1. She Eats Natural Foods

"I like simple, natural, easy food. I don’t really like food with a lot of chemicals or additives," Elizabeth told The Cut. "When I’m at home in the country, I always try and eat food that’s grown locally. That goes for meats and vegetables."

2. How She Likes to Sweat

“I don’t do any regulated exercise, but I’m very active. On the weekends I go for long hikes with my dogs. I try and stretch every day. I do the occasional yoga or Pilates class, but mostly it’s just self-exercise at home. I might do some stomach exercises or some bottom or arm exercises, but because I trained for a dancer when I was young, I sort of know all the exercises. I find it very hard for my schedule to regularly go anywhere else. It works very well for me,” she told the Cut.

3. How She Stays Healthy Emotionally

“I find watching the news and talking to my friends keeps me healthy emotionally because you realize that there are really terrible things happening sometimes and it makes you feel grateful for what you have. If you hear that someone is sick, you appreciate your health. If you hear something bad happened to someone, you’re glad it didn’t happen to you or your loved ones. There are many ways to appreciate what you’ve got,” she told the Cut.

"I haven’t eaten processed food for 100 years," the star told U.K.’s Sunday Times. "I don’t eat sweets. I drink little alcohol. I don’t smoke but I deeply regret that I once did. I have learned to eat lighter and not so late." She added: "I think one of the most transformative things that I’ve done is making 50 percent of what I eat vegetable matter," Hurley continued. "If you have a slice of toast for breakfast, have an apple too. Counteract everything with vegetables,” according to Fox News.

5. She Has Her Own Swimsuit Line

Elizabeth Hurley Beach was launched in 2005. "I decided to venture into beachwear not only because I’ve always been obsessed with vacation clothes, but also because it’s an area where women, regardless of shape or size, can either look amazing or really get it wrong. I wanted to develop resort collections, which make women feel fabulous at any age," she announced on the company’s site.

Actress Elizabeth Hurley went from being a model to an actress to, now, beauty icon. She posts a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in a swimsuit.

1. She Gardens

Hurley loves to garden. She tells The Sunday Times that this is one of the things she does for self-care. “I don't really like bars and I don't meditate and I don't really like massages and I don't really like manicures. But what I do like is I like to go outside and I like to do really violent gardening to relax. I go out with the chainsaw, I go out with my hedge trimmers and that's what I like to do. And then I find relaxes more than anything in the world. And I love it.

2. She Raises Awareness About Breast Cancer

A cause that Hurley is passionate about is breast cancer. She tells Extra that she wants to let people know about treatments and give them support. “I point out to them that in the years since we've been going, since the nineties, everything has improved. Diagnosis, preventative treatments, it's all improved. So I would just say to people, you have to have hope. You really, really have to have hope. You have to do what your doctor tells you. You have to lead a healthy lifestyle.”

3. She Has No Time For Haters

Hurley opened up about how she feels about negative criticism to Extra. Hurley says that she has no time for this. “People are mean to women,” she says. “I don't think, I don't think it's how people should be. So I can't say I'm a fan of those sorts of comments really.”

4. She’s Consistent With Exercises

Hurley tells Access Hollywood about how she approaches exercise. “If you like food, like I like food, you just have to be super active. When I had nine people locked down in my house with me, we were super active and we found we could eat an awful lot and we all really firmed up just through activity. No exercise, just doing stuff.”

5. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Hurley has amazing skin. She revealed some of her secrets to Today.com. “I have one serum I use all the time. You need to look after your skin. You need to look after your health. If you want to glow from the inside, you have to be healthy. You have to watch your diet. You have to watch your lifestyle. You have to get enough sleep."

1. She Recently Went to a Health Resort

After an ankle injury, Elizabeth went to the Viva Mayr Medical Health Resort by Lake Wörthersee. “I tore the ligaments in my left ankle whilst filming in the Caribbean in November. Lying on the sofa for two months, followed by a month of limping around in an air boot, meant that I basically became a slug,” she captioned some photos. “I don’t weigh myself but my jeans were objecting violently to being done up so something had to be done…Still not really able to put much pressure on my foot, meaning not much exercise, and a new movie looming, I decided to return to @vivamayrmariawoerth – a wellness spa in Austria. I’m here now and shall report back! ❤️”

2. She Ate Clean Veggies

“I think I’m glad to be here,” Hurley captioned an image of the food at the Viva Mayr Medical Health Resort, which appeared to be some cleanly steamed broccoli and carrots and a broth. “Besides being a good source of folate, broccoli also contains phytonutrients. Broccoli is also an excellent source of vitamin C — an antioxidant that protects your body's cells from damage. It is also an excellent source of vitamin A and is linked to preserving eye health,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Tries to Eat Local

Elizabeth prefers local foods when at home. "Using local foods inspires me to prepare healthy, plant-based meals. I also feel good about supporting people in our community who make their living on the land. It's a win-win,” Jennifer Nelson, RDN, LD, tells the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Prefers Housework to the Gym

Hurley would rather work up a sweat scrubbing a mirror or raking leaves than be stuck in some windowless gym. Chores actually can count as a workout. “Housework can do double duty if you can get your heart rate up. Mowing, shoveling and gardening count too,” says the Mayo Clinic. Or walk. “Stroll around your neighborhood or through the mall. Park at the back of the parking lot. Choose the stairs.”

5. She is in the Fight to End Breast Cancer

“When my grandmother lost her life to breast cancer in the early 90’s, nobody spoke openly about this disease. Times have changed, but people are still dying. Today, our call to help end breast cancer for all is more urgent than ever as breast cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide,” Elizabeth once wrote. “Whether you’re a patient, family or friend, thriver, doctor, or advocate, I hope you’ll join me in helping fund lifesaving breast cancer research…”

Elizabeth Hurley in a bathing suit says "let the sunshine in." Her swimwear line Elizabeth Hurley Beach allows her the opportunity to show off her latest looks, and this weekend was no exception. "It’s all about the 💛💛💛," commented William Moseley. "Stunner 😍," said Alexandra Park. How does she stay so fit?

1. She Encourages People To Screen For Cancer

Hurley is the face of Estee Lauder’s breast cancer campaign, as this cause is very important to her. She made an Instagram post for the cause, and explained her reasons behind her passions. "When my grandmother lost her life to breast cancer in the early 90’s, nobody spoke openly about this disease," she wrote. "Times have changed, but people are still dying. Today, our call to help end breast cancer for all is more urgent than ever as breast cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide.”

2. She Rakes Leaves

Hurley tells Women’s Health that one way she likes to stay in shape is by doing housework. One thing she likes to do in particular is rake leaves. "Not only do I feel, well, actually exhausted, but also I feel that I've got the leaves up, which is also a nice thing,” she says. “I’d rather do housework than go to the gym.”

3. She Looked At Her Mental Health

For Hurley, the pandemic was a time to really examine her mental health. And she made some revelations. "It made me realize that I'd been in fight or flight mode for 30-odd years," she tells Women's Health. "I'm not very relaxed, as a person, in any case, but I have to say I became more so during lockdown."

4. She Made Time For Herself

Hurley also told Women’s Health that the pandemic helped her relax in terms of her career. She says that it helped her to clear out her schedule and make time for herself. "I really valued making myself sit still for a bit," she says, "I always used to feel a bit guilty because I knew I had stuff in my inbox, and I knew I should be fixing it."

5. She Eats Natural Food

When it comes to her diet, Hurley loves to eat health. “I like simple, natural, easy food. I don’t really like food with a lot of chemicals or additives," Hurley told The Cut. "When I’m at home in the country, I always try and eat food that’s grown locally. That goes for meats and vegetables." She says that she even will grow her own food in her garden.
