"Indeed, based on the current knowledge and evidence, sauna bathing may have beneficial effects and has therapeutic potential to reduce the risk of adverse health outcomes in the general population.

1. She Worked With A Nutritionist

Her Nutritionist, Dr Philip Goglia, explained the importance of bridge meals and between meals snacking on healthy options. "The purpose of a bridge meal is to get to lunch so that you don't overeat lunch," Dr Goglia said. "You're using fat metabolism and that will be your bridge meal to get to dinner so that dinner is an appetite environment that will not allow you to crave carbs because you've already eaten… you're kind of full. You're not in low blood sugar."

2. She Connects Her Workouts To Her Character

When she got the Marvel role, Bri did a lot of strength training to connect with her character. "A huge part of [Captain Marvel] is her strength," Brie said. "I knew if I could go through that experience, I would get closer to her and I'd understand [her]."

3. She Believes Everything In Moderation

In moderation, fat and sugar don't always need to be bad. "The most recent science has shown that a little bit of fat and a little bit of simple sugar will actually increase intensity rate while you train early in the morning… and allow you to still continue to train and burn fat," Goglia said. "That really does start your engine for you."

4. She Does Resistance Training

Brie Larson works hard to strengthen and tone her muscles. She works her entire body through resistance training to also help improve endurance. "One strength training tip: Don't forget to breathe freely when you're lifting the weight. Most people think that they're breathing when they're doing strength training exercises, but they may be holding their breath. It's important to inhale and exhale fully between each repetition. The key is to avoid straining when holding your breath. You may find it helpful to exhale during the more strenuous phase of the exercise and inhale during the less strenuous phase," says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Works On Her Balance

Brie Larson knows the importance of working on your balance, especially when training for a role like Captain Marvel. She stuck to a pretty strict diet majority of the time, but once in a while would allow herself a donut or a cookie. "We focus on a Mediterranean-style diet of eating for optimum heart health. The Mediterranean diet is abundant in fruits and vegetables, grains, fish, extra virgin olive oil, nuts, and seeds. Starting off with eating more meatless meals will definitely get you closer to heart health. Incorporating beans, legumes, any kind of nuts and seeds, and meatless products like tofu, tempeh, if you want to get adventurous into your diet a little more regularly. I generally say start with one meatless meal a week, replacing a meal of meat, ideally red meat, with a meatless meal," says Julia Zumpano RD, LD Preventive Cardiology, to the Cleveland Clinic.

Brie Larson is an extremely successful actress. She first came into prominence with the film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Larson received acclaim for her role in Room, which earned her an Oscar. She is currently playing Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Larson shared a new set of photos on Instagram this week. In them, she cooked and wore workout gear. She captioned the post, “In my wholesome homebody era.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Brie Larson stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Ate Bridge Meals

Larson worked with Dr. Phillip Goglia to help her eat better. In an interview with People, Dr. Goglia revealed that he had Larson eat bridge meals. “You’re using fat metabolism and that will be your bridge meal to get to dinner so that dinner is an appetite environment that will not allow you to crave carbs because you’ve already eaten … you’re kind of full. You’re not in low blood sugar.”

2. She Worked With A Trainer

Larson worked with trainer, Jason Walsh, to help her prep for her Marvel projects. “When she got back from Avengers, it was game on,” Walsh said to Men’s Journal. “We got deep into heavy progression, doing two-a-days, four days a week, sometimes five days a week unless Brie was feeling destroyed. She did the work—nutrition, recovery, sleep—everything required of her. The whole process took nine months of training, and we focused in on a number of key moves, including hip thrusts, which was a staple of our workouts.”

3. She Circuit Trained

Walsh told Men’s Journal that he did circuit training with Larson. “We’d go from mobility into activation work, which we considered a warmup, then into the primary strength exercises,” Walsh says. “That could be a squat aspect, bilateral exercises, unilateral moves, hip-hinge work, and a lot of hip thrusting and posterior chain work to fire up and support the spine. Then we'd do circuits of secondary exercises—basically everything other than those primary moves—and make sure her joints were supported and muscles were activated throughout the workout.”

4. She Scuba Dives

In an essay for Allure, Larson talked about her life, career, and what she’s picked up. “I started scuba diving, and that became a whole new revelation as to how I get in and out of characters. You can't just dive into the ocean. You have to have a plan. You have to understand the process of going down and then the process of coming back up, and you have to allow air for that.

5. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Larson shared her skincare secrets with Allure. “To wash my face, I might use coconut or olive oil. When I used to travel and do pressers and things and I didn't want to bring tons of products, I would just ask the hotel for olive oil. Oil my face, hot towel. [I found out about cosmetics brand] Decorté over a year ago when they just sent products and asked me to try them out. I really liked them, and it seemed that we both liked each other, and so they asked me to come on board and be this ‘brand muse,’ which is surreal for me. I just never thought that I would be the face of a beauty brand.”
