Strength Training
Exercise is important but a busy work schedule and the responsibility of two kids under 10 make it difficult for her to adhere to a routine. So, how does she train her strength?
She runs three times a week for a full hour. She loves running and even said that running was like meditation to her. She also practices gyrotonics. It is a combination of Pilates, yoga, gymnastics, dancing, swimming, and the Chinese martial art Tai chi. Her fitness routine doesn’t stop here as is also a big fan of Ashtanga yoga. Sometimes she laughingly says that she tries everything to stay fit.
Natalie Portman keeps changing exercises according to her roles. But one thing she never changes is her diet. She is a vegan and she adheres to a vegan diet. It will be interesting to know how she meets her nutritional demand while limiting her food choices to vegan only.
Diet
Natalie Portman starts her day with oatmeal and avocado toast. Her breakfast also includes chickpeas, salad, and tahini. Oatmeal is a healthy choice for breakfast and an avocado toast is sufficient to provide her energy to keep going. Also, salad and tahini add different flavors to her breakfast.
Her lunch consists of vegan Mexican food. Others might wonder how a celebrity actress could restrict her food choice only to tacos, lentil salad, roasted potatoes, kale, and vegan feta. She needs more vitamins and protein to prevent the work pressure from taking a toll on her physical health. But the truth is she is mentally so strong that nothing can prompt her to change her vegan diet.

She once said that the secret to her beauty lies in her vegan lifestyle and the selection of organic brands substantiates her claim. Her glowing skin, fair complexion, and flawless texture prove that a healthy diet and skincare routine can promote natural beauty.
Like any other woman of her age, Natalie Portman also has big dreams and high ambitions for her health and wellness. But what sets her apart from others is her knowledge.
