The 'Bones' tv show star, Emily Deschanel, talks organic living, performing and living with her sister Zoey Deschanel (yes, Zoey is her sister!) with Health magazine.

Q: You’re vegan—are you an ideal eater?

A: Oh my god, I’m not a perfect eater by any means, and I don’t believe in starving yourself. I believe in eating healthfully and being balanced—and being balanced in your mind as well as in your body. Because I think you can become obsessed with being a certain size, but what is being healthy? It’s exercising and eating well, but also not obsessing about those things!

Q: What are the most everyday ways you’ve gone green?

A: I’ve been vegan for 15 years, and it turns out it makes a very big impact on the environment to eat fewer animal products, which cause more greenhouse gases than all of transportation combined. The United Nations did a study just over two years ago, and that blew my mind. I started thinking that if people are vegetarian for one day a week, that makes a huge difference!

Q: Going green can get pricey. Have any favorite thrifty tips?

A: Buying used clothes is cheaper. And going to a farmers’ market is a lot cheaper than going to a pricier health-food market.

Q: What would you say is your proudest green achievement?

A: Getting the head of Fox, Peter Liguori, to go vegan. We were at a party, and I said, ‘You’d make a big difference by just trying it for a week.’ I sent him food, and he really stuck to it.

Q: Do you have any natural remedies for a headache?

A: I always ask myself, “Have I had enough water?” Dehydration is a big cause of headaches. And I look at my tension: “Am I holding tension in my neck?” If so, I’ll go out and get a massage.

Q: What’s your favorite natural beauty trick?

A: I tried something that a facialist recommended: You take a strawberry, bite off the end, and then rub the strawberry around your face. It’s like a nice enzyme treatment, and there’s a natural scrub from the seeds.
