    Alexis prepares her own food to make sure that she knows what she is eating. And, mostly she eats healthy food. She cooks her food almost every day. This does not mean she never goes out in a restaurant. Alexis mostly prefers to go out for a drink. Just because, she knows what is being poured into her glass. In this way, she can remain healthy for a long time or we can say forever.
