When it comes to Susan Lucci's health,Chainkeen she's leading with her heart.
The All My Children alum recently revealed that she changed her diet after undergoing two heart surgeries in the last five years. In fact, there is a trio of foods the soap star makes a point to eat every day: salmon, blueberries and kale.
"My doctor told me, 'You keep doing what you're doing because something good will come from that,'" Susan, 77, told Fox News in an interview published Feb. 28. "It started with superfoods. I do have the occasional pasta and carbs. But the key is moderation."
The daytime TV actress explained that she follows a Mediterranean diet—which mostly consists of vegetables, fruits and whole grains, per the Cleveland Clinic—and avoids foods full of cholesterol.
"My husband was an executive chef trained in Europe," she noted of her late husband Helmut Huber. "I remember I would eat everything that he was cooking. It was like monopoly food, and I did build up cholesterol. It's not about being trendy, it's about being your best self."
But Susan's eating habits are just a portion of her healthy lifestyle.
"I do Pilates every day...at least five days a week," she revealed of her fitness regimen. "I sometimes add weights for part of it or work out on a Pilates chair, which gives you a cardio workout as well."
She continued, "Pilates may look easy, but it requires a lot of strength."
Of course, the Devious Maids alum isn't the only celebrity to open up about her diet and fitness regimen. Keep scrolling to see how other stars have prioritized their health.
"I always move, even for a few minutes each day. Sometimes I'll go into a room, turn up the music and just dance. It's a great way to let loose and feel great."
The record producer recently opened up about his love for golfing and how it's helped him slim down.
"I do it every day and I get a chance to sit on the golf cart or walking about to answer an email or a call and handle my business," he told Us Weekly in an interview published Sept. 20. "It's so much [more] pleasurable, meaning [being around] the nature, the sun. It cleanses me."
"Honestly, my favorite way to break a sweat right now is playing VR. We got a virtual reality headset right as everything was shutting down and it's been AMAZING during quarantine. There are so many games that make you work up a sweat and it's so awesome. I am genuinely so sore after I play."
"Under normal circumstances it's going to the gym, but right now I'm taking online classes with my Pilates instructor Britni Lariviere (@CarrotsandPlanks). I'm also trying to jump rope—2,000 strokes each day."
"Family bike rides are big for us right now and I always try to carve out thirty minutes for pilates with Andrea Rodgers and foam rolling with Lauren Roxburgh."
"Running and listening to music. The best outlet I've found these last few months being stuck in the house! I feel so great and pumped up after."
"My favorite way to break a sweat is mix of sex, PRx Performance, hiking, biking."
"By connecting with my audience and motivating them through my Brooke Burke Body fitness app! I've been live streaming on the app as well as on my Instagram since the beginning of quarantine in an effort to make fitness fun and innovative. I especially love walking my viewers through total body cardio parties, which is when I crank up the music, let them find their rhythm and let the booty burn. Cardio kicks up your heart rate, so if you're not sweating, you're not working out hard enough!"
"I have been doing a lot of Sculpt, Cardio Boxing and Yoga Classes on the obé Fitness App and virtual classes with Pilates By Amanda. If I don't have a lot of time, I will do Lauren Gores' express workouts on her Instagram."
"During lockdown it's yoga under my own direction. I can go onto so many different tangents and by the time I am done it is often two hours."
"My trainer, Amoila Cesar, gets lots of results out of me by appealing to my 'no quit,' competitive side. He yells and I love it. During quarantine, I got my fix by doing his 6 Weeks of THE WORK on Beachbody on Demand. I also love a rigorous barre class and need daily yoga."
"I've been doing a lot of dancing in my apartment. I'll turn on some music and just go. Sometimes it's more structured, sometimes it's interpretive, sometimes I twerk. Also hiking!"
"My go-to work out is P.Volve, I've gone to their classes for years and now I stream them at home. I try and workout at least 3 to 4 times a week even if its for only 30 minutes. Its all about strengthening and elongating your muscles. It's my favorite!"
