“In my 30s, I learned to accept my body for what it is. This is what looks good on it. It will never look good in that thing over there with all the fabric and the bows and the ruffles. It just won't,” Reese told InStyle.
2. She Hydrates
In an Instagram Reel, Reese revealed a few of her go-to health habits. One of them? Starting the day hydrated. “Start the day with a big glass of water,” she wrote. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
