In 2009, Saldana said she would avoid plastic surgery, telling Women's Health magazine "God as my witness, I am going to try to do everything I can to keep this ass together for as long as I possibly can—without going against nature."[17] She watches what she eats but does not diet and does Pilates regularly saying "It's the closest thing to dance."[17]

Saldana is a celebrity supporter of FINCA International, a microfinance organization.[58]
