While talking on Good Morning America, she said, “What I’m hoping is that people realize that this is a lifestyle.

In her own words, “Eat good food because food is medicine. You’re either adding to your well-being or reducing your well-being.” Avoid Processed Food Danica follows a paleo diet, which was something she wanted to try out for a couple of weeks before it became a permanent plan. “Paleo is based on the idea that you only eat foods that were available to ancient man before the invention of agriculture. So no grains, no dairy, no beans or legumes, no added sugars or preservatives. Instead, you focus on naturally raised meats, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. My intention was to only do it for a week or two to reset my body with less sugar and more veggies. Well . . . I felt so good, and saw such amazing results, that I never quit.” Instagram Workout Danica avoids missing her exercises. According to her, the frequent workouts are “not about driving” but about becoming the best version of herself. She does “7 workouts each week—upper body, lower body, abs, 3 interval cardio sessions, and one long circuit. They are all designed to be intense and over within about 20 min, except for the long circuit which will last about 30-45.” Drink Greens The race car driver is a big fan of her greens, especially spinach. In an interview, Danica explains how she blends her spinach. “I’ll put three big handfuls of spinach in the blender, and only enough ice and water to get the spinach to make spin.” Danica Patrick’s Career as a Professional Racing Driver THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, (from left): Danica Patrick, host David Letterman, (aired Apr. 23, 2008), 1993-. photo: Jeffrey Staab / © CBS / Courtesy: Everett Collection Danica is considered to be the most successful woman in the history of American open-wheel car racing.
