Amanda Holden has revealed that her vegetarian diet, which she has followed for 40 years, is the key to her glowing skin and good health. The 54-year-old Britain's Got Talent judge adopted the lifestyle at age 13 and credits it with keeping her 'healthy by default'.
Holden, who occasionally eats fish and is technically a pescatarian, enjoys plant-based meals featuring avocado, chickpeas, and quinoa salads. She also shared a quirky snack: hard-boiled eggs with Marmite, which she called her 'favourite thing to do'.
Her dietary choice was motivated by animal welfare concerns. She previously stated, 'The best thing you can do for animals is to just leave them off your plate'. Studies suggest that a predominantly plant-based diet may reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes, while also benefiting skin health due to polyphenols and vitamins C and E.
The NHS advises vegetarians to ensure they get necessary nutrients and recommends consulting a doctor before making significant dietary changes.
