Big Love star Ginnifer Goodwin is the epitome of health: great skin, beautiful hair, and a radiant smile. She’s sharing her tips on staying healthy and happy in the January issue of Health Magazine.

On her go-to healthy snack (which I can’t wait to try):

“Jeanne Tripplehorn taught me—and this is the most amazing thing in the world—make some instant oatmeal, and put a tiny spoonful of peanut butter and a tiny spoonful of jelly in it, and mush it all up. It is like a mushy peanut butter–and-jelly. It’s genius. And it’s very satiating.”

On her favorite diet:

“I have been a member of Weight Watchers for 23 years, and I’m back on it right now. It’s the only thing on the planet that doesn’t dehydrate you or just make you miserable. I’ve never had a dramatic weight problem, it’s just that I tend to indulge, and then I need to get back on track so I can button my pants.”

On her love of dancing:

“Looooove ballet! I do it when I’m feeling good enough to put on a leotard. [Laughs.] But I have a trainer who used to be a New York City Ballet ballerina, and she does a lot of hybrid Pilates ballet. I did join a gym in the Valley, which freaks me out way less than working out in Hollywood, where I feel like I’m going to run into people I know.”

On what being healthy means to her:

“Healthy is beautiful. Because what comes with health is a clear mind and a high spirit. When I’m not healthy, I can’t think straight, and I’m unhappy. I’ll realize that I’m an emotional mess, and it’s because I’m dehydrated. Or I’m cold and cranky, and it’s because I’m not exercising and my circulation is poor.”

She’s lovely. And recently engaged! Thanks for being a good role model, Ginnifer.
