Sluss starts the day with fresh celery juice. “A healthy morning ritual that I follow every single day is drinking celery juice on an empty stomach,” she says. “I swear by it! It helps me with bloating and has really cleared up my skin. My favorite is Suja Organic celery juice- my fridge is stocked with it.”
2. Strawberries For Breakfast
Sluss says breakfast is a non-negotiable as she always eats fresh strawberries, which she calls an obsession. “Strawberries give you a lot of nutritional value for very few calories,” says Bailey Flora, MS, RDN, LD. “They’re tasty but naturally low in sugar. That’s a combination that’s hard to beat.”
3. She’s a Runner
Sluss’s favorite workout is running. “I absolutely love running! I’ve taken this time during quarantine to train for a half marathon,” she says. “I also enjoy taking long walks with Bala ankle weights. I really like to integrate P.Volve into my workout routine because it’s low impact and perfect for sculpting. Five must-do morning stretches would be a downward dog, child’s pose, side oblique stretch, and single-leg stretch. Relaxation to me means getting to a place where I can enjoy freedom from stress and feel at peace with exactly where I am at that moment.”
4. Health On the Inside
For Sluss, mental health is as important as physical health. “One of my goals is to not be so hard on myself,” she says. “I am constantly working towards that goal everyday, it’s not something you achieve overnight! Being healthy isn’t just physical. It’s also mental, spiritual, and ultimately loving yourself to not listen to those negative voices in your own head!”
5. Her Diet Secrets
Sluss’s diet secrets are based on sensible choices and balance. “Two diet secrets I would share would be to listen to your body and eat when you are hungry,” she says. “Starving yourself is never a good idea. I also think that drinking water is so important. I try to drink at least a gallon a day to stay hydrated and I find that it curbs my appetite and helps with my skin. The second secret would be to eliminate processed foods. When I go to the grocery store I try to stay away from the middle isles and choose fresh produce, vegetables and meats. I try to avoid buying processed snacks and eat from the refrigerator as much as I can.”
