Everyone knows that the GOOP is all about health, but people might not know that that obsession actually stems from somewhere.
Gwyneth has now opened up about it, and her reasons are legit — and mostly related to her dad dying early from his unhealthy habits.
Here’s what she said:
“I would do anything to have him back, but half the reason that my life is good, has real, true value, is that he died. All I’ve learned about nutrition and health came from his cancer,” she says. “I’ll probably have a long and healthy life because he didn’t. I wish he hadn’t smoked, because the fact is that he did and he died. As much grief and pain and trauma and heartache are caused, there was an equal amount of positivity that came out of his death.”
It sounds like it was sad and unnecessary, but at least some good blossomed from it. Almost every terrible thing has a brighter side, no matter how dim it may be.
We’re glad that you’re so healthy, and we’re glad that you don’t take it for granted!
Keep it up, Goop!
