“I try to do something for my health every day, even if it’s just resting or taking a bath or making sure I eat spinach at some point,” the Brazilian beauty said. “I really do think happiness starts from the inside out.”
Camila admitted in the past to suffering from bulimia in her high school and college years. But her eating disorder crept back into her life when she started acting. Nevertheless, she regularly attends sessions with her nutritionist and therapist to help her through her issues.
