1. She Eats Healthy 60 Percent of the Time
Most stars maintain they follow an 80/20 diet, eating healthy the vast majority of the time. However, Katy has a much more lax approach. “Let’s be honest,” she told Prevention, “it’s 60/40.”
2. Her Health Is Part of Her Job

Katy approaches health as part of her job. “I’ve had a lot of opportunity in my life and I know how fortunate I am, but when I don’t have my health, nothing else matters,” she told Prevention. “If I can’t get on the stage and do it, I disappoint so many people. I’ve lost my magical power if I can’t get onstage.”
3. She Loves Apple Cider Vinegar

Katy and fiance Orlando Bloom have a shared love of apple cider vinegar. When they first started dating she found a water bottle that was “kind of cloudy, because it had apple cider vinegar in it,” in his car and she knew they were meant to be “Is this looove?” she joked about the moment. She has been drinking ACV for many years. “My mother made me drink it every day, but now it’s a staple for me,” she told Prevention, revealing that her mom has known the founder of Bragg for decades. Now, Katy and Orlando are co-owners. “I’m here to help reeducate people on how to use it,” she said. She not only drinks it, adding two tablespoons into eight ounces of water, she rinses veggies in it, even bathes in it, adding one cup to her bath.

“I have had a dance with depression, and hot yoga helps clear it all out,” Katy told Prevention. One of her favorites is CorePower Yoga, which she can do wherever she is. “You always know what you’re going to get,” she says. “If you have a healthy body, it helps you have a healthy mind.” She also practices Transcendental Medication. “It clears my head completely,” she told Prevention. “And it ignites something in my brain. I get some of my best creative ideas when I’m TM’ing.” She does it daily, and even brings her teacher on tour with her. “For me, TM has been anxiety-reducing, depression-reducing, great for jet lag, hangovers, mood swings. Anytime I’m in a funky mood, I’m like, ‘give me 20 minutes.’”
