While most notably a movie star, Kate Hudson has made a name for herself in the health and wellness space for decades, from pioneering Fabletics to most recently being a co-founder of nutritional powder brand INBLOOM. The plant-based products are now available at Whole Foods<\/a>, and to celebrate, we chatted with Hudson through an exclusive email Q&A.\n<\/p>\n We especially wanted to hear more about the actor and entrepreneur\u2019s day-to-day routines and how she\u2019s able to start her busy days on the right foot. When asked about her ideal morning, Hudson surprised us by sharing a warm lemon water beverage she drinks every day, as well as her incredibly grounding daily rituals.\n<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I\u2019m home, my morning routine is simple,\u201d Hudson tells EatingWell. \u201cI wake around 6 a.m. and do some sort of meditation practice while I drink warm water with lemon. I also try not to look at my phone during this time.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Meditation is a mindful and free way to decrease stress and improve your focus<\/a>. Because it\u2019s a stress-reducing practice, it can also lower your blood pressure<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n We love Hudson\u2019s choice of drink, which is a combination of two ingredients you probably already have on hand. Warm lemon water<\/a> is a hydrating choice to start the day, and water paired with lemon\u2019s vitamin C content is great for your skin health and immune health. Drinking any warm beverage, including coffee, tea or plain warm water, can help aid\u00a0healthy digestion<\/a>, and Hudson\u2019s choice of warm lemon water is another gut-friendly example.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n \u201cThen about an hour after I wake up, I’ll have coffee or tea and walk outside barefoot and do sun gazing, which is one of my new favorite things to do before my kids wake up,\u201d she explains. Hudson goes on to express why she loves to go outside after dawn and turn toward the sun for her health.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n \u201cSun gazing is a great new thing I do in the morning: It\u2019s beneficial for your circadian rhythm and sets your body up for the day,\u201d she says. Research on sunlight\u2019s positive benefits for sleep found that exposure to more sunlight during the day can help with sleep duration. What\u2019s more, absorbing sun earlier in the day can help you fall asleep faster in the evening.\n<\/p>\n Her go-to breakfast is, of course, a protein shake with INBLOOM protein powder. Alongside her own powders and blends, Hudson keeps her kitchen stocked with healthy snacks for her family to eat throughout the day, including fresh fruits and vegetables.\n<\/p>\n \u201cIn my refrigerator, I cut carrots, cucumber, j\u00edcama and peppers in Mason jars with a little water at the bottom and cut fruit such as mango, pineapple and berries, and when the kids want a snack, I tell them to open up the fridge,\u201d she says. \u201cWe also love the Siete Grain Free Churro Strips, Barbara\u2019s Original Cheese Puffs, and Parmesan crisps.\u201d\n<\/p>\n As for her nighttime routine, Hudson keeps it simple: \u201cIt varies, but I like to get into bed really early and try to read before I go to sleep. It\u2019s hard sometimes because I\u2019m obsessed with home furniture and looking at live auction sites\u2014not to buy anything, but to browse and see what\u2019s out there.\u201d We can completely relate to that!\n<\/p>\n With the launch of their products in Whole Foods Market, we asked Hudson what\u2019s next in store for INBLOOM?\n<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s the beginning of the expansion of the brand, and I can\u2019t wait to reach more people because we will be in Whole Foods Market and more accessible to our consumer,\u201d Hudson says, emphasizing that it \u201cfeels really good\u201d to be able to take a step toward the brand\u2019s mission of \u201cmaking wellness more accessible.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \u201cIn the future, everything that we\u2019re going to formulate will be set at the same standard as everything we\u2019ve done to date, which will always be the highest quality,\u201d she continues. \u201cI\u2019d like to innovate and start looking into the things that people aren\u2019t really knowledgeable about that would be beneficial to their routines. I also want to be specific; I don\u2019t want to create a ton of products for the sake of creating more products. I want to be very purposeful on how we build out our portfolio.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
