirus pandemic.

And former Miss Universe Rachael Finch shared her tips on ‘staying healthy in these crazy and uncertain times’ in an Instagram post on Monday.

The 31-year-old said it’s important to focus on ‘taking care of ourselves and those around us’ through good nutrition, calming energy, sleep and essential oils.

‘A time more than ever [where] we need to focus on taking care of ourselves and those around us,’ Rachael began.  

After revealing she had received ‘a lot of questions’ about how she’s ‘staying healthy in these crazy and uncertain times,’ Rachael broke down her step-by-step plan.   

‘Ramping up the fruit and vegetable intake for sure, which means a lot more colour and variety,’ the fitness enthusiast told fans.

Listing immunity boosting ingredients such as blueberries, citrus fruits, spinach and mushrooms, Rachael said she adds these to smoothies, soups and stir fries. 

Vitamins and minerals: The former Miss Universe said she’s ‘ramping up the fruit and vegetable intake’ and has been making a ‘big batch of broth once a week’ 

‘The body thrives on the vitamins and minerals extracted from cooking bones over a long period of time. I make a big batch [of broth] once a week,’ she continued.   

Rachael said she complements her nutrition with ‘calming energy’ and reminds herself that she can only control what she can control.

‘I’ve been doing my 20 minute meditations every day which has been life-changing and allowed me to stay calm and grounded,’ she wrote.

‘When the body is in a resting state under minimal stress, it has a greater chance to heal and function optimally. Listen to signs. Don’t force a workout that you know your body doesn’t want.’
