Jennifer Aniston has been a beauty and fitness icon since her days as Rachel Green on Friends, a role that cemented her status as one of the most beloved actresses of the ‘90s. Decades later, at 55, she continues to captivate audiences—not just with her performances, but with her dedication to health and wellness. In a recent interview with People Magazine, Aniston shared her go-to diet and fitness secrets, proving that looking and feeling great is all about balance, not extremes.
The Morning Elixir She Swears By
Aniston starts her day with a unique health-boosting drink. “I drink colostrum first thing in the morning, with room temperature water and a whole lemon squeezed into it,” she revealed. Colostrum, known for its rich nutrient content, plays a key role in immune support.
During the colder months, she likes to enhance the drink with warming ingredients. “I’ll steep a little teaspoon of ginger, which is good for digestion and immunity, and then I’ll add a drop of Manuka honey. It’s so delicious served hot,” she shared.
For Aniston, self-care isn’t just about what she eats or drinks—it’s about an overall approach to wellness. Over the years, she’s embraced new health practices and loves to pass on valuable insights. “I love sharing health tips, food tips, sleep tips—anything I learn, I want to share,” she said. One of her biggest takeaways? Ditch the outdated mindset of no pain, no gain.
A Workout That Changed Everything
Aniston recently teamed up with a low-impact fitness program designed to build strength without overworking the body. The six-week plan involves four trainer-led sessions per week, offering a sustainable, enjoyable approach to exercise.
“Out of all the workouts I’ve tried over the years, this one has transformed my body the most,” she said. “It’s a workout I actually look forward to. If I’m not feeling 100%, I’ll just do 20 minutes, and that’s enough. It meets you where you’re at, and I love that about it.”
The results have been undeniable. “I’ve never had this kind of definition before,” Aniston admitted. “These workouts target micro muscles underneath the bigger ones—muscles you didn’t even know existed. It’s about getting strong from the inside out.”
Her philosophy is simple: Taking care of yourself should feel good, not like a punishment. And if her glowing energy is any indication, she’s found a formula that works.
