Ms. Namita Nayyar:
With an audience of over 151k followers on your Instagram account @rosanna_davison you’re a social media sensation. How does it feel that you are able to inspire and influence the lifestyle of so many women across the globe? What’s your success “mantra”?
Ms. Rosanna Davison:
I enjoy using social media, although I began my career even before emails came along, so I feel like a bit of a dinosaur sometimes! When used properly, social media is a super way to connect with others, promote businesses and stay in contact with family and friends. But I can’t stand the negativity and bullying that all too often comes with it. However, I’m lucky that I get very little trolling and I use the block button if I do rather than getting involved. I like Instagram but I take it with a pinch of salt too and don’t allow myself to either believe everything I see or compare myself to others. I think that’s such an important lesson to learn and to keep in mind. Enjoy it but draw a line between Instagram and reality and don’t allow it to take over your life or get in the way of real events and relationships.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
In August 2015 you released your first cookery book, Eat Yourself Beautiful, which went on to become a best-seller. Tell us more about your love for cooking. And how does it feel to be a part of the huge media response for your book?
Ms. Rosanna Davison:
I’m still very proud of my debut book, Eat Yourself Beautiful, and the incredibly positive response it received from readers. I love to create simple, wholesome, healthy, plant-based recipes at home and for friends and family. The book contains a lot of science-based nutrition information on the best foods to eat to support digestive health, immune system health, energy levels, and encourage glowing skin and healthier, stronger hair. Plus it has a 7-day radiance food plan and 100 healthy recipes. Like many people, I don’t have the time to spend prepping food and cooking for hours each day, so I design recipes that are simple, quick and offer a wide range of health benefits too.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
On your website you have spoken about the challenges and pressures that models face in the industry, “I have seen how miserable models can make themselves by starving their bodies and obsessing about every morsel they eat, and I have most definitely felt the pressures of this competitive industry too. But my experiences have helped to form my entire approach to and philosophy about food.” How has this helped you develop a more balanced and healthy approach in life?
Ms. Rosanna Davison:
In my early twenties, I felt pressure to look a certain way and that developed more as interest in social media grew. Over the years I’ve worked alongside models that have admitted to feeling miserable because of the physical pressures it can bring about. One of the many reason I was inspired to start studying nutrition back in 2010 was because I had a professional interest in maintaining a high level of physical and mental fitness, immune system health and optimal energy levels. I traveled a lot and really needed to stay healthy and well. These days, I’ve found a lifestyle that works well for me, but allows me to enjoy treats and fun times too.
