Maria Menounos is a multi-talented TV host, best known for founding AfterBuzz TV, and she is also a fitness expert. With a passion for wellness, she recently took to Instagram to share one of her daily non-negotiable health habits: watching the sunrise. In her post, Menounos highlighted how this practice has a profound impact on her mental and physical well-being. “Sunrise is the most magical time of the day! It’s my non-negotiable for my health, mental and physical,” she wrote. Menounos is always focused on living a balanced life, whether it's through her skincare routine or incorporating movement into her day. Here’s a deeper look into how she maintains her well-being and stays in great shape.

1. She Walks

Menounous likes to walk to keep herself in shape. She tells New Beauty, “I love going for a walk with my dogs. To me just being out in nature really helps me reconnect and get regrounded. Motion equals emotion, so, whenever you’re not feeling well just get out and start moving. It makes you feel better instantly.”

2. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Menounous shared her skincare secrets with New Beauty. “Skin-care wise I have to say I really love Dr. Jason Diamond’s Metacine skin-care line. I got an early stash from him and my skin’s been glowing. And I’ve gone through so much hell in the early part of the year, so I was like, ‘Do I look like it?’ I don’t. I really love his new products. I also just switched over my foundation. I’ve been trying to clean up my beauty products, which I’ve been doing for the last few years. I just tried NARS’ new Radiant Foundation ($50). I also use a little of the Kosas Glow I.V. Vitamin-Infused Skin Enhancer ($38) and it gives a really nice glow. I’m really loving the Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash ($25) tubing mascara. And Beauty Bio, I’m really obsessed with their products, like the GloFacial ($199) pore cleanser. I also love their roller. It’s all so good.”

3. She Loves Smoothies

Menounous shared some of her favorite foods in an interview with Health. She says that she likes to make smoothies for breakfast, and shared her favorite recipe. "Most mornings I start with a smoothie," she says. "My favorite has Greek yogurt, almonds, apple, banana, cinnamon, and a little bit of skim milk. It’s [celebrity trainer] Harley Pasternak’s recipe; I’ve been doing it for years. Nine times out of 10 that's what I'm having."

4. She Has A Balanced Diet

Menounous makes sure to eat a healthy diet. However, she tells Health that she doesn’t believe in depriving herself and does believe in balance. “I really do try to aim for a 75-25 rule for eating (but for me it’s really 80% clean). If I ate clean all day and I’m watching a movie later that night, I’ll have a few Kit Kat Bites or some popcorn, and I’m not going to feel bad about it. I can play a little bit.’

5. She Moves Constantly

Menounos has an active life. She talked about this her interview with Health. “Move with a purpose,” she said. “Even if you’re just going from your office to the bathroom, power walk there. Get a [fitness tracker] and make sure that you’re reaching your steps-a-day goal, and that you’re always going. Take the harder way as much as possible. We’re so conditioned to take the easy way, the convenient way. I never do that; I’m always moving.”
