Hey there! Want to know how Eva Longoria keeps that incredible physique? The former "Desperate Housewives" star recently opened up to Life & Style about her fitness routine and diet. Now, I know what you're thinking—keeping fit can be tough, right? But Eva's approach might surprise you. Not only does she make it sound doable, but her routine also offers a lot of flexibility. Let's dive into how she stays in shape and why she's so passionate about raising awareness for metastatic breast cancer.

Breaking Down Eva Longoria’s Diet and Exercise Routine

When Eva Longoria talks about her lifestyle, she doesn’t shy away from being honest. In a recent interview, she revealed that she hasn’t been on a strict diet in months. "Right now, I haven't been on a diet in about three months," she shared. "My diet is eat everything—and wine!" Eva’s approach is refreshingly realistic. While she loves indulging in her favorite treats, she balances it out with regular exercise. Normally, she’s all about running, Pilates, and yoga. But recently, a broken ankle put a temporary halt to her running routine. "I need to start doing more weight training," she admitted. "I would like to do more weight training, but I just need to be in one place." It’s a reminder that even the most disciplined celebrities have to adjust their routines sometimes.

How Eva Stays Motivated

Now, Eva’s not just about hitting the gym or sipping wine. She’s also incredibly motivated by the work she does with Novartis for their #KissThis4MBC campaign. This campaign is all about raising funds and awareness for women living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Eva’s sister’s diagnosis inspired her involvement. Thankfully, her sister is now in remission, but the experience left a lasting impact on Eva. When Novartis approached her with this campaign, she was eager to get involved. "When Novartis approached me with this campaign about metastatic breast cancer, I never heard of it—I was like, 'What's metastatic breast cancer?'" Eva explained. "And the fact that I didn’t know about it, and yet my family was affected so closely with breast cancer, was concerning to me because I was like, 'Wait, I should know what this is,' and they explained one in three women who are diagnosed with breast cancer will metastasize, and I was like, 'Oh! So it could come back and spread to other areas.'"

The Power of Social Media in Raising Awareness

Eva’s commitment to the cause doesn’t stop at personal involvement. She’s also using her platform to encourage others to participate. "If you post a Boomerang or a selfie with the hashtag #KissThis4MBC, Novartis donates $10 for every post, up to $200,000 for research for metastatic breast cancer," she explained. "So I was like, 'That's such an easy campaign, it's easy for people to jump on, it's easy for people to do—nothing required, and it's a great way to raise the funds.'" Eva believes that small actions can lead to significant change, and she’s determined to make a difference.

On a lighter note, Eva also addressed some pregnancy rumors that surfaced earlier this year. In April, photos of her in a bikini sparked speculation. Eva took to Instagram to set the record straight. "I saw some pictures of myself [looking] really fat on a boat. I have to tell you, all I did was eat cheese," she joked. "So that’s the news of the day. I’m not pregnant, just eating a lot of cheese, a lot of wine, a lot of pancakes." It’s this candid, down-to-earth attitude that makes Eva so relatable and beloved by her fans.
