I constantly get asked about my “diet” and fitness routine. The only fitness tip I can offer is to do Tracy Anderson, and the only diet tip I can offer is to NOT diet. I am all about living a healthy lifestyle and treating my body with the utmost respect and love. Here are four small things you can change to live a healthier life!
1. STOP SMOKING CIGS. Honestly, this should go without saying, but apparently people still do this. You know it kills you, it smells awful, and quite frankly it’s not a good look. THE ONLY and I mean ONLY acceptable time to smoke a cigarette is at a super chic cafe in Paris. Besides that, you are basically saying F*** YOU to your lovely body.
2. STOP DRINKING COKE, DIET COKE, REDBULL, ETC. Again, it completely blows my mind that people still drink this shit. Anything with aspartame is a big NO NO. This additive (also disguised as Nurta Sweet & Equal) causes everything ranging from headaches, chronic fatigue and depression to cancer and seizures. Plus it makes you FAT. I even stopped chewing gum and switched to mints when I saw that there was aspartame in gum. INSTEAD, drink some iced coffee, a matcha latte, or grab a green juice. It’s all about changing habits people.
3. STOP DRINKING MILK. Do you know that we are the only species on Earth that drinks the milk of another species. We are also the only species of mammals that drinks milk after infancy. Cows milk is designed to turn a calve into a full grown cow in the shortest period of time. Not to mention it’s filled with hormones. Use almond milk, coconut milk, hemp milk ANYTHING ELSE. The thought of someone drinking a full glass of milk right now makes me want to VOM (it).
4. STOP USING THE MICROWAVE. I saw a study where PLANT 1 was being watered with filtered water, PLANT 2 was being watered with microwaved water. Can you guess which one died??!?! DING DING DING, PLANT 2. To dumb it down- it’s basically killing all of the nutrients in your food. The second I moved into my apartment, I took the microwave off the wall and tossed it out the window. (JK it’s in our storage unit) BUT YOU GET THE POINT. Stop being lazy and heat your food up on the stove or in the oven. I hate cleaning things too but your body will thank you for it later.
