The secrets to eternal youth shared by Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon
The Morning Show stars swear by green juice and intermittent fasting to stay healthy
Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon still look just as gorgeous as when their acting careers first took off during the 1990s, and its a beauty that isn’t based in on dramatically altering their external appearance, but on routines that work on the body form the inside.
Jen and Reese, who had major chemistry as Rachel and Jill Green on the hit sitcom Friends are back working together on The Morning Show. And they have another thing in common: two main habits when it comes to staying healthy and looking radiant.
1) GREEN JUICE
Both stars swear by regularly drinking natural green juices. Adding green juice to your diet can be very beneficial; they owe their name to the fact that they primarily contain vegetables, meaning they are filled with chlorophyll, which helps to keep the blood oxygenated. It’s important to mix seasonal fruits with a variety of green – for example, one delicious combo iscucumber, celery, and apple. All you need is half a glass of water, 3 sticks of celery, half a cucumber, and 1 green apple. This drink has antioxidant properties and very few calories, but it provides a huge amount of vitamins and minerals.
2) INTERMITTENT FASTING
Fasting in intervals, know as “intermittent fasting” (IF), is based on the customs of our ancestors, who spent periods of time without eating. According to the promoters of this technique, the human body is designed to go for hours without food in order to optimize digestion and physical performance, and eating in excess is the cause of a wide variety of health problems.
There are different ways of fasting: one in which you eat normally for five days and then fast for two days straight. These two actresses, however, follow “16:8 fasting,” where you fast for 16 consecutive hours with an 8-hour window in which you can eat. “I do intermittent fasting, so no food in the morning,” Jennifer told the Radio Times. “I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours.”
Remember that any change in diet should first be consulted with your doctor or nutritionist. According to a study published in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, diets based on good habits are beneficial and allow you not only to lose weight but also to keep it off. So, if you want to maintain your ideal weight, you should adopt a clean eating plan and include exercise in your daily routine.
