Lauralee Bell is sharing gratitude in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the Young and the Restless star shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while vacationing with her family. “Thank you family (and friends who are family) Spending time together is my favorite thing! 🏝️❤️All parents understand when kids go off to college and/or start having their own lives we wait for these moments to be together,” she captioned the Instagram video. How has the star, 54, approached health and wellness over the years? Celebwell rounded up her top health habits.

1. These Are the Two Secrets to Her Longevity

At 54, Bell maintains that two things are responsible for her longevity. “I have to just really eat well and lift weights and try to last,” she told Deadline.

2. Exercise Changes Her Face

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times many years ago, Bell explained that exercise changed her face. “It sounds so strange but after working out, an awful lot changed. I lost baby fat. My face changed. My hairdresser asked if I had my eyes enlarged because suddenly they were so big on camera. I just changed,” she said.

3. Exercise Also Boosts Her Mind

“It’s amazing. When you strengthen your body, you strengthen your mind. I became more independent. I became stronger, more vocal in terms of my beliefs,” she added about the mental benefits of breaking a sweat.

4. She Exercises a Few Times a Week

Bell said that she works out three times a week. “I eat differently now so I don’t have to work out as much. I get there 20 minutes before my trainer to walk the treadmill. And then I lift weights. I leg press a lot, close to 200 pounds. And I do barbells anywhere from 5 to 25 pounds. One day we’ll do shoulders and legs and then the next day we’ll do arms and butt. When I’m watching TV I’ll crank out 100 or 200 sit-ups during commercial breaks,” she added.

5. She Walks

She also walks on the treadmill and outside. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

6. She Eats Healthy

Bell detailed her diet to the Los Angeles Times. “At home I’ll have Shredded Wheat or Grape Nuts for breakfast--that to me is the biggest treat--and nonfat milk. Orange juice and coffee. If I’m [on the set] it’s very easy to order egg whites or granola or oatmeal,” she said. “Then for lunch I’ll bring turkey hot dogs and spinach and brown rice vegetable patties, which I heat up in the microwave, and a salad or vegetable. And I drink a lot of diet Coke. Dinner, I eat a lot of fish--like this weekend I had swordfish--and a lot of meat and chicken and vegetables. I just won’t have the potato or bread. I really like red and white wine. And every once in a while I have to do something like pizza or Doritos or Oreos. And I eat a lot of licorice.”

Czech model Paulina Porizkova is one of the most famous models in the world. She’s appeared in campaigns for Estee Lauder and on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Even in her 50s, Porizkova is still looking incredible. The model posted a photo on Instagram of her laying in bed naked, looking stunning, captioning the pic with an ode to mattresses.

1. She Practices Intermittent Fasting

Porizkova, like many other celebrities, is a fan of intermittent fasting, which means going a period of the day without food. Porizkova said on her Instagram, "I do the 16:8 diet, which just means basically that you don't eat for 16 hours and then you eat for eight. I generally take it as I eat whatever I want for eight hours because I like food, but I also kind of tend to like more healthy food." Porizkova says that this diet is easy for her to follow. "I did get hungry at first when I first started doing this diet. I'd kind of obsess about food, but then it sort of evens out. Now, I don't even think about it. In fact, I'm not at all hungry until 16 hours later when I do get hungry."

2. She Loves Vegan Smoothies

Porizkova said on Instagram that she likes to break her fasts with a smoothie. She revealed that she loves vegan smoothies, specifically from Splendid Spoon. “They have all different flavors, this specific one is blackberry basil,” she says. “They also have these soups or noodles or rice, too—they have a whole bunch of stuff. It’s all vegan, it’s really good for you. It’s very healthy and I do this so I can go out to dinner and have whatever I want.”

3. She Does A Lot of Different Exercises

Porizkova admits to Elle that she didn’t really start exercising until she was 40. “I never did anything before that. Just cigarettes and poor nutrition. I could eat whatever I wanted because I smoked.” Porizkova says participating in Dancing with the Stars inspired her to exercise, and that she does a lot of different types of exercises. She says, “I still dance. I've done boxing. I've done rowing. You name it, I've done it. Except for running. I don't like running. It doesn't feel good to me. It feels bad on my knees. I'd rather do Zumba. And Bollywood dancing is a great way to get the aerobic part done. I do some really hard rowing classes. It's become something that's like brushing my teeth. It's something I have to do.”

4. She Works Out To Help Her Mental Health

Porizkova admitted to Elle that she’s struggled with her mental health in the past, and that working out has helped her with this. She says, “I started exercising to help with my panic attacks and to get off antidepressants. I found out if I worked out everyday my anxiety was kept a lot at bay. And I felt better. So how great is that?”

5. She Embraces Aging

Porizkova says that she doesn’t mind getting older, and has embraced it. She posted a bikini photo on Instagram and captioned it, “Combat age. Reverse aging. Rejuvenate. Anti age. None of this is possible. Yet, if you do an internet search on aging, this is what you‘ll get. Pills, potions and workouts to fight the aging process. You know what the only way to stop aging? Dying.” Porizkova continued, “I do not want to fight myself everyday for the rest of my life. But I do want to make the best of what I was given. And I want to shine a bright light in the dark corners of the shame that is heaped on women for daring to age.”

How does the Aussie manage to look decades younger? Read on to see 13 ways Elle Macpherson stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Has An Inside-Out Approach to Health

In a recent interview with Vogue, Elle revealed that she approaches health from the inside out. “My beauty routine, which is really a wellness routine disguised as a beauty routine, because I truly believe that when you're well within, it shows on your skin,” she said. In the morning she takes a “little swig” of an ION Biome, which she claims is important because “it supports your gut,” prepping it for other vitamins and supplements.

2. Hot Water and Lemon Is Her Morning Elixir

“The first thing I have is hot water and lemon when I wake up, then my Super Elixir greens and a matcha tea. Sometimes I have cap-full of apple cider vinegar in water if I’m feeling like I’m inflamed,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

3. She Drinks a Lot of Water

Elle also prioritizes hydration. “I drink three litres of water a day,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

4. She Uses a Crystal Water Bottle

Elle uses a special water bottle for her H2O, which supposedly infuses positive energy into it. “I'm gonna fill up my bottle with some water,” she explained in her Vogue video. “I use a crystal bottle.” The concept behind the expensive water bottles is that positive energy is infused into them.

5. She Practices Lymphatic Drainage

“So for me, circulation is key,” Elle revealed to Vogue. “Lymphatic drainage is really, really important. You've got to move those toxins out of your body, it will show on your skin, it will show in the way you feel,” she says. One way she does it? With a dry body brush.

6. She Prioritizes Wellness

“I believe in maintenance, I’m not a big binge and purge person,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I think it’s really important to maintain wellness year-round. Not because it looks good but it actually feels good – which is really important when you’re running a business and you’ve got kids and a full life. It’s easy – I just make good choices and I enjoy the choices that I make.”

7. Her Diet Is Alkaline and Plant-Based

“I really enjoy a plant-based diet, I love vegetables,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “If I’m really in my groove, I love a raw, plant-based diet,” she added to New Beauty. “That’s how I feel best. I eat grains, nuts, seeds, beans, vegetables, almond milk, hemp milk, chia seeds. I make my own granola in a dehydrator. Avocado, salads, juicing—you know, beautiful, whole, natural foods. As far as animal products are concerned, I’ll have a poached egg every now and then, some Parmesan cheese and goat cheese, but they’re not staples of my diet.”

8. She Gives Up Wheat and Sugar for Summer

Elle makes dietary sacrifices right before swimsuit season. “Coming up for summer what I try to cut out is wheat and sugar. If you love bread and butter, that would be what I’d give up for the summer. For me it’s a ‘fine tune’ more than anything else,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

9. She Curbed Her Craving for Sugar with Supplements

Elle claims that taking Super Elixir green supplements keeps her sugar cravings away. “Since I’ve been taking the Super Elixir I don’t crave sugar anymore and so when I have cheap sugar now I just don’t like the taste,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “Sugar is addictive but breaking that addiction only takes about three days. Do a week of taking the Super Elixir greens and then try to give up sugar, it’s usually pretty successful.”

10. Take a Hot Shower or Steam Nightly

Another way Elle practices lymphatic drainage is via steam or a hot shower. “I have a steam most nights, and while I'm in the steam, while my body is sweating, I'll put oil on it and then I'll use the body Gua Sha, the same way as I use the lymphatic drainage brush,” she told Vogue.

11. As You Age, Change Your Routine

Elle emphasizes the importance of evolving your routine as you age. “When I turned 50, I started to notice some new changes in my body. I was sugar addicted, sleep deprived, adrenally stressed, and it showed, you know, it showed on my skin, it showed in my body, and I was doing the same things I've been doing since I was 20, and they just weren't working anymore,” she told Vogue. “I changed my lifestyle and within a few months, people started to say to me, God, you look amazing, and what are you doing, and I realized there were so many women that must've been struggling like I was and I wanted to share it with other people, so that is the birth of WelleCo.”

12. Gain Weight As You Age

“I like to be a little bit more rosy and round, because I think at my age, it's just you know, it's more appealing to look less gaunt, so I've noticed that I've put on weight as I've gotten older and that old adage,” she explained. “You have to choose between your a** and your face is kind of true [laughs] because if I'm too thin, it really shows in my face, so I keep it round and rosy and fresh.”

13. She Enjoys Outdoor Fitness

Elle isn’t a big fan of formal exercise. “I do sports like water skiing, running, cycling, swimming laps, snow skiing if it’s winter, walking the dogs – I just love to be outdoors,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “If I’m lucky enough to be by the sea, I think walking in seawater is one of the best things I can do for my body. It tones the legs and the waist, it’s great for minerals, and if you have any water retention, it’s a great diuretic. I walk in about thigh-deep or knee-deep water for 40 minutes to an hour,” she added to New Beauty.

Emily Rose Lansley is a facialist, nail expert, and tanning expert. She’s known for her incredible skin. In an Instagram video, she shared some of the habits she has that keep her skin looking amazing. In the video, Lansley is seen in a black workout bra and bike shorts, her impressive abs on display. She captioned the post, “My top tips for glowing skin.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Emily Rose Lansley stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Stays Hydrated

In her Instagram post, Lansley revealed that she makes sure to stay hydrated in order to keep her skin healthy. “Stay hydrated. Add electrolytes to your water. Hydration is vital for improved skin health. My favourites are @ancientandbrave and @rejuvenateduk.” Harvard Health states, “Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood.”

2. She Works Out Regularly

In her Instagram post, Lansley revealed that she works out on a regular basis. “Daily movement. Get your lymphatic system moving! I am officially addicted to @tenhealthfitness.” The Mayo Clinic states, “Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.”

3. She Eats Fruit

Lansley shares some of her favorite foods in an Instagram story highlight, “Skin food.” In a lot of the photos, she’s seen eating fruit. Harvard Health reports, “A diet rich in vegetables and fruits can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a positive effect upon blood sugar, which can help keep appetite in check. Eating non-starchy vegetables and fruits like apples, pears, and green leafy vegetables may even promote weight loss. Their low glycemic loads prevent blood sugar spikes that can increase hunger.”

4. She Uses Eye Masks

Eye masks. Reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other premature signs of aging. I keep mine in the fridge and like to use first thing in the morning to reduce puffiness but they’re also a great way to help you unwind and relax in the evening!

5. She Uses A Sauna

Lansley spends a lot of time in saunas, and they help with her skin. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post, “I have been in the sauna everyday the past few days and I have slept like a baby every night and my skin is glowing. Beauty Tip: Sauna + A cold shower + invigorating body scrub, = silky, glowing skin.” The Mayo Clinic states that saunas have other benefits. “Emerging evidence suggests that beyond its use for pleasure, sauna bathing may be linked to several health benefits, which include reduction in the risk of vascular diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and neurocognitive diseases; nonvascular conditions such as pulmonary diseases; mortality; as well as amelioration of conditions such as arthritis, headache, and flu.”
