Aim fit: Jessica Alba’s fitness vows

Actor says healthy diet more important than rigorous workout

Actor Jessica Alba shared a healthy diet is more important as compared to a rigorous workout. The 35-year-old actor prefers to stick to a diet which is low in sugar and carbs, reported The Indian Express.

And, while the Sin City star does not hit the gym every day, she is happy if she is able to keep it regular.

“With exercise, I get a little more toned and I definitely feel stronger, but my diet is much more important if I’m trying to slim down,” Alba said. “In that case, I usually don’t eat gluten, dairy, fried foods or processed foods. I try to stick to a diet that’s low in sugar and carbs and high in lean protein and vegetables.”

The actor revealed she feels content if she works out at least four times in a week. “I take yoga classes in the morning, and I sacrifice sleep to fit them in. For me, the benefits of exercise are more mental than physical,” Alba added. “With working out I feel happier and more productive and my brain gets kick started.”

Speaking of whom she considers her inspiration, she mentioned, “I mean, what Jason Statham can do with his body is insane. He’s better than some stunt people that I’ve worked with.”

Alba also revealed she and her husband are big fans of her Mechanic: Resurrection co-star. “Statham is one of the best action heroes in the industry right now. My husband and I are both huge fans of him. I love action movies and think he’s one of the best, if not the best, action stars right now.”
