LeAnn Rimes Fights Psoriasis with Healthy Lifestyle
Singer LeAnn Rimes has remained silent for a long time regarding her fight with psoriasis. But the 26-year-old has broken her silence by speaking to Shape magazine about it and joining the Stop Hiding and Start Living Campaign.
Having suffered from the chronic skin disease since she was 2-years-old, the Grammy Award winner only began controlling it (instead of it controlling her) within the last 5 years. How? By finding the right dermatologist and changing her lifestyle.
“There are 7 million Americans living with psoriasis and a lot of them are not getting treatment because they think it’s just a rash,” she told Shape.
But it’s more than a rash. Psoriasis can affect the quality of life the same way other chronic diseases such as depression, heart attacks and heart failure, hypertension or type 2 diabetes do. Rimes, however, manages the disease by alleviating as much stress from her life as she can. She told Shape she does yoga and completely cuts out fried, fatty food from her diet. She’s also constantly applies lotion to her skin and drinks water to keep it hydrated.
When touring, Rimes researches the gyms of the cities she’ll be visiting and tries to get in as much spinning, weight lifting, running and even Muay Thai kickboxing as she can.
Watch her Stop Hiding, Start Living video as she encourages everyone with psoriasis to live their lives to the fullest.
