“I trust when it tells me it needs something to eat, that it’s thirsty. I listen to my body today, and I have a lot less fear,” Demi Moore said.

Demi Moore, 62, is all about getting plenty of sleep and a clean diet — but she’s not quite ready to give up her one guilty pleasure.
In an interview for the cover of People’s World’s Most Beautiful 2025 issue, Moore spoke about her wellness routine and how it had changed over the years.
“I really like anchoring with a short meditation, journaling. And overall, I like really nutrient-dense food. I don’t eat meat. I do eat eggs. But I think a big part of wellness is really inside out. And I’ve come to realize how important sleep is,” Moore told People.
But as much as she tries to take care of what she puts into her body, there’s one thing she can’t go without.
“I mean, I’m not perfect. I still do drink Red Bull. I do love it. But not many. One,” Moore said.
The Oscar-nominated actor has said she used to go to extreme lengths to take care of her appearance. But these days, she said, her wellness routine is centered on improving her overall health and longevity.
“I did torture myself. Crazy things like biking from Malibu all the way to Paramount, which is about 26 miles. All because I placed so much value on what my outsides looked like,” Moore said.
She added that she used to have “a much more antagonistic relationship” with her body. Now, she said, she tries to be gentler with it.
“I trust when it tells me it needs something to eat, that it’s thirsty. I listen to my body today, and I have a lot less fear,” she said. “When I was younger, I felt like my body was betraying me. And so I just tried to control it. And now I don’t operate from that place. It’s a much more aligned relationship.”
Though aging in Hollywood hasn’t been easy, Moore said, she has a “greater appreciation” for all that her body has been through.
“It doesn’t mean that sometimes I look in the mirror and don’t go, ‘Oh God, I look old,’ or ‘Oh, my face is falling’ — I do. But I can accept that that’s where I’m at today, and I know the difference today is that it doesn’t define my value or who I am,” she said.
There’s plenty of research that backs up Moore’s eating and living habits.
A 2022 study found that people who ate less meat had a lower risk of cancer than people who ate meat often.
While eating too much meat — and specifically red meat — has been linked to health problems such as heart disease and cancer, it isn’t all bad, since it contains iron, protein, and vitamin B12.
Likewise, research shows that getting quality sleep can help improve immunity and increase longevity. According to neuroscientists, adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep every night to be well-rested.
A representative for Moore didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.
