1. She Still Indulges

Paltrow says that she eats a pretty healthy diet. However, she told Women’s Health that she isn’t afraid to indulge once in a while. In fact, she thinks it’s good for her. “You want deliciousness, you want a fun life—pleasure! You're going to have a baguette-and-cheese-and-red-wine frenzy sometimes—but you want it to be a choice you're awake to: ‘I know this might not make me feel great, but today I'm choosing it anyway.’"

2. She Loves Goat Milk

Paltrow has to try a lot of things for her website, Goop. One thing she tried, and enjoyed, was goat’s milk. She tells Shape, "I just tried a goat milk cleanse for eight days to rid my system of parasites. That was really interesting. It's only goat's milk and herbs. The theory is that we all have parasites, and they love the milk protein. So if you eat nothing else, they all come out of the intestinal wall and then you kill them with the herbs. I had to try it for Goop, but I felt so good after it."

3. She Takes Supplements

Paltrow tells Women’s Health that she likes to take supplements each day. “I believe the combination of toxic load, the modern environment, and nutritional deficiency makes our bodies more vulnerable to breaking down,” she explains. “There are so many options for vitamins out there."

4. She Gets Enough Sleep

Paltrow prioritizes her beauty sleep. In a piece for DailyMail, the actress wrote, "Sleep plays such a powerful role in determining your appetite and energy levels that I believe it should be your first priority—even before you think about your diet," she said. "Call it vanity, call it health, but I know there's a huge correlation between how I feel and what I look like when I roll out of bed in the morning."

5. She Uses A Sauna

Despite Paltrow’s busy schedule, she still has time for self-care. She revealed some of her favorite ways to wind down to Shape. “I love to take an infrared sauna,” she says. “It's really detoxifying. It's a real gift to myself."

Actress and lifestyle maven Gwyneth Paltrow rang in the new year with her family. And they decided to spend some time by the water. Paltrow shared some highlights in a recent Instagram post. In one photo, Paltrow lounged on a hammock over the water. She wore a black bathing suit, showing off her figure. She captioned the post, “Wrapped up 2022 with a lot of heart and a little bit of waves.” How does she stay so fit?

1. She Uses All-Natural Products

Paltrow revealed some of her wellness secrets to W Magazine. She says that she keeps things natural. “Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is to read labels and know what’s in a product before putting anything in or on my body. There can be so many unnecessary ingredients in products that we just don’t need, and even scarier, there are a lot of toxic, harmful ingredients that are masked by product marketing. Xeomin has impressive clinicals, and the formulation is uniquely purified to remove unnecessary proteins, so you’re not putting excess ingredients into your face.”

2. She Stays Hydrated

Paltrow tells W Magazine that she drinks a lot of water each day. She says that she also uses powders from Goop in her water. “I’m pretty consistent in my routine, though I am always testing out something or other for Goop. I start my morning, always, with Goopglow Morning Skin Superpowder in my water bottle. It’s full of antioxidants and fights free radicals from the inside out.”

3. She Uses Face Masks

Paltrow has amazing skin. She tells W Magazine that one thing she does is use some of her facial masks. “The Goopglow microderm is pretty much the only mask I use. It’s only three minutes, but it’s a powerful little jar. Once a week, I’ll skip the microderm and do the Goopglow 15% Glycolic Acid peel at night. It’s akin to getting a chemical peel at the dermatologist, so it’s not for the faint of heart. It refines, retexturizes, and brightens overnight, while moisturizing with hyaluronic acid, so you wake up with a covetable glow. We also made a version with 5% Glycolic Acid for those with more sensitive skin.”

4. She Unwinds At The End Of The Day

Paltrow has a busy schedule, however, she always makes time to unwind. She revealed her routine to W Magazine. “I take a 20-minute bath every night. I need that ritual of unwinding from the day” "Research has found that your body experiences some of the same changes during a warm bath as it does during exercise, including better blood flow, a higher heart rate, and stronger heart contractions. And now, a study published online March 24, 2020, by the journal Heart has shown that middle-aged people in Japan who took a daily bath in either warm or hot water had a 28% lower risk of heart and blood vessel disease than people who didn't bathe in the tub more than twice a week," says Harvard Health.

5. She Eats Clean

Paltrow makes sure to eat healthy. She revealed some of her favorite foods and options to Harper’s Bazaar. “I'm usually eating for lunch stuff that you would see on the Goop website," she says. "Like a salad with some protein, or sometimes they're testing something really fun for detox, like they're using jicama for taco shells. They'll do a really clean version of a turkey burger with some kind of great sauce. It's very healthy and wrapped in lettuce or something like that."

Gwyneth Paltrow has been an icon for decades, as the face of Estée Lauder’s perfume, star of classics like Seven, Shakespeare In Love, and Iron Man (while nabbing an Emmy for her appearance on Glee) and now mogul: Paltrow is also the founder of lifestyle brand Goop, and is known for being very healthy. Goop just shared an image of the founder in a bathing suit, dry brushing her skin. "The benefits of dry brushing are noticeable both instantly and in the long term. Gwyneth uses her dry brush right before her morning shower," they captioned it. “The bristles feel so good on my skin,” she says. “There’s nothing like it.” (For the Goop story, go here.)

1. She Works To Accept Her Body

Paltrow tells People that she works to accept her body as she ages, especially growing up in the public eye. "Unfortunately, we're always looking at ourselves with a critical eye," she says. "I would love to get to a place where I don't do that anymore. I want to show up for myself in a more loving way, because it's all going south from here! There's nothing we can do about it." Paltrow also said that having her children made her notice changes in her body, and made her start to accept her body. "I was just coming out of my 20s when you're in that sexy, young girl phase and then you're like, 'Well, how do I reconcile who I am now with that?' For me, it was really about giving myself time to be a mother, and letting my body dictate where it was going.” Paltrow encourages mothers and other women to adapt this mindset, "Some women feel when they have kids that they don't feel sexual because their body isn't back yet. But it's like, 'Who said our bodies have to look a certain way?' It's hard as you age and change. But it's about bringing a wider spectrum of acceptance."

2. She Either Has A Smoothie for Breakfast or Doesn’t Eat It At All

Paltrow tells Harper’s Bazaar that she’s not the biggest fan of breakfast, and prefers to eat a later breakfast. “I’m not a big breakfast person,” she says. “I’ll eat brunch sometimes late on a weekend but, after I take my kids to school, I go straight to the gym.” Paltrow says on her Goop podcast that when she does have breakfast, she usually makes a smoothie. “On a normal day, I’ll have a smoothie for breakfast,” she says. Paltrow usually makes her smoothies with protein, healthy fats, and fiber, like cacao and peanut butter.

3. She Loves Water and Vitamin C

Paltrow says to Harper’s Bazaar that she makes sure to stay hydrated throughout the day, and that she starts her day with water. “I usually have a large glass or two of water.” Paltrow says that she stays hydrated throughout the day, and also includes Vitamin C powder with her water. “I always have a big thing of water at the gym, and I put two of our GoopGlows in for Vitamin C.”

4. She Eats Healthy Dinners

Paltrow says on her Goop podcast that for dinner, she has whatever she wants, with conditions. “But I do always try to avoid highly-processed foods and high-fructose corn syrup,” she says. Paltrow tells Shape that she likes to cook dinner as often as she can, saying, “I have a bunch of chicken dishes and pasta go-tos, and I do a lot of stir-fry for the kids. I always keep cooked brown rice in the fridge. Then it takes two minutes to chop up some vegetables, make a nice sauce, and you’re done.”

5. She Isn’t A Fan of Cleanses

Paltrow admits to InStyle that she isn’t a huge fan of cleanses and detoxes. "I'm basically never cleansing," she admitted. "Only if I'm guinea pigging something for the website. Or I try to do one good cleanse a year."

6. She Takes Vitamins and Supplements

Paltrow tells Shape that she incorporated supplements and vitamins into her diet. “I definitely take supplements. The way the modern food system is, we're always depleted of nutrients, so I take a good multivitamin, and a fish oil, and then I have other herbs for various things.”

Gwyneth Paltrow isn’t just a talented actress, she’s also a wellness maven. Paltrow has her own brand, Goop, and shares a lot of her routines with her followers. Paltrow just posted a new wellness video on Instagram. In it, she shared some of her favorite spa treatments. She captioned the video, “Routines continue to help me make meaningful shifts in the way I live, and my relatively new ‘spa’ routine which incorporates dry brushing and cold therapy, is something I have been doing for a while now (cold showers work for this).” "Magical," said one fan.

However, she tells Women’s Health that she makes conscious choices when it comes to eating. “You want deliciousness, you want a fun life—pleasure! You're going to have a baguette-and-cheese-and-red-wine frenzy sometimes—but you want it to be a choice you're awake to: ‘I know this might not make me feel great, but today I'm choosing it anyway.’”
