It’s no secret that running releases those feel-good endorphins we all love. But could this feeling be as addictive as a drug?

Scientists at Tufts University proved the theory to be true, by testing rats. While their experiments and hypotheses hold up, I’d like to test this theory on celebrities like Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Biel and Reese Witherspoon who can’t seem to stop running.

It’s a well-known fact the Fergie and Matthew McConaughey are two Hollywood celebrities that lead active lifestyles and strive to stay fit.  Now it seems that the pair has something more in common than being noted as public exercises and joggers.  According to People Magazine, they also are both fans of the drink Activate.

Activate is a purified water infused with a vitamin and mineral blend.  It’s reported that when vitamins sit in water for too long they lose their potency, so the beverage company worked around that issue by designing a unique cap that stores the vitamins.  Each time the cap is twisted open, vitamins drop from the cap into the water.  Activate is a five-calorie drink and comes in four different formulas:

Vitamin = Fruit punch

Immunity = Orange

Antioxidant = Berry

Energy = Lemon lime

Other things to note are that this new energy drink does contain caffeine, the sugar substitute Splenda, and has no gluten.

Celebrity Diet Doctor Weigh in…
Results of large scale studies with vitamin supplementation have been largely disappointing. In fact, vitamin supplementation has shown possible harm to human health. While vitamin supplemented waters and drinks have a nice marketing ring to them, I highly doubt that they will improve your health in any meaningful way. However, I am sure these products will be highly successful from a marketing angle offering customers the illusion of health… but make no mistake the majority of your vitamins and nutrition should come from whole unprocessed foods.

As you well know, the lean and trim Matthew McConaughey is easily spotted in public doing his daily workouts.  Be it while at work in Los Angeles or on the beach during a holiday Matthew is adamant about keeping fit and exercising on a regular basis.  He’s well known for his running, yoga and calisthenics on the beach but he’s also gaining a reputation for his eco-friendly lifestyle and support for organic foods. 

It seems that now the McConaughey family is also following the organic diet as reported by Ok! Magazine.  He and girlfriend Camila Alves have passed on their carbon-friendly footprints to their son, Levi.  Seven-month-old Levi is now on an all-organic diet with the help of Plum Organics line of baby food and according to sources Levi is partial to the flavors Mango Muesli and Pumpkin Banana.  It seems that Camila is also being careful as she tries to lose the last of her baby-weight from the pregnancy,

“Camila is more conscious than ever of what she’s putting in her body to help her lose the baby weight,” a pal of Matt and his gal of two years explains to OK!.

Hats off to the parents for starting a healthy plan for their son at such a young age.  It’s never too early nor too late to start eating right and also doing something to help the environment.
