I moisturize, I read my magazines, I listen to good advice from people who really know, and I try to watch what I eat. But it is diet. It is exercise. It is maintenance. It is checkups. It is attitude. It is a lot of things. And I think you need to be aware of what is going to work for you”. Eva also eats a lot of vegetables, egg whites, lean proteins and healthy snacks.
