The actor is all about living a healthy lifestyle. For starters, he’s not much of a junk food fan. “We have to make it cool to care about what you put in your body. A lot of foods that are processed are not designed for your body,” said Morales. The actor also revealed that he has since changed his dietary habits, cutting down on salt, refined sugar, and anything highly fatty. As part of the Esai Morales diet plan, he only consumes proteins, complex carbs, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables on the side.
