1. Her Diet Is Extremely Healthy

“I eat as though my life depends upon it, because I believe it does,” she said. She adds lots of antioxidant rich herbs and spices to her food like thyme, rosemary, tarragon, mint, turmeric, chives, cayenne, cumin, and cinnamon. “It’s as though nature knew we’d be bombarded with free radicals and chemicals coming into our bodies all the time. Bringing these antioxidants into your food helps eliminate free radicals.” She points out infusing any meal with them is easy. For example, rub olive oil, rosemary and time all over an organic chicken. “When I eat this meal, I think it’s like healthy medicine I’m eating,” she gushed. “It’s just so delicious.”

2. She Is All About Supplements

Suzanne follows a detailed regime of alternative and integrative medicine, including supplements, enzymes, and peptides. She explains that taking omega-3s helps keep cell membranes pliable, leaving room for air and water to flush toxic chemicals out. According to Suzanne an abundance of malfunctioning cells can lead to diseases, including cancer, from lack of nutrition, hydration, and oxygen. “We need air and water in our bodies to be more energetic,” she adds. She herself takes fish oil in the morning and evening. “People say, ‘Fish oil, ugh! It’s something our mothers made us take, cod liver oil.’ Our mothers had wisdom!”

3. Good Health Makes Her Happy

“I have to say that since I embraced health, I have never enjoyed life more,” she said. “I like the way I look. I like the way I feel. I like my energy. I have wisdom. I have perspective, and I can tell you that aging can be so incredible if you know how to approach it. It takes a little bit of work. It’s about health; about shifting your thinking and understanding what it is that’s making us sick and how we can combat it.”

Suzanne explains that eating right, getting enough sleep, and hormonal balance are key factors to healthy aging. “These are all connected,” she stresses. This is why you need to listen to your body’s signs. “We have to learn the language of our bodies. Itching, bitching, lack of sleep, sweating, bloating, forgetfulness, being dried up; that’s the body talking,” she says. “Listen to your body,” she advises. “You can’t sleep unless you balance your hormones.”

5. She Takes Hormones

“Hormones are not just for menopausal women. Hormones are for all of us, they’re the juice of youth, governing every aspect of our lives and emotions and health,” she says. While she didn’t start taking hormones until later in life, she wishes she had started in her thirties. “As we decline, we can now fill the tank with bioidentical hormones; not too much, not too little – exactly; optimal health. It’s the most exciting thing that’s ever happened. It means that we can remain even all the way through, and as you get older you just need a little more,” she explained. They can also improve your sex life, she says. “When you don’t have hormones, you don’t care about sex. I mean, you can do it, but you’d rather have a smoothie.” And she attests to this. “I didn’t like being there. I used to really like it, and I had three miserable years.” She takes estrogen daily. “That’s my happy mood. And I’m telling you it’s nice to live with a woman who’s in a good mood every day because I didn’t used to be. So, now I know the difference.” Additionally, she applies progesterone at certain times each month, in order to help eliminate water weight. “That combination of estrogen and progesterone makes you feel really good, and there are days when you get a glint in your eye, and look at your husband and go, ‘Hello, sailor!’” she said laughing.

It was Suzanne Somers' birthday yesterday, and she celebrated with a Facebook and Instagram livestream. Somers turned 75, and she’s still looking good and in great shape. She’s even written a book about her secrets. Read on to see 5 ways Suzanne Somers 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 Doesn’t Diet

Somers tells HollywoodLife that she doesn’t diet, and says that she isn’t afraid to indulge once in a while. “I eat real food,” she says. “I eat butter, cream, sour cream, olive oil, full fat cream cheese. I eat grass-fed or organic protein. All my food is organic. I’m never on a diet.”

2. She Eats Organic Food

Somers credits her healthy lifestyle to eating organic food. She tells HollywoodLife that she’s been eating organic food since her childhood. “Where I grew up everything was organic (even though they didn’t know it) because they weren’t spraying poison on our foods,” she says.

3. She Makes Smoothies In The Morning

Somers tells HollywoodLife that she’s a really big fan of making smoothies in the morning. She says that her go-to recipe includes kale, spinach, ginger, and apples. “I’m getting my three cups of vegetables a day, right there,” she says.

4. She Commits To Her Lifestyle

Somers is dedicated to her healthy lifestyle and eating well, and she says that this commitment helps her avoid cravings. “When you get yourself on a regimen where you’re eating right and not eating chemicals, you don’t get any strange cravings, because it’s the chemicals that cause the craving,” she explains to HollywoodLife. “The way that works is, when you eat, let’s say a fast food hamburger, the brain goes, ‘OK, I didn’t get what I needed there. I didn’t get the minerals. I didn’t get the right vitamins… Let’s just have some more.’”

5. She Uses A Thigh-Master

One of the things Somers is best known for is her Thigh-Master, which is a piece of exercise equipment that works your legs, specifically your thighs. On her website, she describes the product as, “This little wonder is still the best way to tone, shape and firm your inner thighs with just a few squeezes a day.”

Angelina Jolie is an eternal beauty. So it’s no surprise she’s starring in the new movie, Eternals. At the red carpet premiere for the film yesterday in Los Angeles, she was draped in brown fabric with a silver lip-piece. Read on to see 5 ways Angelina Jolie approaches her health 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 Worked Out Like This

Jolie’s one time personal trailer has said that "he gets more intensity out of his clients when he has them do three different machines for 15 minutes, rather than the same machine for the same 45 minutes." Says the Mayo Clinic: “High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is not just for the young and healthy. Researchers have found that HIIT can improve health and fitness for just about everyone and has even bigger benefits for older adults. The concept of ‘HIIT’ is pretty simple. You can do anything for 30 seconds or even a couple of minutes. And then, given a chance to catch your breath, you'll be able to do it again. During a HIIT workout, you alternate between exerting a high and low level effort of exercise.”

2. She Has Embraced Early Menopause

“I actually love being in menopause,” Jolie told the Daily Telegraph when she was 40 years old. “I haven’t had a terrible reaction to it, so I’m very fortunate. I feel older, and I feel settled being older. I feel happy that I’ve grown up. I don’t want to be young again.” At the time, she said of then-husband Brad Pitt: “[He] made it very, very clear to me that what he loved and what was a woman to him was somebody who was smart, and capable, and cared about her family, that it’s not about your physical body,” she said. “So I knew through the surgeries that this wasn’t going to be something that made me feel like less of a woman, because my husband wouldn’t let that happen.”

3. She Wrote About Having a Mastectomy

Jolie has the BRCA1 genetic mutation. "The decision to have a mastectomy was not easy," Jolie wrote in the first New York Times essay explaining her decision. "But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer."

4. She Has Done a Mixture of Krav Maga and Muay Thai

Trainer Gunnar Peterson got Jolie ready for some of her action films. "We got her learning a combination of Muay Thai and Krav Maga very early on. We would then pick the moves she was best at and combine them into a sequence," Peterson told SELF. “Krav Maga helps you focus your senses and be more aware of the environment around you. Once you begin training, you’ll learn to tune into your surroundings and be able to evaluate threatening situations. With this newfound perception, you can remove yourself from a potentially hostile situation before it escalates,” says Billy Macagnone, owner of Body Evolution.

5. She Reportedly Has Eaten Ancient Grains

“All types of grains are good sources of complex carbohydrates and some key vitamins and minerals, but whole grains — the healthiest kinds of grains — in particular are an important part of a healthy diet. Grains are naturally high in fiber, helping you feel full and satisfied — which makes it easier to maintain a healthy body weight. Whole grains are also linked to a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers and other health problems,” says the Mayo Clinic.

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.”
