Health and Fitness Travel, the wellness holiday specialists, explored some famous faces who are also inspiring wellness gurus.
From A-listers such as Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston to musicians like Drake and Zayn Malik, these are the 8 most influential celebrities who are steering the wellness revolution.
Jennifer Aniston
There’s a reason why our favourite F.R.I.E.N.D. has such an enviable physique – Jennifer Aniston has been an open advocate for organic nutrition, wholesome diets, low sugar intakes, and a very low intake of processed food. More importantly, she is a long-term yogi and claims her sessions with celebrity trainer and friend Mandy Ingber are the reason for her healthy mind, body, and soul!
Zayn Malik
A long-time sufferer of anxiety, the ex-One Direction singer has openly expressed how important it is for men to discuss mental health. Suicide is the single biggest killer of men under 45, and campaigns like #ITSOKAYTOTALK are a great talking point for men’s mental health.
Kate Hudson
Inspiring Instagram posts of her cardio and Pilates routines, emphasising the importance of a skin workout, and starting her own line of athletic wear called ‘Fabletics’ – the Almost Famous actress is a bonafide wellness pro!
Russell Brand
After years of addiction struggles, Brand turned to meditation to recover. The author of ‘Recovery: Freedom from Our Addictions’ is now helping others by sharing his story and promoting the David Lynch Foundation which provides transcendental meditation classes to people in at-risk communities.
Cameron Diaz
Age is just a number – Cameron Diaz’s holistic wellness principles are laid out in ‘The Body Book’ and ‘The Longevity Book’, proving a great approach to ageing without the pressures of society.
Maria Sharapova
Maria Sharapova certainly knows a thing or two about being in the sun – being out on tennis courts in the middle of the day many times over her career. Following her mom’s advice, the tennis champ co-founded the sun-cream brand Supergoop to encourage others to take her mother’s advice and let everyone know that no matter how old or young you are, it’s always a good idea to start wearing sun cream.
Beyoncé
Before Coachella this year, the ‘Single Ladies’ megastar announced on Instagram that she was going vegan. She followed a 22 Day Nutrition meal planner – a programme which she co-founded with hubby Jay Z and celebrity trainer Marco Borges, which aims at challenging yourself to move towards a plant-based lifestyle to benefit personal health as well as our planet.
Drake
Fuelling the wellness revolution (and himself) one energy drink at a time, the ‘Hotline Bling’ singer has invested in MatchaBar – a start-up dedicated to green tea (matcha) drinks. Earlier this year, Drake had also revealed that he’s ditched meat and even suggested he might turn vegan.
