There are many aspects of ourselves that impact how we express and develop our talents, including personality and health - mental, physical and spiritual.
In his article Mariel Hemingway: Healthy Living from the Inside Out, Kyle Roderick (for Life Extension magazine) describes how the actor improved her health through diet and supplements, noting that in her youth, “Hemingway lived in fear of falling prey to what she calls ‘the Hemingway legacy of mental illness, addiction, and eating and drinking to excess.’”
Her paternal grandfather was writer Ernest Hemingway, who succumbed to alcoholism in his later years and possibly suffered from manic depression. Her sister was Margaux Hemingway, who committed suicide.

The article notes, “Eating a no-fat, low-protein, and carbohydrate-rich diet kept her looking thin for the cameras, but Hemingway, by her own admission, also drank caffeine like a fiend and exercised obsessively.
“I loved the energy I got from coffee and then I would jump rope for hours in my apartment after working out at the gym,” she recalls.
“Because I didn’t drink alcohol or take drugs, I thought I was the healthiest, cleanest-living person in the world, until I got to the point where I had zero energy, my menstrual periods stopped, and tests revealed that in addition to low thyroid function, I was vitamin-deficient.”
The article adds, “Hemingway found her way back to well-being with the help of holistic nutritionists, chiropractors, and other health care professionals.
“In addition to a full arsenal of antioxidant supplements and her beloved green tea, Hemingway is diligent about consuming multivitamins, multiminerals, and brain-specific nutrients such as ginkgo biloba and phosphatidylserine.”
“Just as there is no magic diet for everyone, each individual has to experiment with the supplements that are right for them,” she says.
“My husband [documentary film director and producer Stephen Crisman] takes different supplements from what I take because his body has different needs.”
Another form of nutrition considered very healthy by many people is raw foods. In her Newsweek article In The Raw, Jennifer Barrett Ozols writes, “Boosted by celebrity endorsements, the raw-foods movement is migrating from the margins to the mainstream. Is it really good for you?”
She mentions a number of people, including David Wolfe, the author of “Eating For Beauty” and “The Sunfood Diet Success System,” who “stopped eating anything cooked or processed 11 years ago.
“His diet now consists largely of fruit smoothies, fresh vegetable juices and the occasional handful of pumpkin seeds - and says the benefits of adhering to the diet far outweigh any inconveniences.
“‘Clear skin… clear thinking, improved digestion,’ he says, ticking off the changes he noticed after making the switch.”
