Heather Graham Shares Swimsuit Photo for "Hot Tomato Girl Summer"

Heather Graham is looking gorgeous as always on a summer vacation in beautiful Greece. Graham, 53, shared highlights from her trip, including some envy-inspiring swimsuit photos. One picture shows the actress posing in a tomato-red bikini, and in another she’s wearing a white knit bikini on the beach. “Hot tomato girl summer 🍅🇬🇷❤️🍝,” she captioned the post. How does Graham stay so fit? Here are 5 ways she takes care of herself, inside and out.

1. Yoga Every Day

Graham is a decades-long yogi. “I absolutely love yoga,” she says. “I can practice properly on my own, but I do like the energy of a class. My yoga teacher in LA is a friend, and I’ve often said her classes are like healthy raves. She plays upbeat music, which not a lot of yoga teachers do, and it distracts you from the pain. I’ve discovered a lot of great musicians through yoga classes. You get into a sort of athletic euphoria. I guess you’re releasing endorphins – a good backbend will do that to you.”

2. Lots of Sleep

Graham swears by getting proper sleep for her ageless looks. “I think one of the main things is sleep,” she says. “I try to get a lot of sleep. Beyond that, I think just being happy on the inside and whatever. I do all the self-help stuff: I meditate, I do yoga, I work through all the stuff in therapy. I do all the different kinds of sorting through my inner world to make myself feel happy on the inside. And it’s important to me to surround myself with loving people.”

3. Home Cooking

Graham loves cooking her own meals at home. “Guacamole’s a bit of an obsession of mine,” she says. “I make loads of it. I cook healthy food, and love getting creative with salads – one of my favorites is a salad with broccoli, hazelnuts, feta cheese and cherry tomatoes. It’s delicious. I also make a really good endive, beetroot, walnut, and blue-cheese combination.”

4. Growing Her Own Vegetables

Graham has a green thumb, and enjoys growing her own fruits and vegetables. “Gardening relaxes me,” she says. “I have a really lovely garden at my house in LA, and I’m just learning how to take care of it. It’s really quite easy, because I have the luxury of sprinklers. Rocket grows well there, and I’ve had strawberries and tomatoes… and some really sad-looking mutated carrots and potatoes! I managed to grow a gigantic zucchini at one stage, too! At the moment, I’m trying corn and avocados. It’s great, when you’re making a salad, to be able to go right into the garden and pick your own produce. It feels good to think that you could sustain yourself with food growing on your own property.”

5. Aging Gracefully

Graham refuses to feel bad about her age or getting older. “I think, culturally, there is definitely a message out there that keeps telling us, ‘Women feel bad about yourself!’ It seems like there’s no age where we’re really allowed to feel good about ourselves—except for maybe a very short window,” she says. “The rest of the time we’re supposed to feel like, ‘I’m too young or I’m too old.’ For me, I have to unplug from the culture, which is a patriarchal way of looking at things, and to affirm myself and be happy and grateful for what I do have… Of course, getting older is a little bit scary—I won’t lie! At the same time, I feel like I’ve never been happier, weirdly. I do feel that I have more self-esteem now.”

Heather Graham is known for her fashionable figure. She’s currently on vacation in Italy, and is spending time by the water. Graham posted a new photo on her Instagram story of herself diving into the sea. She wore a white bikini, showing off her figure. How does she stay fit?

1. She Embraces Her Sexuality

Graham has always been a sex symbol. And she tells Women’s Health UK that she has embraced this part of herself. “It’s an aspect of my personality,” she says. “Sex is a part of who I am and it took me a long time to feel good about it. I wasn’t sure if it was good or bad to be a person who really enjoys sex.”

2. She Does Yoga

Graham is open about her love of yoga. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself doing yoga with a friend. She captioned the post, “Grateful to be in a beach doing yoga with @ninabergman.”

3. She Limits Sugar & White Flour

Graham opened up about her health secrets to Refinery29. She says that she has cut out certain things in her diet. "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."

4. She Cooks Healthy Meals

Graham loves to cook, and she revealed her favorite meals to Refinery29. “One of the main things I make is a beer-can chicken. It’s got a paste on it that’s made of salt, pepper, and brown sugar. But that’s really one of the best things I’m making right now. I’m also making sweet potato fries, but I make baked wedge fries so they’re healthier. I make a really good salad with kale, chopped raw brussel sprouts, and toasted almonds. Everyone’s into kale. It does make you feel healthy."

5. She Moisturizes

Graham has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. “I like moisturizing a lot,” she told Refinery29. “My whole body, my face. I use this inexpensive Body Shop Nourishing Night Cream, and sometimes I’ll use Crème de la Mer."

Salma Hayek needs nothing else for a perfect summer besides beer and a swimsuit. The 56-year-old actress is having a blast on a scuba diving trip with her friend and instructor Martina Engel, and sharing highlights from the adventure. Hayek posted pictures of the pair happily posing in bikinis and wetsuits, well-earned drinks in hand and snacking on oranges. “Hanging out with my favorite dive master,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Hayek stays ageless and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Knows You Love Her Bikinis

Hayek celebrated hitting 25 million followers on Instagram by posting a very tongue-in-cheek video of herself working out in a swimming pool. “I can’t believe it, 25 million followers! Thank you soo soo much to every single one of you. 🙏 Seeing as you all like my bikini pictures the most 👙, here’s a bikini work out for you all. I hate exercising- but I love to celebrate good moments dancing in the water. I am genuinely moved and grateful for all your love & support 🥰.”

2. She Is Brave

Remember the infamous scene-stealing snake dance Hayek did in From Dusk Till Dawn? It turns out she wasn’t exactly prepared for that. “They just kind of threw me on the stage with the snake, put the music on and said, ‘Hey, dance!’” she says, adding that there was no choreography—she was left to her own devices. “I was feeling insecure [and] just wanted to get through it. It was a really small part but to my surprise people really remember that moment.”

3. No Hair Dye, Please

Hayek’s gorgeous dark locks? All natural, all her. The actress no longer has the patience to sit through endless root touch-ups. “It’s my natural color, and it’s my natural white hairs,” she says. “One of the reasons I don’t dye my hair is because I don’t have the patience to sit through it. I don’t want to spend what’s left of my youth pretending I’m younger and then not enjoying life.”

4. She’s Very Funny

Hayek fought typecasting to be allowed to do comedy (no one could forget her star turn in 30 Rock). “I was typecast for a long time,” she says. “My entire life I wanted to do comedy and people wouldn’t give me comedies. I couldn’t land a role until I met Adam Sandler, who put me in a comedy [2010’s Grown Ups], but I was in my forties! They said, ‘You’re sexy, so you’re not allowed to have a sense of humor.’ Not only are you not allowed to be smart, but you were not allowed to be funny in the ’90s.”

5. No Botox or Fillers

Hayek’s secret to beautiful, ageless skin? Golden face masks and chicken soup. “I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin, and there’s no one in the States who is using this ingredient except for us,” she says. “Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like ‘Oh my god! How come nobody is using this?’ This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillings.”
