Los Angeles, Jan 23 (PTI) Actress Jessica Alba says the only reason she works out is to stay mentally fit.
The 34-year-old "Sin City" star said she has never been obsessed with fitness and does not mind having cheat days, reported ET online.
"I'm healthy, but I don't go to extremes. I exercise for my mental health, but can mow through a box of cookies with the best of them," Alba said.
Not only herself, but for the actress health of her kids is also important.
"My kids are my top priority. Their health and well-being come first," the mother to 7-year-old Honor and 4-year-old Haven said.
Apart from leading a healthy lifestyle, Alba has also taught her daughters the importance of being eco-friendly.
"I try to teach my girls by doing. We fill water bottles instead of buying new ones, recycle and talk about what products are safe and unsafe for them and the earth.
