Jennifer Aniston is embarking on a new healthy lifestyle and has cut out cigarettes and eliminated caffeine from her diet.

Aniston has expressed her new-found love of yoga is responsible for her efforts to make changes in other areas of her life.

And pals are convinced she means business after watching the 38-year-old in action on pal COURTNEY COX's TV drama DIRT recently.

"Instead, Jen was clinging to Courteney. She said how hard it was."

In addition to resisting the temptation to indulge in smoking, Aniston also managed to refrain from caffeine.

Allen adds, "I had a Diet Coke on-set and she was really jonesing (craving) for it!"
