1. She Trained Hard

Ella trained for Army of the Dead. “I went to the gym and did boxing lessons with my stepdad, but I’m just not that way inclined. I’ve got the upper-body strength of a spoon and I’m not very coordinated. I’d get told off because if I try to look cool, I’m doing something else weird with my limbs. When I was running, if I’m holding my gun with one hand, I’m doing gun hands with the other [laughs]. We spent time with these two nice ex-army dudes. They taught us how to shoot, move as a team and have each other’s backs,” she told Vogue. (The movie will also be the basis of an upcoming TV series.)

2. She Hits the Gym

“Working out with mama!,” she once captioned a gym photo. “We know that physical exercise, and aerobic exercise in particular, is very beneficial for maintaining brain health, even in people who are at risk for developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD),” neuropsychologist Aaron Bonner-Jackson, PhD tells the Cleveland Clinic. “You can make a major difference in terms of how your body is functioning and, as a result, how your brain is functioning.”

3. She Reflected During Lockdown

This is what keps her going through lockdown: “White chocolate and raspberry muffins!,” she told Vogue with a laugh. “I was based in Los Angeles for the majority of lockdown. I was reading through my journal a couple of nights ago, and I was like, ‘Wow!’ I grew up. A lot of stuff went down in my personal life and I had to find hobbies. I’ve been working since I was nine years old. I feel like I was sort of deficient in other parts of my life. My relationships got stronger. I discovered that I love plants, painting and writing poetry. I went camping for a month in California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. I learned a lot about myself and overcame some demons,” she told Vogue.

4. She Had Anxiety in the Past

“I have anxiety and have had depression in the past,” she told the Standard. “When I was 15 or 16 I had a bad experience at school — some issues with other classmates and somebody I was seeing, we don’t need to go into it. I started self-harming and did that for a long time until my mum caught me and I started to learn about it [mental health]. I thought depression was something you could only have if your parents died, or you were really ill and about to jump off the bridge. I certainly didn’t feel comfortable enough to talk about it then. Had this happened to me now I’d feel able to say, ‘Mum, I need to take some time off school,’ or, ‘Mum, I am suffering with this thing.’”

5. She Raises Awareness for Mental Health Issues

“I still have the scars,” she told the Standard, “and it’s something that I did that I will always regret: it hurt a lot of people around me and it’s on my body forever. It’s something I never felt comfortable talking about before, but I have decided I am going to start working with mental health charities this year. Because through opening up about my own experiences I can start conversations and make other people feel less alone and less guilty.”

1. She’s Admitted To Having Plastic Surgery

Bedford is open about the fact that she’s had work done. She tells Closer Online that she doesn’t think this is a bad thing to admit. "It’s not something to be ashamed of, so many people have it done. It doesn’t have to be a big secret, it was the best decision I ever made, it brought my confidence in bikinis up, in everything really.” "Anticipate improvement, not perfection. If you expect cosmetic surgery to turn you into a movie star, you're bound to be disappointed. Don't count on surgery to save a rocky relationship, gain a promotion or improve your social life," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Got Her Work Done Healthily

Bedford encourages her followers to get work done, if it will make them feel better. She also encouraged her followers to get safe work done. She tells Closer Online, "My two insecurities were my" chest "and my teeth and I saved up and did my research." "If you decide to pursue cosmetic surgery, you'll probably have your choice of surgeons. Choose one who specializes in the procedure you'd like to have done and is certified in the specialty by a board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Beware of misleading certifications from unrecognized or self-designated boards," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Uses Meal Preps

In this video from her YouTube channel, Bedford broke down her daily secrets, and revealed some of her diet and wellness secrets.

I get like two meals a day.” Bedford says this helps with her busy schedule, and helps her not skip meals.

4. She Tracks Her Food

In this YouTube video, Bedford broke down what she typically eats each day. She also revealed some of her diet secrets. One thing she likes to do is track what she eats. “I also do use MyFitnessPal to track all my foods because it’s just easy,” she says. When using a tracker: "

• "Use the tracker to get a baseline of your daily movement and then set a goal 2,000-3,000 steps higher.
• Use it as a motivational tool to encourage movement and as a historical record. If you have a bad day, you can look back and see that it was only one day among many good days. This perspective may keep you from falling off the wagon because of 'all or nothing' thinking.
• Use the information from the tracker as a guide but not as permission to throw dietary discretion out the window," says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Goes To The Beach and Pool

Bedford is always breaking out her swimsuits. She is a big fan of either going to the beach or the pool, and has posted several photos of herself doing so on Instagram.

It was the first time I had ever been there – it was so exciting. I had my makeup done at Bobbi Brown by a really nice man, who made me look pretty and said, 'Darling, he’s not worth it!'” she told Get the Gloss.

It is one the highest-fat plant foods, making it a popular inclusion in vegan and vegetarian diets.
