Heather Graham is showing off her yoga moves – and her hot body. In a new social media post the Drugstore Cowboy star flaunts her washboard abs in a two-piece yoga ensemble. “So grateful I got to go on a yoga retreat and meditate looking at the ocean with @soukofrima_ and @mjmasala @souk.studio.

She also wowed her followers with a bunch of swimsuit photos. “You still look exactly the same as you did in Boogie Nights and that was 27 years ago!!!Can you tell me where The Fountain of Youth is please?” asked one of her followers. “Still so damn fine 😍🤤🔥” added another. What is her secret to staying forever young? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Meditation

Transcendental meditation is a big part of Heather's self-care routine. “I’m kinda high-strung, so it’s easy to get anxious. But TM calms you down. It helps you find that peaceful place inside yourself – so whenever your life is going a bit crazy, it reminds you how to be really centered,” she told Today.

2. Yoga

Heather does yoga three times a week, with her sessions sometimes lasting several hours. "I'm obsessed with yoga. For fun, I would go on a yoga retreat and do four hours of yoga a day," she told Refinery29. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

3. Pilates

Graham is also a fan of pilates. A night out for her might be at a Pilates studio. “I also like going out dancing,” she told Refinery. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

4. Nine to 12 Hours of Sleep

Graham relies on beauty sleep to keep her looking and feeling rested. "I love sleeping," she told The Guardian. "When I tell people how much I sleep sometimes, they are horrified. I basically sleep between nine and 12 hours a night." What are the health benefits of sleep? According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z’s is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.

5. No Alcohol

Graham doesn’t drink alcohol. "Recently, I've stopped drinking," she told The Independent. "I'm kind of goofy enough to have fun without drinking. So by the time everyone gets relaxed, I'm like, 'OK, I was already there two hours ago.'"

6. No Complex Carbs

Heather avoids complex carbohydrates. "I’ve become one of those annoying people who’s like, 'I’m not gonna eat white flour and I’m not gonna eat sugar.' I do eat sugar sometimes, but as a broad rule, I try to just eat no sugar basically, and I have to say I feel a lot better. And I will sometimes eat things with white flour, but I try to avoid white flour,” she explained to Refinery29.

Heather Graham is 51, and still looks the same as she has for decades.
