Martha promotes a vegan diet. She revealed to Locale Magazine that plants make up most of her food. Why is it good to eat more fruits and veggies, even if you aren’t vegan? "One large study found that people who ate more vegetables had a smaller risk of chronic heart disease; in fact, the more veggies they ate, the more their risk went down," says the Mayo Clinic. "Researchers compiled the findings of 95 different studies and concluded: Eating more fruits and vegetables daily reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Apples, pears, citrus fruits and leafy greens all helped heart health."

2. Fight Your Way to Strength

Martha got strong and fit for Altered Carbon by training for two months in martial arts and boxing. She enjoyed it so much that she continues to practice the fighting form of fitness and even has an entire tab devoted to her workouts on her Instagram page. "This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital tells Harvard Health."You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs.”

3. Be Disciplined

Martha exerts discipline when she needs to lose weight, like when she was getting ready for Altered Carbon. During that time she fueled her body with a lot of plant-based protein. ​​"Let's say that from Monday to Friday, and on Sundays, we were all under a very strict diet, based on many vegetables, many carbohydrates, and I don't eat meat, but well, the others ate a lot of protein, I ate vegetable protein and that's it," she said.

4. Eat Sushi

“I definitely like eating sushi. I think [that] in the whole country, this is the best place to eat sushi,” Martha told Locale. “Really, I eat very little sushi because I’m vegan. I think it’s the only way that we can help the planet,” she added. Her favorite restaurants in LA include Uovo, SUGARFISH, and Katsuya.

5. Exercise Indoors and Outside
