Sophia Bush in Bikini Is “Sunkissed” in Ashlyn Harris’ Arms

Sophia Bush is enjoying the end of summer in her bikini. In a new social media post, the Chicago P.D. star gets cozy with girlfriend Ashlyn Harris while poolside.”Sun-KISSED,” Hariss posted the series of Instagram snaps. How can you stay fit like the 42-year-old actress? Here are her diet and fitness tips.
Avoid Anti-Inflatmmatory Foods
Sophia, who suffered from asthma for many years, understands how important diet can be. She discovered the anti-inflammatory diet once she started working with Dr. Will Cole, a functional medicine expert and the author of The Inflammation Spectrum. “I hate diet culture so much. But working with [Cole] made me realize that continuing to eat the things that are bad for your health isn’t freedom. It’s kind of like being in an abusive relationship,” she told Women’s Health.
Hydrate with Water, Bone Broth, and Coffee
Sophia recommends starting the day with three beverages: a big glass of water, a cup of bone broth, and coffee.”Bone broth helps replenish from the night’s dehydration,” she said. “I keep a brown paper bag in my freezer and if I make an animal product, I put the bones in there to use later,” she told Women’s Health.
Eat Lots of Plantst
Sophia abides by a 50 percent plant-based diet. She tries to eat a lot of high-protein vegetables for her meals. For example, she swaps out chicken for hemp hearts when she eats salad. One of Sophia’s favorite dishes? Rosemary and garlic-stuffed Branzini with some basil and Swiss chard. She also enjoys snacking on seaweed.
Exercise
Sophia makes small chunks of time available for fitness. She devotes 20 minutes of her 30-minute lunch break to doing Pilates. “I would just do like 10 or 20 minutes on my lunch break, and it really started to give me my spinal mobility back,” Bush told Eat This Not That. “I noticed my breath got better. It was definitely decreasing stress at work.”
Box
Sophia recommends boxing. “I love what it does for me mentally and physically. Boxing trains your mind in such a unique way. Plus, it’s great for my job—all of the stunt work I have to do on Chicago P.D. is only enhanced by my ability to do intense physical choreography when I’m boxing regularly. I work out with an amazing trainer in Chicago named Robbie Cole. He’s a scrappy English guy who kicks my ass, and we also laugh a ton while we train. I’m also trying to do more yoga—I feel like I’m always saying that, but it’s true!—because flexibility is key to strength,” she told Stylecaster.
