好莱坞有不少热衷于环保的明星:莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥坚持使用有机及循环再生产品,还在屋顶上安装了太阳能电池;布拉德·皮特与安吉丽娜·朱莉夫妇积极推动修建环保建筑,并曾斥巨资在新奥尔良修建了150幢环保住宅;娜塔莉·波特曼为拯救卢旺达的大猩猩不遗余力,还为素食主义者设计了“环保高跟鞋”……我们的谢琳·伍德蕾其实也是一位崇尚自然的生活方式、注重环保的人,而且她的环保行动既经济实惠又简单易行,普通人也可以做到。一起来跟这位地球天使学习学习吧!
If I wasn't an actress, I'd probably do something with food. Finding seeds, planting seeds, watching them grow, harvesting the fruits, cooking the fruits, eating them, seeing how my body react and even digesting. I'm fascinated with the entire process. I would open a place like Moon Juice1) and have an elixir2) bar where people could come in and say "My tooth aches" and I would be able to help them. I've been an avid environmentalist since high school, and through that, I learned about agriculture, and about how corrupt the food system is in America. I thought, "Well, if this is unhealthy, and that is unhealthy, and if organics are depleting3) the soil just as much as GMO4) crops are, what can I do?" I started studying the lifestyles of indigenous5) cultures, and through that, herbalism. That empowered me to make my own beauty products—how could I make my own lotion with medicinal properties?
For example, clay is one of the best things you can put in your body. One of my friends was making a kind of clay toothpaste that you swallow instead of spit out. I've discovered that clay is great for you because your body doesn't absorb it, and it apparently provides a negative charge, so it bonds to negative isotopes6). And, this is crazy: It also helps clean heavy metals out of your body. However, you should obviously be careful about your source. Bentonite7) clay is good.
I love a natural way to heal. You can do something called "oil pulling" where you swish8) coconut or sesame oil in your mouth when you wake up and spit it out. It's amazing! It really makes your teeth whiter, because the plaque9) on your teeth is not water-soluble10), it's fat-soluble. So the lipids11) have to dissolve in fats, which is why oil works in your mouth. I prefer sesame oil, but they're both good. Another thing I like to do is give my body a little vitamin D. If you're feeling depleted, go in the sun for an hour and see how much energy you get. Or, if you live in a place that has heavy winters, when the sun finally comes out, spread your legs and get some sunshine.
Hair-wise12), I'm very lucky. My mom is 45 and she doesn't have a single grey hair on her head. It's the most beautiful, thick, strawberry blond13). I basically have horse hair. It's so low-maintenance14). The less I put in it, the better. I only shampoo it like once a month—the oilier, the better.
如果不当演员,我很可能会做一些和食物相关的工作。搜罗种子,种下它们,看着它们生长,收获果实,对果实加以烹调,把它们吃下去,感受我的身体是如何做出反应的,还有消化。我对这整个过程非常着迷。我想开一家类似“月亮果汁”那样的店,还要有一张出售灵丹妙药的柜台,当人们走进店里说“我牙疼”时,我就能帮助他们。从高中时起,我就是个环保积极分子,并由此接触了农业知识,了解到如今的美国食品体系是何等的不堪。我就想:“好吧,如果这也不健康,那也不健康,如果有机农作物和转基因作物一样都在耗尽我们的土地资源,我该怎么办呢?”我开始研究原住民的生活方式,并进而学习了草药的用法,这使我能够制作自己的美容产品——我怎样才能调制出属于我自己的、有药用功效的涂剂呢?
例如,黏土是你可以摄入体内的最好的物质之一。我的一个朋友制作过一种黏土牙膏,你可以把它吞下去而不用吐出来。我发现黏土对人有好处,因为它不会被人体吸收,还明显能提供负电荷,因此可以与带负电的同位素相结合。还有一点很厉害:它还有助于把重金属从你的体内清除出去。不过,你一定得注意你所使用的黏土的来源,膨润土就不错。
我喜欢自然疗法。早上起床后,你可以采用一种叫做“油拔”的疗法,即用椰子油或芝麻油漱口,然后把油吐出去。它的效果很神奇!这么做真的能使你的牙齿变得更白,因为你牙齿上的牙菌斑不是水溶性的,而是脂溶性的。而脂类需要用脂类来溶解,这就是油在你口中奏效的原因。我个人比较喜欢用芝麻油,但这两种油都不错。另一件我喜欢做的事是为我的身体补充一点维生素D。当你感到精疲力尽时,出去晒一个小时的太阳,看看你会变得多有活力吧。或者,如果你住的地方冬季漫长、阴郁,当太阳终于出来时,伸展你的双腿晒晒太阳吧。
至于头发嘛,我很幸运。我妈妈已经45岁了(编注:英文原文发表于2014年),头上没有一根白发。她的头发浓密,是那种最漂亮的略带金黄色的红发。我的头发总体而言又粗又硬,几乎不用怎么打理,我用的护发产品越少发质就越好。我大概一个月只用一次洗发液,头发越油越好。
