CSM Game-Changer Issue with Cristiano Ronaldo 2019 BODY ISSUE - Lauren Flodquist | Page 219

CSM: Fact or myth? Does living a healthy
lifestyle keeps you happy and young? Why
is that?
LAUREN: I absolutely think so. When you’re
healthy you’re going to be happy. Endorphins
are one thing but when your body is getting
what it needs you will feel younger but you
will also look it as well! My Grandmother is
86 and she’s been active her whole life. She
doesn’t look her age at all and I know it’s be-
cause she’s always taken such great care of
her health by exercise and diet!
CSM: If you are our health ambassador
and a lifestyle advocate, how would you
help promote healthy living in school or in
corporate world?
LAUREN: I would have to say as by being
a living example. If one sees me they will see
my gallon of water and my Six Pack food bag.
They will see me educating people about their
food choices and exercise habits. I’m that per-
son that will sit and talk with a stranger and
try to give them pointers and sometimes even
give them a meal guideline to go off of!
CSM: A lot of your followers are curious to
know these, if there’s any food and bever-
age that you cannot resist what would that
be and why?
LAUREN: I have a big sweet tooth. I have
my entire life, but I particularly love sweets
that incorporate fruit like berries, lemon or
banana. I also love a good steak and sushi.
I can turn down Shipley’s do-nuts or Central
Market cookies from the cookie bar when I
have to but I also love to indulge in them for
special occasions. As far as beverages I 100%
of the time drink water or BCAA’s.
CSM: Any advice to individuals who wants
to gain weight and lean muscle? Advise
to people who want to lose weight and be
sexy?
LAUREN: I would give the same advice to
both. Find a great coach who will do your
nutrition plan and make the commitment and
most importantly, stick to it. As far as the be-
ing sexy, just smile and love yourself no mat-
ter where you are because there is only one
you in the world and that fact alone makes
you sexy.
