Actress Elizabeth Hurley, highly regarded for maintaining an incredibly fit physique well into her 60s, has shared the crucial factor behind her stunning shape: a significant reduction in alcohol consumption.
Speaking with the Daily Mail, Hurley explained that her health philosophy is deeply informed by her philanthropic work with a major breast cancer foundation.
“I think probably because of my work with the breast cancer foundation, I’ve really listened to what they’ve said about health,” the actress stated. She noted a direct link between mindful health habits and physical appearance, adding: “Of course, when you’re really looking after your health, you tend to look better at the same time.”
Hurley detailed the specific health advice she follows:
- “They definitely advise us not to carry any excess weight, and to exercise and eat healthily.”
- “And they advise against alcohol, so I try to follow those guidelines as much as I can,” she affirmed.
The Bedazzled star revealed a change in how her body metabolizes alcohol with age. “I don’t drink much alcohol at all. I’ve also found that as I’ve got older, my body processes it less well than it did when I was younger,” she explained, adding that she now only consumes alcohol as an “absolute treat.”
Concluding with a nod to scientific consensus, Hurley highlighted the physiological reasons behind her decision: “It is proven your body processes alcohol at a much slower rate as you age, and your liver needs a little more help,” she stated, reinforcing the health-first approach to aging.
