Alyssa also enjoys a cup of coffee in the morning, making her Bulletproof black coffee while posting to social media. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. "It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function," they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
Alyssa enjoys books. "I'm also trying to read a little before bed now," she says. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

Sea Snax: She either eats them by themselves or cuts up veggies and makes little veggie rolls with hummus on top. "My favorite hummus is the Trader Joe's eggplant hummus or one from my local farmer's market," she says.
Simple Mills or Hu Kitchen crackers with Misha's Kind Foods truffle cream cheese: "If you can't find that cream cheese, Kite Hill makes really good cream cheese – they have a seasonal pumpkin pie one right now that's amazing," she says.
Coconut yogurt: "There are so many good ones but I love Kite Hill greek style coconut yogurt or Culina, "and I love to put Sunbutter in it with chocolate chips," she says.
