Richards went through a bad public divorce from ex-husband Charlie Sheen, which she wrote about in her memoir. She said to Self, “I share many of my memoirs from my childhood till now. Regarding my marriage, I share the good memories but also my divorce. Not the details, more the feelings. Many women go through divorce and it’s heartbreaking to go through. I hope everyone who’s been through what I’ve been through will have hope that it will be better.” the National Library of Medicine states: “The experience of separation or divorce confers a risk of poor health, including a 23% higher mortality rate. However, most people do well and are resilient after their marriage or long-term relationship ends. most common answer, a small percentage of people (about 10-15%) struggle quite significantly, and it appears that the overall high health risks are due to poor functioning in this group.

Richards revealed to Self her diet tips that are working for her and cutting out big meals is one way she can stay in shape. “I have a lot of small meals, that’s best for me. I found that by eating three large meals, I felt too full and felt tired, especially after lunch. ” According to UCLA Health“The principle behind eating smaller, more frequent meals is controlling blood sugar, also known as blood sugar. It refers to glucose, a type of sugar extracted from the foods we eat. When digestion is complete, glucose is transported through the bloodstream and throughout the body to provide energy to our cells and organs. When blood sugar drops, hunger and cravings increase. By eating six small meals a day, it is believed, you ensure that blood sugar is available at all times. By controlling the cravings trigger, you’ll eat less and be less likely to give in to the siren song of that bag of chips or that bar of chocolate.”
While Richards eats healthy, clean meals regularly, she doesn’t completely eliminate everything from her diet. She said to Self, “My cheat food is ice cream, but I found these tiny snack-sized cones that Haagen-Dazs came out with.” Northwest Medicine States, “Research shows that after a cheat meal, the body increases its metabolism, causing you to burn calories faster. This is caused by increased levels of leptin, a hormone secreted by fat cells and responsible for maintaining energy balance in the body. After eating a larger meal than usual, your body increases leptin production by up to 30% for 24 hours.”
