In an interview with People Magazine, the former 'Friends' star revealed, "Sugar-laden treats were off-limits, and my plate was graced with spelt bread instead," recounting her upbringing in a holistic family environment. "I was raised in one of those comprehensive households... so I've somewhat lived by those principles," Aniston continued, reflecting on her parents, Nancy Dow and John Aniston.

The 'Murder Mystery' actress further shared that her mother instilled pivotal habits in her, particularly emphasizing hydration. "My mom ingrained in me the significance of drinking water since childhood, though more intensely during my teenage years," she recounted. This habit has so deeply integrated into Aniston's daily routine that she now finds herself remarkably sensitive to individuals who shun water. "I've become exceptionally aware of people who don't drink water, given my lifelong affinity for it," she confessed.

The Emmy Award winner elaborated, "I have girlfriends who simply can't stomach water; they dislike its taste. It's as if I have to remind them, 'It's just water!' and I consistently urge, 'You must hydrate. Hydration is non-negotiable.'"
