Ellen DeGeneres’s Secrets For Staying Healthy and Happy
From Fit Sugar
You would never know that Ellen DeGeneres turned 53 this year. The talk show queen, who is a loving wife to Portia DeGeneres and also one of the faces of CoverGirl, says her new healthy lifestyle — which consists of daily yoga and veganism — keeps her looking and feeling her best. Here are five key pieces to Ellen’s radiant glow and overall wellness. Talk about being a role model!
She Practices Yoga Daily
Last year Ellen told Shape magazine that she’ll opt for a daily morning yoga practice rather than snack on unhealthy treats. She said, “I first started doing power yoga in L.A., which really makes no sense. Power yoga? It’s the opposite of what it should be. Yoga should calm you down!” Ellen says her “yogi” (aka — yoga instructor), leads her though 60-90 minutes of poses to calm her down before her hectic day begins.
She Loves to Dance
At the beginning of every one of her shows, Ellen always makes sure to get her groove on. And who can forget this memorable dance number? Dancing is not only good for your body, but your mind as well — so go Ellen, go!
Ellen Is Vegan
Back in 2009, Ellen and her wife, Portia DeGeneres decided to become vegan because of their love for animals. Here’s what she told Shape about her diet change: “Food used to be really important to me. I loved steak, I loved hamburgers, I loved all that stuff. I can’t believe how irresponsible I was, eating what I ate . . . I want to be on my toes; I want to have energy. And as much as the [vegan] diet seems like a sacrifice, it’s helping me.”
She Is Always Laughing
Ellen is always smiling and making people laugh. I love how she is all about having fun and cracking jokes — did you see this funny prank she pulled on a co-worker?
Laughter is certainly the best medicine because we actually change physiologically when we laugh. Our muscles stretch and our pulse and blood pressure go up, which sends more oxygen to our tissues.
She Stopped Eating Sugar
Eating too much sugar does not do a body good. Earlier last year, Ellen announced on her show that she was going sugar free for the remainder of the season in hopes that it would provide her with extra energy for her then new American Idol gig. Here she is discussing her motivation for going on a sugar-tox.
