Shailene Woodley eats clay daily to stay healthy

The Descendants star Shailene Woodley has revealed that she eats clay as it helps her body to excrete unnecessary materials. The 22-year-old actress talked about her clay-eating habit during her appearance on a chat show earlier this week, reported Ace Showbiz. “I do eat clay. Clay is one of my favorites because if you look at indigenous cultures around the world, they eat clay almost daily,” she said.

Woodley also explained that she ordered the edible clay from a company, which obtains the material from Colorado. She eats a teaspoon of clay a day in addition to using it as toothpaste. “Clay binds to other materials in your body and helps your body excrete those materials that are not necessarily the best for you,” she added. Woodley next will be seen in The Fault in Our Stars.
