Alicia Silverstone Says Her 7-Year-Old Son Has 'Never' Taken Medicine Thanks to Being Vegan

Alicia Silverstone credits her son's vegan diet for keeping him healthy.

The train Clueless star recently shared that her 7-year-old son, Bear, has "never" gotten sick or taken medicine. She thinks it's all about their vegan lifestyle.

"Silverstone told" Page Six. "He can get sniffles and a runny nose but he's not down, he still goes to school. Two times in his life, he's like, 'Mommy I'm not feeling good,' and it was only for a few hours and he was back running around. "

Silverstone herself has been vegan for over two decades. The 42-year-old actress changed her diet when she was 21 years old, and has continued to advocate for veganism since, even writing a vegan cookbook in 2009.

In a June interview with RedbookSilverstone explained that it was not overly strict with Bear's vegan diet.

"I'm really open to being a little bit flexible in the world." "When he's with other kids who are eating regular pizza – if there's no vegan pizza, I want to have pizza," she said. "I know other vegans might not agree with that or think it's okay, but I do not care.I just try to always make sure that you get some brown rice, some greens, and some beans And if he does that, I feel good, you do the best you can. "

"Mommy's passionate about life, and maybe that will inspire him to find his passion in life and live it to the fullest," she added.

Tea American Woman star shares Bear with her husband, Christopher Jarecki, whom she split with this year. Silverstone filed for divorce in May. See more in the video below.
