It was a few years ago since Alison Sweeney moved her family from California to Arizona – and she hasn't regretted it a bit.

In an exclusive interview with FOX News Digital, the former “Days of our Life” star, 48, opened her decision to leave Los Angeles and explained why she prioritized health and well -being before the Hollywood hype these days.

“I mean, no [I don’t miss Hollywood]”SWEENEY, who recently worked with Align Probiotics for her latest campaign, said to Fox News Digital.” I miss my family. I love my family. I visit them all the time, but they are not really in Hollywood or whatever. So, no, I'm thrilled with my life. I love how normal it is. “

The actress gave her acting debut at the age of four when she landed a role in a Kodak commercial. From there she found a great success with various film and television functions, including the role of Sami at the long-standing soap opera. “Days of our life. “

In 2019, the former moderator of “largest loser” told Fox News Digital that she had taught her to be a children's actor “that there is always someone who is prettier and thinner and chic”.

She said she could fight this by gradually learning to believe in herself and what she had to offer and find out how to “find” this trust in itself. And when other childhood stars succumb to the temptations of the ramp light, Sweeney said that her family was really significant to help her keep her head straight.

“I was really lucky. I come from LA, so it wasn't a big story of the water, and my parents are very grounded and normal and real and hard and strict,” she said. “I was never left out alone to find out. I was always really led by my brothers and my parents, who were all very loving.”

Nowadays SWEENEY enjoys normality and continues to prioritize their health and well -being.

“I am a busy mother and I work all the time and you really don't have much time so that your intestinal health is not aligned,” said Sweeney, who shares two children with her husband David Sanov. “And so it was a great partnership [with Align Probiotics] Because I take care of my health. All you are reading are people who try to be healthier, people who try to understand their body better. And one of the things I learned from “The Biggest Loser” is that you get signs out of your body. Your body tries to communicate with you. It tries to help you. “

“And if you listen to this sign, you can make a lot of better decisions for yourself,” she continued. “It is very important to stay active, I will not knock it, but I think the diet is number one for your health and eat well. I am not really hip in the Hollywood scene, but what I noticed with mothers with whom I am friends with and only other everyday women is only more aware that their diet can make a difference in the way they feel and their health.”

“Communication is the key,” she said. “I know that this may be too cheesy to say, but only to stay in touch, to speak all the time, to check the little things. I have always said that gestures are so important, but it's not romantic.” Oh, bring me flowers every week. ” They are small things, he calculates my phone for me if I can't find it.
