How Does Demi Lovato Stay Healthy On The Road?

Posted by andPOP Staff on October 13th, 2011

Demi Lovato has a blog in Seventeen where she opens up about her life. In a recent post, Demi reveals how she keeps healthy while on the road.

“I try to make time for naps if I have to get up really early,” she says. “I also make sure to drink hot tea with honey when I am talking a lot during interviews or singing on stage every day. And luckily, dancing and staying active also helps me to feel healthy and happy. But performing takes a lot of energy so I have to make sure I eat enough and get plenty of sleep.”

Demi Lovato Tells Ellen She Wants To Be A Teenage Role Model

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 18th, 2011

Demi Lovato wants to be a role model for teenage girls.

“There was nobody out there for me to look at and say maybe this is unhealthy,” Lovato, who battled eating disorders, says on an episode of the The Ellen DeGeneres Show scheduled to air Tuesday. “I want to be that for a 13-year old girl at home deciding whether or not to eat dinner, or an 18-year-old girl deciding whether or not to keep her breakfast down.”

When Lovato finished treatment, she decided to be outspoken about the pressure she was facing.

“It was the time in the tabloids when very, very skinny girls were on the cover of every magazine, and that’s what I was looking up to,” she says. “That’s what I had to idolize. I don’t want that for young girls to idolize.”

However, she is grateful she received help.

“But if I hadn’t gone into treatment,” she continues, “I don’t know if, one, I’d even be sitting here today, [or] two, if I’d be alive today.”

Demi Lovato Reaches Out to Catherine Zeta Jones

Posted by Christian Allaire on April 15th, 2011

Demi Lovato has reached out to Catherine Zeta Jones via Twitter, after the star announced she was entering a rehab facility for her Bipolar II disorder.

Lovato, who also entered a rehab facility this year for an eating disorder, tweeted “I don’t know Catherine Zeta-Jones personally but what she has decided to do it SO brave.. And SO difficult but worth it… I’m proud of her.”

Jones’ publicist announced earlier this week that “after dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her Bipolar II disorder. She’s feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her two upcoming films.”

It’s a fresh change to see younger starlets reach out to older stars – something you don’t see very often. I commend Jones for being so public with her disorder, it’s definitely nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. I just feel bad for her, from her husband Michael Douglas going through cancer to now dealing with this, she hasn’t had a great year. Jones is a fabulous actress and a respected member of the film scene though, so I’m sure she’ll bounce back in no time.

Study Shows Teenagers Embarrassed By Perspiration

Posted by Michael Levine on June 24th, 2005

The results of a survey released last week by Certain Dri show that more than 3 million teens between the age of 12 and 18, sweat uncontrollably or above normal amounts, while 14 million teens claim their perspiration is a problem. Statistics already show that as much as 3 per cent of the U.S. population is diagnosed with hyperhidrosis, which is when the body produces more sweat in various places on a person’s body.

“Perspiring is a normal body function, needed to regulate body temperature and keep us cool,” explains Michael Spigarelli, M.D., an adolescent medicine specialist and member of the Society of Adolescent Medicine. “In warmer weather, our body works harder to do this, usually resulting in more noticeable perspiration. Some teens produce more sweat than others, even in a cooler environment.”

“This excessive perspiration or perception of excessive perspiration can be harmful to self-confidence in adolescents and teens,” he adds.

The study revealed that 11 per cent – both male and female – say that the types of clothing worn is directly related to the amount of perspiration their body produces.

“Our bodies — particularly in hot weather — can lose up to a quart of fluid per day, but this is just the average for those individuals who have ‘normal’ perspiration,” explains David Bank, M.D., dermatologist and director of The Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser Surgery, and medical consultant to Certain Dri(R) Antiperspirant Roll-On.

“Someone with excessive perspiration, or hyperhidrosis, as it’s called, will perspire even more. For the millions of people (teens and adults) with this perspiration condition, the summer months and the skin-bearing wardrobes that come along with the season are a dreaded time.”

Dr. Bank suggests teens try some or all of the following techniques to help tame the sweat:

- Wear loose clothing
- Do not sit in direct sunlight
- Apply a cornstarch based body powder
- Participate in relaxation activities such as yoga
- Maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle
