1. She Uses Sunblock

Longoria has amazing skin. She has been a spokesperson for several different skin and beauty brands. She shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview with Prevention.com. “First and foremost, I’m a big sunblock user,” she says. “If you’re talking about skincare you have to use sunblock.” "Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S. Daily use of sunscreen that is SPF 15 or higher can reduce your risk of skin cancer. You can slash your risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, by 50%. And you can decrease the risk of the most common skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, by 40%," says the Cleveland Clinic.

2. She Doesn’t Get Facials

While some people might think facials are healthy, Longoria is not one of them. She explained to Prevention.com. “A lot of the time people think facials are so relaxing, but they’re not. They’re painful, they sting...you could do a peel, you could do extractions. I hate going to get a facial because it’s like tugging and pulling and peeling and things but it’s necessary.”

After her divorce, Longoria struggled with her health, which led to her losing a lot of weight. "I was so thin, and everyone kept saying how great I looked and it was probably the most unhealthy place I've ever been," Longoria told Health. Now, Longoria says that she doesn’t focus on her looks, and aims to live as healthily as she can. "In my worst time, people were saying I've never looked better. But now I have a great diet and exercise routine and I try to have a healthy outlook."

Longoria is a great cook, and she says that she loves to cook with veggies. "I could easily be a vegetarian because I love vegetables so much," Longoria told InStyle. "I love cooking with vegetables and I have a secret for cooking with vegetables, which is that they don't need a lot. A lot of people cover them in cheese or cover them in a sauce, and vegetables really only need olive oil."

“I’m very thankful to my body. We’re so hard on our bodies as women, like ‘I am so fat, look at this, I wish my arms didn’t droop, I wish my jeans fit better, lalala,’ and I think when your body hears that negativity, it could be toxic. Words create emotional poison, so be sure to thank your body. Be grateful to your body. Especially after I had my baby. I was in no rush to workout. I was in no rush to get back into shape. I was like, ‘Thank you so much body for creating the love of my life,’” she told SheKnows.

2. She Works Out For Her Mental Health

“Instead of letting tensions build, Psychologist Kia-Rai Prewitt, PhD suggests taking several five- to 10-minute breaks throughout your day to help relieve stress, depression or anxiety. You can do this by taking a five-minute walk around the block, doing a 10-minute meditation or practicing a guided imagery exercise,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Even standing once every hour for a few minutes can help with circulation,” says Dr. Prewitt. “If you’re giving yourself these little breaks throughout the day, I think it can help sustain your energy and contribute to a more positive attitude.”

3. She Has Done a 21-Day Meditation

Eva once did a ​​21-day guided meditation with friends. “You write down your thoughts and it’s so great, because when you do it with your tribe, it’s better; you can be more accountable,” she told Women’s Health. “The practice of meditation is thousands of years old, and different forms come from around the world. But modern science has only started studying this practice in detail during the last few decades. Some of the biggest leaps in science’s understanding of meditation have only been possible thanks to modern technology,” says the Cleveland Clinic.

4. She Trampolines

On Ellen, the host said she did puzzles during the quarantine. Eva said: “I was puzzling too. I’m obsessed with puzzles. My husband hates them. It gives him anxiety. He’s like, ‘Get these things off the table.’ I’m like, 'No, I already did the edges!’” “There are many things that you can do to keep your brain in shape, such as doing crossword puzzles or Sudoku, reading, playing cards or putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Consider it cross-training your brain. So incorporate different activities to increase the effectiveness,” says the Mayo Clinic.

No day is the same," she said about meals during the pandemic. “If you have heart disease or high cholesterol, be cautious about the number of egg yolks you consume, and take into account all the other forms of saturated fat (red meat, beef, pork, veal and lamb, poultry skin, whole-milk dairy or full-fat cheese) in your diet,” preventive cardiology dietitian Julia Zumpano, RD, LD tells the Cleveland Clinic. “Setting a limit of four egg yolks per week is recommended.”

Eva’s wellness shot that she swears by consists of an orange, ginger, lemon, honey, lime, turmeric, and cayenne. "Take the skin off all ingredients," she says.

It's probably not a wellness shot if we add tequila," Longoria said.
