Erin Moriarty is cheersing – with her coffee. In a new social media post The Boys star shows off her fit figure in workout clothes. “cheers to the years that knock us onto our asses: I promise, what you think is scar tissue is actually a callus. (the next time someone/life pours concrete onto you when you’re down; thank them bc you’re about to be mentally #swoleAF),” she captioned the post. How does the star approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Ice Cream

During a Happy Hour Q&A with Karen Fukuhara Erin reveals that she has a “massive sweet tooth.” Her favorite treat? “I like local artisanal ice cream, like really good ice cream. And I don't like gelato. I like ice cream that's chunky, like the cookie dough or almond brittle or like anything that's got chunks in it,” she said. I'm down. “I always get sprinkles if they have it. And I get it on a cone like a child. And I love it. And that's my favorite. I eat dessert every single night.”
2. Wine

She also reveals in the interview that she loves wine. “Red wine, in moderation, has long been thought of as heart healthy,” says the Mayo Clinic. “The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent coronary artery disease, the condition that leads to heart attacks.” While red wine is slightly healthier than white, the lighter shade of vino generally has fewer calories than the darker shade.
3. Bagel Breakfast Sandwich

During part 2 of the interview Erin reveals that she loves a breakfast sandwich – deconstructed. “There's this brunch spot that I love and it's in Toronto and it's my favorite brunch ever. They make it homemade, so it's like a buttered bagel classic. And they make it homemade and scrambled eggs, bacon, avocado, just simple,” she says. “It's basically a deconstructed breakfast bagel sandwich. And I'm from New York City. Yeah. So I've got a soft place for bagels.”
4. Walking Her Dogs

Erin, a dog lover, can be found carrying or walking her canines. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
5. Coffee

Being from New York City “obviously like a really strong coffee,” Erin says in the interview. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
