10 celebrity role models to inspire your healthy living
They may be renowned for their faddy
diets, party lifestyles and stints in rehab, yet not all A-listers put
their health on the back burner. To get inspiration from some super-fit
and healthy stars, check out our top 10 healthiest celebs.
Jennifer Lopez
With her toned body and glowing skin, J-Lo clearly demonstrates the
benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Having begun her career as a dancer,
Jennifer has always been a fan of exercise yet she still has a healthy,
relaxed attitude to diet and fitness, claiming to eat everything in
moderation and stating that, while she tries to fit in regular exercise,
her babies will always come first. Yet, despite this relaxed approach,
super-fit J-Lo – who is also a strict non-smoker and teetotaller –
impressively managed to completed a triathlon just seven months after
giving birth to her twins.
Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz is the classic California girl with her outdoorsy nature
and love of exercise. Cameron has an extremely active lifestyle and
perfectly toned physique and has recently embarked on a healthy eating
regime to help fuel her lifestyle. As well as regularly hitting the gym,
Cameron takes part in a variety of outdoor activities including
surfing, snowboarding, running and skiing. The actress is also a
poster-girl for good self-esteem, claiming to love her body more than
ever since she hit her late thirties.
Jessica Alba
If you think that your weight is determined by your genes, take note
of Jessica Alba who proves that this need not be the case. You would
never know it by looking at her, but Jessica has admitted to coming from
a heavily overweight family. However, rather than following in her
family’s footsteps, Jessica defied her genes and took her health into
her own hands by starting to cook healthy meals for herself at the age
of 12. Now a long-term healthy eater, the Hollywood actress follows a
strict healthy eating regimen that cuts out processed foods in favour of
organic, fresh ingredients.
Kate Beckinsale
When it comes to healthy eating and exercise, many celebrities
clearly go to extremes. It is refreshing, therefore, to see a celebrity
who has conquered her demons and emerged with a healthy body image and
lifestyle to match. While Kate Beckinsale famously battled an eating
disorder during her teen years, the British actress has since settled at
a healthy weight. While Kate follows a sensible, balanced diet and
partakes in regular exercise, she steers clear of excessive training and
refuses to get hung up on a pursuit of the perfect body.
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston is a renowned health icon who embraces the perfect healthy combo of both regular exercise and a good diet. The Friends
star reportedly cuts out processed foods from her diet and stocks up on
protein and plenty of fresh fruit and veg. On top of this, Jennifer is
dedicated to a varied exercise routine, incorporating cardio training,
weight lifting and plenty of yoga and Pilates into her regular routine.
David Beckham
As a professional football player and model, David Beckham is pretty
much obligated to be fit. However, on top of his intense training
sessions, Beckham is also an advocate of a healthy diet and lifestyle
and has recently launched a range of healthy meals to help get kids
eating well too. To complement his healthy lifestyle, Beckham has also
made the decision to remain teetotal; a decision which no doubt helps
towards maintaining those famous abs.
Jessica Biel
No one can accuse Jessica Biel of not being up for a challenge. The
A-list actress is almost frighteningly fit, regularly taking part in
intense workouts with her personal trainer consisting of weight
training, stretches and cardio. However, the activity doesn’t stop
there. Jessica recently took part in a six-day journey to the summit of
Mount Kilimanjaro and has now set her sights on climbing Mount Everest
as her next fitness goal.
Tobey Maguire
Spiderman actor Tobey Maguire is not only concerned with keeping his
own health in tip-top shape, but the Hollywood star also joined
America’s Healthy School Lunch Campaign to help campaign for healthier
school lunch options; an act that is demonstrative of his passion for
healthy living. Tobey also ensures his own diet is in great shape by
following a healthy vegan diet and abstaining from drinking alcohol.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow is a star who has always carefully monitored her
health and diet. While in the past the actress may have taken healthy
eating to the extreme with her allegiance to the Macrobiotic diet,
Gwyneth has more recently relaxed her restrictive diet while still
following some of its healthier principles. Gwyneth is also an advocate
of good home-cooking, having recently released a cookbook packed with
healthy options.
Jake Gyllenhaal
As well as being a dedicated barefoot runner who has set himself the
goal of running a marathon, Jake Gyllenhaal has a strong interest in
healthy eating. In fact, the actor not only admits to being a keen cook
with an obsession with recipe books, but he makes sure to include lots
of fresh food in his diet. So much so that Jake is a regular at farmers’
markets and also grows his own vegetables in his garden at home.
