Marni loves to throw together "earth bowls" made of spinach, tempeh, brown rice, roasted chickpeas, vegan aioli or hummus, and sweet potato. "Spinach has long been regarded as a plant which can restore energy, increase vitality and improve the quality of the blood," says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. "There are good reasons for this, such as the fact that spinach is rich in iron."
Marni follows a vegan diet and lifestyle. "It… dawned on me that I couldn't choose to love one species but allow the others to suffer for my own hunger," she says. "I think once you go vegan for one reason you usually get inspired by other aspects. For example I am now so much more aware of my global footprint and the environmental impacts of agriculture/farming."
Marni says she never travels without "face oil-free sunscreen, moisturizer, serums, tinted lip balm, blushes, highlighter and a glowy setting spray." She keeps her skin healthy by "drinking lots of water and using serums," which experts say can be very effective. "I definitely recommend serums for anyone who is concerned about aging. It's a really good way to get extra anti-aging effects, more than your typical moisturizer and sunscreen," says Dr. Abigail Waldman, instructor of dermatology at Harvard Medical School.
Marni enjoys vegan Lebanese dishes, which is considered part of the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet. "Overall, the Mediterranean diet is less processed compared to western diets as it is based on whole foods," says accredited practicing dietitian Anika Rouf. "But there's definitely more to the Mediterranean diet than we think. It's so much wider than just Greek and Italian cuisine, and may cover a lot of healthy Middle Eastern foods as well. Take Lebanese food for example. It's got quite a lot of fruits and vegetables compared to some other national cuisines. The other good thing about the traditional Lebanese diet is that it is rich in whole grains, olive oils, nuts and seeds."
Marni is an accomplished cook and loves to create delicious new vegan meals. "When people cook most of their meals at home, they consume fewer carbohydrates, less sugar and less fat than those who cook less or not at all – even if they are not trying to lose weight," says Julia A. Wolfson, MPP, a CLF-Lerner Fellow at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future.
