Here are a few candid pictures of “American Beauty” actress Mena Suvari as she was having eating at the trendy Newsroom restaurant in Beverly Hills.
Mena is known to be very picky about her food. She hopes that her healthy diet, based on organic foods, will keep her looking young for decades.
She says, “I follow my own diet, and I’m pretty anal about it. I believe in healthy, organic food. I’ve incorporated a lot of whole grains into my diet. I don’t eat meat unless it’s organic. I eat fish, but there are certain fish I won’t eat because of the mercury content. I don’t eat sugar.
I’m very particular, and it can be hard on sets. They’ll say, ‘I’ll just tell you what’s for lunch.’ And I’m like, ‘No, I need to go look at it.’ People probably think I’m being rude, but I can visualise how the food is going to affect my body.
I’ve eaten my share of junk. But my husband and I have been seeing a nutritionist, Feline Butcher, for years. When I first met her, she told me, ‘Mena, I know I am going to live to be a very old and healthy women.’ She looked stunning. I was like, ‘I wanna be like that.’
So I try to have a very clean lifestyle. I’ll have tea every once in a while, but I don’t drink coffee. I don’t smoke. It’s part of who I am, what makes me feel my best.” [ContactMusic]
I think that’s a very healthy attitude to eating, and to living in general. If only more people would think like her!
