ANA BERNAL
A
BY A N G EL I C A G AVA L D O N
na Bernal is a beautiful mother
and wife who keeps herself and
her family healthy with amazing,
nutritious food that you can also
prepare at your home. I find great
inspiration in women like Ana, who
is able to do it all with such grace
and a great attitude!
Here is day in her life:
5:30 a . m . Starting the Day
Ana wakes up and has a glass of water with apple cider
vinegar and then a cup of coffee with coconut milk. For
Ana, physical health is an important part of her routine
that helps her balance her life and makes her happier. She
works out five days a week. For her exercise, she usually
does yoga. After working out, she has avocado toast or
eggs with a green smoothie. Then, she wakes up her
daughters by 7 a.m. to get them ready to go to school.
9 a . m . Work
Ana has been teaching cooking classes for the past two
years, sharing her passion for cooking with her students.
Currently, she teaches classes on how to create healthy,
delicious meals. As a compliment to her classes, she also
has a food blog where she shares many amazing recipes that
are available for all of us to try - check out her recipe for a
healthy green salad below! Some other projects of Ana’s are
exploring gastronomic gems from Latin American countries
and opening additional locations for Perfect Balance, a
healthy foods café located in Los Cabos, BCS, Mexico.
3 p . m . Afternoon Activities
Ana’s lunch typically depends on the weather. On sunny
days, she often makes salads or veggies and maybe
some grilled fish. If it is cooler, she likes to make soups
and roasted vegetables. During the afternoon, she also
supervises her daughters’ homework and likes to be there
for their after-school activities. As a way to manage all her
commitments, Ana tries to stay mindful and focused on
what is happening in the moment. She also strives to always
remain positive while completing her daily tasks.

6 p . m . Dinner
Ana spends quality time with her family over a light dinner while
watching Jeopardy. Then, after some family time and putting the
kids to bed, she goes to sleep around 10 p.m. In her free time, she
likes to explore her city. Some of her favorite places in San Diego
are Sunset Cliffs for a hike as well as all the beaches. She especially
enjoys the view of the Bay from the top of the Hyatt. But her very
favorite place since she has been a child is Balboa Park, and who
could blame her.
As you can see, we can learn a lot from how Ana plans her day to
stay healthy and productive, while still making time for family.
