Reese Witherspoon Is The Health And Wellness Role Model You Didn't Know You Needed

Reese Witherspoon has been doing Her Thing (be it starring in movies, focusing on her production company, making book club fun again...) in the spotlight for decades, and she still looks as amazing as she did was back in her Cruel Intentions days. At 43, Reese has glowy skin, a healthy attitude on life, and ridiculously cute hair. She also looks really, really fit—not to mention happy, always (how?!). Here’s how she looks so great, and the health habits she swears by to feel her best—physically *and* mentally—all throughout life.

Go for the greens! During an interview with Vogue, Reese ordered a kale-and-lentil salad with chicken for lunch. She also raved about kale salads in a separate interview with The New York Times.

"That pit in your stomach, like you're going to be asked to do something you can't accomplish? I still haven't conquered that,” Reese told Women’s Health. “Every time I start a film, I'm terrified. But the worry isn't helping, you know? Run the worst-case scenario, like, 'The worst thing is the movie's not going to do well, and I'm going to get bad reviews.' That's already happened in my life, and I didn't die."
