TAKE A LIGHTER APPROACH

To stay in shape, High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale does “a lot of cardio with my trainer,” but sticks to light weights to avoid getting bulky. “I want to be lean and toned,” she says. The actress also keeps her menu light with egg whites, granola or oatmeal for breakfast and lots of veggies through the day. “I don’t really diet crazy or anything,” she says. “I just kind of eat healthy.” Get Health.com’s recipes for light but tasty foods to keep you at your feel-great weight. – Jed Dreben

BEAUTIFY YOUR DIET

Age-defying creams aren’t nearly as effective if you don’t eat right. “To keep a youthful, glowing appearance, eat foods that provide your features with optimal nutrition,” says Lisa Drayer, M.A., a registered dietitian and author of the new book The Beauty Diet. Drayer recommends a diet centered around 10 foods, including Zinc-rich oysters for strong nails and eyes and dark chocolate for “keeping the skin moist, smooth and less scaly.” Read more about her Beauty Diet and find out Health.com’s picks for inflammation-fighting superfoods. – Andrea DeSimone

It’s not easy, but it clears my head.” Read about other ways to tackle your day with renewed vigor on Health.com. – Charlotte Triggs
