40 Jessica Alba-Approved Health Habits You Should Totally Steal

"As I've gotten older and after I became a mom, it became more of a priority to be healthy for the right reasons," Jessica told People. "It's more important to have a balanced approach instead of trying to be perfect."

Jessica told Byrdie that she (and her kids) like to have a smoothie at breakfast. "I make sure there's plenty of fat in there with almond butter," she said. "Then I'll use Zico coconut water. Depending on whether or not I want a chocolate one or plain one, sometimes I'll put fruit in it. The kids love it! I like to get them shakes so I can get some protein in them. Chocolate, coconut, almond butter shakes with banana butter!"

Jessica shared on Instagram that she has "bad knees," so she needs to mix up her treadmill time. "When you only have 30 min to get it in💪🏽💦," she wrote. "I have bad knees so the incline and treadmill is the only way I can 🏃🏽‍♀️."

Jessica told People she gives into what her body's craving, with balance being her ultimate goal: "I have [junk] if I want it. When I do feel that I am depriving myself, I find that I binge. That's not a balanced way to go about it."

This is an easy way to know exactly what you're putting into your body. "In the summer, we do a lot of grilling; in the winter, we do roasting. We always have roasted veggies," Jessica told Byrdie.

Not only does Jessica run a healthy, organics-focused company, but she eats organic, too. "More organic produce in your life is better than packaged," she told E!.

Jessica is a huge fan of this crunchy snack. "I love popcorn. I eat that at the office every day," she told Byrdie. "I make popcorn with Himalayan sea salt and coconut oil. That's pretty much it!"

Water is pretty crucial to staying alive and healthy, and Jessica is well aware of this. "I think water is essential [to good health]," she told E!. It's also important if you want glowing skin and high energy (and who doesn't?).

Full caveat: Jessica is a spokesperson for Zico coconut water, but she really seems to love the stuff. "I really love the health benefits that come with coconut water," she told Byrdie. "I don't drink a ton of other types of drinks. I drink coffee, tea, and coconut water—that's it."

Jessica is big on this one. "Always try to have as many fresh and natural things in your diet as possible and the least amount of processed things and things that have unnatural sugars," she told Byrdie.

In early 2019, Jessica posted a photo of herself on Instagram getting an acupuncture facial. Not only was she makeup-free, her face was covered in needles. Fans of acufacials claim they can do everything from boosting circulation to increasing collagen production (key for plumping up fine lines and wrinkles) to relaxing muscles (which gives a more lifted appearance to the face).

Jessica's Instagram is filled with photos of herself and her workout buds. "I really like taking group classes, or I like to work out with friends," she told Byrdie. "I'll always work out with a friend because it's more fun."

Resistance bands are a great way to use your body to build strength. In a recent Instagram Story, Jessica showed off a few of the tools she was using, including resistance bands for side-steps.

Jessica is a big fan of indoor cycling classes. "I like to do some [indoor cycling] classes, group classes, Flywheel is a place I like to go," she told WomensHealthMag.com.

This is crucial, Jessica says. "I definitely always have Drake, Jay-Z, Kanye, I have some new artists that I've been listening to a lot," she told Byrdie. "I like any kind of West Coast rapper—usually more hip-hop and rap and less pop music."

"If you can be active in any way shape or form, it's always good to keep the blood flowing," Jessica told E!. "If you can just do it two or three times a week, a little bit of exercise whether it's yoga or going for a walk or cycling class or something...go for it."

Jessica's trainer Ramona Braganza's best advice for her clients, per InStyle: "If you don't feel the intensity then you're not pushing yourself. If you're on your own, use a heart rate monitor to make sure you're training in the zone."

This isn't something Jessica does often, but she's shared on Instagram that she's had days where she's worked out twice in one day—and even three times. "Man it was hard, but oh so good," she wrote after her three-a-day experience.

Jessica gets in her workouts over the weekends, too. "#weekendwarrior," she captioned one Instagram gym selfie.

Jessica told Byrdie she's all about this form of exercise: "I do like hot yoga classes, if it's done at a good pace. I prefer it mixed in with light weights, so like a sculpting hot yoga class."
