How Eva Longoria Stays in Incredible Shape at 50
Eva Longoria is an extremely successful actress, director, producer, and businesswoman. She's also considered one of the most beautiful women on the planet. Eva hasn't seemed to age a bit since her days on the ABC series, Desperate Housewives. Her secret? A solid wellness routine. Here are some habits Eva Longoria swears by to stay radiant, youthful, and fit.
She's "Always Been an Exerciser"
Eva makes exercise a part of her regular routine.
"I've always been an exerciser," the celeb told TODAY.com. "It gives me energy. I don't really do it for vain reasons, I do it for my mental health. I was an aerobics instructor in college, I was a trainer. My degree is in kinesiology, so it's just been part of my lifestyle. It's not something that I do, it's part of my life."
Even amid her hectic schedule, the actress carves out 30 minutes to a full hour to work out.
She Believes in Moderation and Gravitates Toward Healthy Foods
The Desperate Housewives star doesn't follow a super strict diet, but rather practices moderation.
"I don't think I live by any hard and fast rules of restriction. I think it's just moderation and just common sense," she said. "I'm lucky that I gravitate to healthy things. I love fish and vegetables. I love chicken and vegetables. I love beef and vegetables."

She Lifts Weights
As if all that wasn't impressive enough, Eva incorporates weights into her fitness routine.
She told Women's Health, "I do very heavy weights. I feel like my body changes the most when I do that—I wear a heart rate monitor, and I can see my heart rate spike from just doing a heavy bicep curl."
She Limits Her Wine
Eva limits her wine consumption in order to get uninterrupted beauty rest.
"I never used to feel a sugar rush when I would drink wine," she told Women's Health. "But one day, Gloria Estefan told me she can't drink wine because she wakes up at 4 a.m. The day she told me that, it started happening to me. I was like, 'Damn you, Gloria!'"
