She Drinks Hot Water in the AM
Elizabeth told The Cut that the first thing in the day she does is sip on a cup of hot water. "I often put apple cider vinegar in my hot water. It tastes disgusting. I can't face it every day, so I'll put it in my hot water maybe every other day. It's good for your metabolism," she said.
She Eats Heavier Meals Earlier in the Day
Elizabeth eats bigger meals for breakfast and lunch but goes light in the evening. "I rarely skip breakfast and always eat lunch but the lighter my evening meal the better," she told Healthy Living.
She Avoids Processed Food
Elizabeth avoids junk processed foods. "I really try to go out of my way to eat an apple for a snack instead of a cookie," she told Healthy Living, adding that "processed and junk foods" are on her do not eat list.
She Eats As Natural as Possible
"I like simple, natural, easy food. I don't really like food with a lot of chemicals or additives. 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 revealed to The Cut. "If I can grow it myself, I'm even happier. All through summer we eat fruit and vegetables from my own garden. I used to have a small organic farm, and all the meat my son ate was from the farm. Obviously that's not possible for most people, but supporting local farmers wherever you live is a good thing." She has even started making her own food: "Lockdown has turned me into a demented housewife: 47 jars of marmalade nestling in my larder with more Seville oranges awaiting me"
She Avoids Alcohol
Hurley tries to keep vices at bay. "You can't look good if you're not healthy, and diet plays a big part. You can't smoke and have too much alcohol," she explained to The Cut.
She Doesn't Exercise, She Stays Active
In 2019, Elizabeth explained to Harper's Bazaar that formal workouts aren't on her agenda. "I don't exercise, but I am very active," she admitted. "I believe in gentle exercise and lots of it," she previously told Us Weekly. "So I believe in being active, going for walks, stretching, maybe a little yoga or a little Pilates. But I don't like high impact, high energy sports. I don't actually think they do you much good. As long as you get your heart rate to the rate you need it to get, which is a fast walk. But you need to do a bit of it."
She Does Count Steps
One thing she does? Track her activity. "I walk every day, so I try and hit my 10,000 steps a day and I do some stretching every day," she told Us. "And then sometimes I do a bit more, but that's enough for me really."
