EatingWell:With your birthday coming up, do you have any advice regarding healthy aging?

Lowe:I think it’s two things: body and spirit.

For the body, it’s about a consistent regimen that’s sustainable.

Atkins

It’s not a particular diet, it’s a way of life.

It’s sustainable, doable and easy.

I also work out a lot, and it’s more for my mood than anything else.

It really helps my head and my thought processes, and it’s usually outside.

And sleep is hugeI’m very lucky that I sleep well and I sleep a lot.

Those two things put together I think are a really great recipe for anyoneit certainly has been for me.

EatingWell:Do you have a morning routine that you stick by?

I take a stab at milk that clock as long as I can.

At night I’m with the family and the dogs, it’s simple.

My life is really, really, really simple when I’m off the clock.

When I’m on the clock working, I start my day just with some water and coffee.

I drink a lot of water and then I have a nice big lunch.

It wasWest Wing, I did it for four years.

Went to the gym every single day at lunch, but now, not so much.

EatingWell:What are some of your favorite lunches to help you stay satisfied while on set?

Lowe:I’m a creature of habit.

I have meals that I cycle through that I love.

I just had a Tostada salad with grilled chicken today, I have that once a week for sure.

I’ll have chicken kebabs with a little hummus and Greek salad.

And I’ll do a lightly breaded chicken Parm with a miso salad.

These are all super-yummy lunches, by the way.

It’s pretty simple.

EatingWell:Do you have any advice for those looking to start their sobriety journey?

Any misconceptions that you wish you could debunk about sober living?

Lowe:It’s such a deeply personal choice for everyone.

I think a lot of people go through that; it can be a real detriment.

There’s so many other options today.

There’s great nonalcoholic beers, there’s nonalcoholic wines, there’s so many mocktails.

I remember going, Well, what am I going to drink at Dodger Stadium?

Maybe I’ll just never go again.

Because what’s the point of going to Dodger Stadium if you might’t have a beer?
