Eva Longoria has just got to have a happy life, right?? Well, it looks like she does! So, how does she keep it that way??
In a new interview with Health.com, she reveals what she thinks is the secret!
Here, she talks about her divorce and being super thin:
People think health only has to do with your physical being, but for me, it’s so much more. I remember after my divorce, I was so thin and everyone kept saying how great I looked and it was probably the most unhealthy place I’ve ever been. So it was funny what people would see as “healthy.” In my worst time, people were saying I’ve never looked better. [But now] I have a great diet and exercise routine. And I try to have a healthy outlook. I’m your everlasting, hopeless optimist!
She DOES eat though! Here she talks about snacking and meals, and exercise!:
I love to cook. But when I’m on set, I have food delivery sent there. Before I could afford a food delivery system, I would make my breakfast and lunch, I’d pack some snacks, and put almonds in my purse. I was always prepared because I was always hungry. It’s funny, I would be like, “Nuts anyone?” And they’d say, “What is in your purse?”
My bachelor’s degree is in kinesiology, so it’s ingrained in me to work out. I was an aerobics instructor, and a personal trainer in college, so I was addicted to exercise. I used to do an hour and a half to two hours a day. I’d teach a class and then train clients. And I realized I didn’t need that much. Now I like weight training and abs. I love abs. I hate the elliptical. I hate jogging. [Laughs] I despise cardio. I just…can’t do it. So I try to do my cardio within the workout.
And finally, and interestingly, here’s her biggest health regret:
Well, I think the time that I became a vegan. [Laughs] I love the philosophy behind veganism, but I went from one day eating chicken and meat to eating just salad. I didn’t know how to be a vegan. I didn’t know about soy or almond butter. I didn’t know that there are great breads. So I literally stuck to salads. And I think I passed out the first week.
Wow! We would have never guess that Veganism would be the biggest regret!
Also, we’re kinda glad that she doesn’t work out as much as she used to — that’s kinda overboard if you ask us! Plus she looks the healthiest she’s ever been right now, and we would never agree with those people who said that her thinnest was the healthiest!
Plus, it’s so nice to hear how happy she sounds!
