GenInv – Health and Wellness

I always said if I had a personal trainer and personal chef I could look as good as some of these celebrity starlets do everyday (body wise). Celebrities are the epitome of appearance. They are constantly under the spotlight in regards to the bodies, clothes, hairstyle and every other aspect of their lives. We hold celebrities to a much higher standard than we do ourselves, probably because they get paid to look that good.  When celebrities are in the limelight they can’t afford to not

look good or else they will get scrutinized publicly. That is why celebrities work so hard to make sure they look good no matter what.

Just like us celebrities have their lists of dos and don’ts. They have little rituals, secrets, and agendas that keep them up to par everyday. Some celebrities have extreme workouts or well-planned diets. You can follow some of these extreme regimens and look just as good as they do. Take some secrets from the top women in movies (Gwyneth Paltrow), TV (Jennif

er Aniston), music (Madonna), fashion (Claudia Schiffer) and talk shows (Oprah). Here are some of the celebrity secrets that everyone wants to know.

›› Jennifer Aniston-

Over the years Jennifer Aniston has mesmerized audiences with her charm, her hairstyle and her sexy body. Jennifer has always maintained her trendy style and trim figure. Jennifer stays so fit because she follows the 40:30:30 diet method. The way this diet works is she takes in 40% low glycemic carbohydrates, 30

% lean proteins, and 30% essential fats. Low glycemic carbohydrates such as beans, fruits and vegetables and legumes ensure that the body breaks it down and uses the  carbohydrates instead of storing them in the body. Lean protein such as tofu, fish, chicken, turkey, beef and low fat dairy products is a necessary part of her diet to maintain and build muscle. Essential fats are found in nuts, seeds, fish and olive oil. These fats are essential for a healthy overall body function. It is crucial that every meal contain macronutrients from each group. This is to balance the body’s hormones for maximum weight loss.
