Vegetarian Star

Mayim Bialik shared with WebMD Magazine a few of her favorite vegan things.

There’s more to a vegan lifestyle than food, and Bialik gives her tips for keeping your beauty regime and more cruelty-free.

Bialik said she rarely wears a lot of makeup off the set of Big Bang Theory, but when she’s wearing any, she ensures they are free from animal products and synthetic preservatives and fragrances.

So what might you find in her purse or bag?

“A gloss or lipstick on hand, usually one from Hourglass, which makes cruelty-free, vegan products. A tube of hand lotion: I love the Duette Luxe Lip & Hand Creme from the French brand Votre Vu; it smells like cake. Finally, a vial of food-grade lavender oil.”

Eating a plant-based diet is generally healthy, but when Bialik does need to purify her body from some vegan “junk” food, she uses more whole plant foods she would normally include in her everyday meals.

“Every so often I will do a ‘flush’ — where I cut out all processed foods for a few days, and so that my digestive system and my taste buds sort of “reset” themselves. It’s not fancy. I simply eat only fruits and veggies and avoid all things processed, white foods, and sugars. Slowly I’ll add things back in, starting with unprocessed soy, then raw nuts, and then simple dishes with just two or three ingredients.”
