At 48, Alicia Silverstone Credits Plant-Based Diet for Youthful Look
Alicia Silverstone, the ever-youthful star of “Clueless,” says the secret to her radiant complexion isn’t Botox or fillers—it’s her plant-based diet. In a recent interview, the 48-year-old actress shared that she hasn’t had any cosmetic procedures, preferring to embrace the natural aging process. “I have lines,” she admitted, adding that she’s “curious to see what happens.”
Silverstone attributes her healthy glow to the plant-based lifestyle she adopted in the late ’90s, initially motivated by her love for animals. The unexpected bonus?
Significant health improvements, including stronger nails and thicker hair. “My health, I did not plan for,” she confessed.
She believes her diet has played a crucial role in maintaining her youthful appearance.
While aiming for perfect adherence to her plant-based regimen, Silverstone acknowledges that life isn’t always predictable. She allows herself occasional indulgences, viewing her diet as a roadmap to a healthier life, rather than a rigid set of rules.
The actress also discussed navigating Hollywood’s beauty standards. “As I age, I’m aware that I don’t look like everybody else,” she shared, adding that it doesn’t bother her. Silverstone joins a growing number of celebrities and athletes, including NFL quarterback Justin Fields and F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, who tout the benefits of plant-based eating.
Studies support Silverstone’s claims, showing that plant-based diets can reduce the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, improve gut health, and aid in weight management. However, it’s important for those considering a plant-based diet to ensure they’re getting essential nutrients like vitamin B12, often found in animal products.
