Hurley is a big fan of eating natural food and vegetables. She says to The Cut that she likes to garden and grow her own food. "All through summer we eat fruit and vegetables from my own garden.

5. She Works Out Reguarly

While Hurley doesn’t work out too hard, she does do so on a regular basis. “I walk every day with my dogs and try to run — even though I hate running,” Hurley told the Telegraph. “ I love Pilates and yoga but don’t do them regularly. I am extremely active, though, and don’t sit still for long.”

Hurley makes sure to stay in shape. However, she doesn’t like to do traditional exercise. She opts for more non-traditional forms of movement. Specifically, the actress loves to garden. "The most relaxed I can ever be is if I go out into my yard and do some gardening," she tells E! News. "When I'm working in the yard, I'm stretching, I'm bending and I find that's good for both my mind and body.”

2. She Walks

Hurley likes to do a lot of outdoor activities. She tells E! News that one of her favorite things to do is go on walks. "I don't like so much to go to the gym, but I like to go for really long walks," she continued, "It's almost always about going outside."

3. She Lives A Healthy Lifestyle

For Hurley, wellness means doing a lot of different things. She says that she enjoys being healthy, and that this helps her stay consistent. "Your skin is more likely to glow when you're eating well and doing exercise than if you're lying on the couch, watching TV and eating chips," she said to E! News. "If I put myself in a healthy frame of mind, my hair suddenly looks better, my skin looks better."

4. She Promotes Breast Cancer Checks

Hurley is a spokeswoman for the Estee Lauder breast cancer campaign. She tells E! News that she wants to encourage other women to get themselves checked. "A girlfriend of mine said she saw my Instagram post for the breast cancer campaign, telling women if they couldn't get to their doctor to self-check," she says. "She self-checked and found a lump. She was only in her early 40s. She went to the doctor and had cancer. But thanks to our messaging and thanks to her checking her own breasts, she's fine. She received treatment and she's in remission. When you realize that something as simple as an Instagram post can make a difference in someone's life, it's very moving."

5. She Keeps Her Skin Moisturized

Hurley has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. One of her biggest secrets is keeping her skin moisturized. Hurley stressed the importance of this to Us Weekly. “As you get older your skin gets drier and you have to use more moisturizer, more eye cream, more body cream, more elbow cream, everything! I think moisture, moisture, moisture is the most important thing.”

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…”

“From a beauty point of view, I would say moisturize a lot!” Elizabeth recently told HollywoodLife when asked about her best beauty tips. “Moisturizer, eye creams, hand creams, body cream. Our skin gets drier as we get older, and it’s very important to stay hydrated on the outside.” She emphasized that staying hydrated “on the inside” is also crucial. “You have to drink a lot of water and probably, don’t really, drink much alcohol. I’ve virtually given it up completely.”

2. She Gets Outside

Hurley loves spending time al fresco. “Get fresh air!” she told HollywoodLife about another one of her tips. “I think fresh air is one of the most important things you can do at any age.” She manages to stay active outdoors, spending a lot of time on the beach in her swimsuits.

Hurley maintains that doing chores is her preferred method of blasting calories. Her favorites? Gardening, which she does all year long, logging, and raking 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." Basically: "I'd rather do housework than go to the gym. I'd rather scrub a mirror—it does just as much."
