Palmer meditates to support her mental health. "Meditation has saved my life," she says. "At times my mind is fast and furious. It tells me lies. You can choose joy in any situation. It'll take time. It is magic. I love my practice. I'm so grateful."

Palmer loves to dance, which is a great way to stay fit and have lots of fun in the process. "I think it's really important to keep fit," she says. "When I was doing Strictly Come Dancing I was very fit from all the dancing; it's a great way to keep fit."df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

Palmer doesn't drink or smoke. "For many people, the possible benefits don't outweigh the risks and avoiding alcohol is the best course," says the Mayo Clinic. "On the other hand, if you're a light to moderate drinker and you're healthy, you can probably continue to drink alcohol as long as you do so responsibly."

Palmer loves exercising in the fresh air. "I live by the sea so I like to swim and ride my bike," she says. "I also enjoy walking but I don't really stick to any one routine… I used to do a lot of kickboxing in London and found it great for toning your arms and excellent for your legs."

Palmer enjoys plenty of fresh, organic foods. "I eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and also cook at home," she says. "I have three kids so it's important that they eat well. We always eat organic. There are so many beautiful fresh foods out there that I really love to cook."
