I love hot cocoa and my tea, and I love the fire being on.
I love it being freezing cold outside and the puppies and dogs are all comfy and cozy.
EatingWell:What are some healthy habits that you maintain in your routine during the winter season?
But wintertime is all about staying inside and self-care.
I journal, I read, I’m drinking lots of water.
EatingWell:Any snacks that help you stay energized on set?
Brown:I like dried mango.
Dried mango is always a favorite, and I always think of it as an energy booster.
And I love carrots.
Usually midday, I will take a break, eat some carrots and drink iced water.
That is my break within the day that I actually like and really look forward to.
EatingWell:Whats your least favorite food?
Brown:So my least favorite food was always olives.
I always hated olives.
There you go, insightnobody knows that!
How important is it for you to stay hydrated throughout the day?
Brown:I’m still 19, so I’m hormonal and going through all of these things.
When I drink water when I have acne, it’s literally [my] best pimple repair ever.
And the best jet lag repair ever!
I actually was doing an event once and I said, Oh, I might need a coffee.
I’m really going to fall asleep.
My close friend said, Just drink a bottle of water.
And I said, You want me to drink a bottle of water?
That’s not going to wake me up.
But I drank the bottle of water and it truly woke me up.
I felt better and I think that was a huge lesson for me.
So now all I do is drink water, and it actually is my coffee!
EatingWell:Do you prefer walking or running?
He only reads and memorizes his lines by walking.
And I know walking is really important for mental health, so I definitely should try that one day.
