1. She Eats the Same Thing for Every Meal

During her Nylon interview, which took place over the pandemic, she revealed that she was quarantining with a few pals. “Instead of cooking three meals a day, we cook just one big meal and eat it all day long,” she says. Among Lavigne’s go-to meals are roasted chicken with vegetables, slow-cooker chili, and truffle pasta. “I don’t bake,” she deadpans.

2. She Battled Lyme Disease

Avril battled Lyme disease and even penned a song about it. "I was in bed for... two years," she told Billboard, adding that it felt like she was being "gaslighted" and "trapped" by her body. However, she notes that “silver lining of it” -- which involved making her way back to health after years of incapacitation and physical therapy and powerful drugs, is that it gave her a much-needed break from her busy life.

During her interview with Billboard and one with Nylon, the singer sipped on water infused with electrolytes. “The purpose of rehydrating — whether with water or electrolyte-containing beverages — is to pull fluid back into our system so our organs can function properly.

How much to drink and when is dependent on each individual. The general rule of thumb at this point among physicians is to drink to thirst. Although there are guidelines for hydration before, during, and after exercise, look and listen to your body as the best indicator when you need hydration,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. Her Workouts Involve...Cleaning

According to Avril, she burns her calories cleaning, revealing that she is the person in the house who cleans the floors. “I like doing the floors because I think it’s a form of cardio and that I’m working out,” she told Nylon. Considering she is a sk8er girl, it isn’t surprising that skateboarding is also one of her go-tos.

5. She Doesn’t Drink a Lot of Alcohol

While she used to be more of a party girl, Avril claims that her nights are filled with tea drinking for the most part. “I’m not drinking [alcohol] really,” she told Nylon. “I’m trying to stay really healthy because I need to keep my body healthy. I’ve had a couple of beers, but I make a lot of spa water and drink a lot of tea and fresh green juice”

Angelina Jolie is an eternal beauty. So it’s no surprise she’s starring in the new movie, Eternals. At the red carpet premiere for the film yesterday in Los Angeles, she was draped in brown fabric with a silver lip-piece. Read on to see 5 ways Angelina Jolie approaches her health and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Has Worked Out Like This

Jolie’s one time personal trailer has said that "he gets more intensity out of his clients when he has them do three different machines for 15 minutes, rather than the same machine for the same 45 minutes." Says the Mayo Clinic: “High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is not just for the young and healthy. Researchers have found that HIIT can improve health and fitness for just about everyone and has even bigger benefits for older adults. The concept of ‘HIIT’ is pretty simple. You can do anything for 30 seconds or even a couple of minutes. And then, given a chance to catch your breath, you'll be able to do it again. During a HIIT workout, you alternate between exerting a high and low level effort of exercise.”

2. She Has Embraced Early Menopause

“I actually love being in menopause,” Jolie told the Daily Telegraph when she was 40 years old. “I haven’t had a terrible reaction to it, so I’m very fortunate. I feel older, and I feel settled being older. I feel happy that I’ve grown up. I don’t want to be young again.” At the time, she said of then-husband Brad Pitt: “[He] made it very, very clear to me that what he loved and what was a woman to him was somebody who was smart, and capable, and cared about her family, that it’s not about your physical body,” she said. “So I knew through the surgeries that this wasn’t going to be something that made me feel like less of a woman, because my husband wouldn’t let that happen.”

3. She Wrote About Having a Mastectomy

Jolie has the BRCA1 genetic mutation. "The decision to have a mastectomy was not easy," Jolie wrote in the first New York Times essay explaining her decision. "But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer."

4. She Has Done a Mixture of Krav Maga and Muay Thai

Trainer Gunnar Peterson got Jolie ready for some of her action films. "We got her learning a combination of Muay Thai and Krav Maga very early on. We would then pick the moves she was best at and combine them into a sequence," Peterson told SELF. “Krav Maga helps you focus your senses and be more aware of the environment around you. Once you begin training, you’ll learn to tune into your surroundings and be able to evaluate threatening situations. With this newfound perception, you can remove yourself from a potentially hostile situation before it escalates,” says Billy Macagnone, owner of Body Evolution.

5. She Reportedly Has Eaten Ancient Grains

“All types of grains are good sources of complex carbohydrates and some key vitamins and minerals, but whole grains — the healthiest kinds of grains — in particular are an important part of a healthy diet. Grains are naturally high in fiber, helping you feel full and satisfied — which makes it easier to maintain a healthy body weight. Whole grains are also linked to a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers and other health problems,” says the Mayo Clinic.

Avril Lavigne is back on MTV—at the Video Music Awards anyway, appearing last night in a pink, plaid suit by Area that had a crystal bra top, alongside singer Mod Sun. She was there to present Billie Eilish with the Video For Good award.

Lavigne has been open about being a vegetarian since 2007. According to the Daily Mail, a pizzeria in Lavigne’s hometown of Ontario had to take down a sign saying “Home of Avril Lavigne’s Favorite Pizza.” “I don’t eat mushroom or pepperoni anymore,” she says. “Meat’s not so good for you.” Lavigne says she does cheat occasionally. "I cheat sometimes, I eat fast food. But 90% of the time, I’m on a vegan diet."

2. She Has Followed A Macrobiotic Diet

Lavigne also followed a macrobiotic diet that balances her energy. “I take care of myself, I eat right. I can’t be eating stuff that makes me tired." Lavigne’s diet includes tofu, whole grains, and vegetables as staple foods, she has said. "Many experts recommend filling your plate with foods that grow from the ground. Decades of research suggests that the best diet for cancer prevention is all about plants. That means lots of fruits, vegetables and legumes, and little to no meat or other animal products," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Eats All Organic Food on The Road

Back when Lavigne was traveling to perform, she said: “When I’m on tour, I stuff my fridge full with organic food and stick to that." "There is a growing body of evidence that shows some potential health benefits of organic foods when compared with conventionally grown foods," says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Took A Break From Her Career

After her Lyme Disease left her bedridden for two years, Lavigne decided to slow down her career, and put her recordings on hold. “I've really had the time to be able to just be present, instead of being, like, a machine: studio, tour, studio, tour. This is the first break I’ve ever taken since I was 15," she admitted to Hello!.

5. She’s Very Spiritual

Lavigne revealed to People that her spirituality helped her with her health crisis. “I’m a very spiritual person, and I definitely did turn to God during that experience,” she says. Lavigne says that her faith helps her feel grateful for her progress. “When you go through something like that, you realize how fulfilling simple things are — things I could do anymore, like being able to get up in the morning and go to the kitchen and grab a cup of coffee,” she says. “It taught me patience; it taught me being more present. That was a beautiful lesson.”

6. She Turned To Music To Heal Her

Lavigne’s spirituality came through in her songwriting as well. “Music really lifted me up and made me feel better,” she told People. “I was able to take a hard time in my life and make the best out of a circumstance that was I was going through. … At first I didn’t know I was making an album — I just naturally turned to songwriting in a time of healing.”

The actress showed off a few dance moves when she posted an Instagram video of herself running and dancing while working out. She wrote, "Just got my cast off and was so happy I had a dance party with my treadmill. 🙏" According to Harvard Health, "While treadmills may seem boring, they can offer a good alternative for exercise, depending on how you use them," says Dr. Adam Tenforde, with the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. "There is so much more to treadmills than just 'push the button and start walking."

3. She's All About Gracefully Aging

People reports the A-lister doesn't let aging in Hollywood affect her. “I certainly see that I’ve changed. I just try not to dwell on it,” she told the magazine. “Aging happens to every single one of us. Once you accept that it unburdens you.” Yale News states, "Research has shown that older persons who have acquired positive beliefs about old age from their surrounding culture are less likely to develop dementia. This protective effect was found for all participants, as well as among those carrying a gene that puts them at higher risk of developing dementia, a new study led by the Yale School of Public Health has found."

4. She Has a Great Skincare Regime

Pfeiffer has a gorgeous complexion and only uses clean and organic products. She told Oprah Daily, "I’ve been using Sodashi skincare for a very long time. I saw that the ingredients were mostly natural, and they don’t make me break out. I have such reactive skin that if I find something that performs and agrees with me, I stick with it. I haven’t changed what I use on my skin in over ten years. My routine is simple: I cleanse, I moisturize—that’s it." Northwestern Medicine says, "The phrase skin care brings to mind three things: skin cancer, dry skin and a long aisle of beauty products at your local drugstore. But it’s more than a surface-level concern. While a skin care routine may sound like high maintenance, in reality, the steps for healthy skin are not only necessary, they’re easy to implement too. “Investing early in the health of your skin, with regular skin care, will not only better protect it from the harsh effects of winter, but also keep you looking and feeling your best throughout the year,” says Steven Nwe, DO, a dermatologist with Northwestern Medicine. “The key to skin resiliency is knowing your skin and treating it well.”

5. She Loves Being Outdoors and in Nature

Scroll through Pfeiffer's Instagram feed and you'll see plenty of photos of her at the beach, the desert and enjoying the outdoors. The University of Minnesota states, "Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. It may even reduce mortality, according to scientists such as public health researchers Stamatakis and Mitchell. Research done in hospitals, offices, and schools has found that even a simple plant in a room can have a significant impact on stress and anxiety."
