Jane Fonda Finally Reveals Her Longevity Diet at 87

The star has a moderate but efficient approach to eating.

It’s almost impossible to fathom that Jane Fonda is nearing 90. The actress and fitness legend turned 87 in December but somehow looks a fraction of her age. How has she managed to slow down the aging process? According to her, it all has to do with a few simple dietary rules that she follows. Here is what you need to know about her longevity diet.


Her Secret? A Balanced Diet

Fonda’s main secret? It’s all about moderation. "Most diets focus on weight loss on the scale, and they impose temporary and often unhealthy restrictive behavior," she said in a 2012 video for BeFiT. "Unfortunately, this scenario sets us up to fail." She cited research stating that 80% of dieters “will regain all or most of the weight that they lost within two years.” You won’t find her on a diet. “Fad diets are the ones promising unrealistic results. You should not try to lose more than two to three pounds per week, max," she said.

She Eats Breakfast

"Every morning, commit to starting the day with a nutritious breakfast. People who do so tend to lose weight," she said in the video. "Breakfast, by the way, is the most important meal of the day, and making a good choice there will set you up for success for the rest of the day."

She Cheats, in Moderation

Fonda also indulges on occasion. "You don't want to feel deprived," she points out in the video. "You can't sustain that over the long haul. So, if you have a piece of chocolate, it's OK—just don't eat the whole box, or maybe take a longer walk tomorrow."

"I eat a fairly healthy diet. I'm not rigid," she dished to Vogue. "I have cut way back on red meat. I've cut back on fish because fish supplies are dwindling. I eat vegetables. I eat salads. I eat fresh food. I'm just careful about what I eat. I don't eat a lot of sugar, except lately I have."

When She Eats More, She Exercises More

When Fonda indulges in "unhealthy" food, she exercises more. "I was in Italy for two and a half months making the sequel to Book Club, and ate gelato and pasta every single day while I was there," she told Vogue. "But I never gained weight. I would get up at six in the morning before the heat hit and walk for an hour, hour and a half, two hours on days when the work permitted me to do that. I walk a lot, and that helps me."

Suzanne Somers is forever young! The 74-year-old actress stripped down into a bodysuit and flaunted her gorgeous legs for the debut issue of Park Magazine. In it, she reveals exactly how she manages to look half her age. “Aging is amazing. Aging is something you should aspire to and look forward to and want,” she says in the interview. Read on for five of Suzanne Somers’ secrets to staying in shape and see the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!


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.”

4. She Listens to Her Body

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

Celebrities Visit SiriusXM - January 6, 2020Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images

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.”

Is 60 the new 50? When it comes to health and fitness, these movie stars show no sign of slowing down or giving up on their wellness routines—and all without restrictive or fad dieting. “For me, it’s a lifestyle, it’s a foundation for your future. Because your health is your greatest wealth. I really think that’s something everybody needs to invest in,” says actress and supermodel Christie Brinkley. So how do they do it? Here’s how Kevin Coster, Jane Seymour, Dolly Parton, and others stay so fit after 60.


1. Julianne Moore

New,York,,Ny,-,November,29:,Julianne,Moore,Attends,TheShutterstock

Julianne Moore, 62, swears by yoga and weights. "I try to do Ashtanga yoga two to three times a week," she says. "I've also started working out with a trainer, doing light weights and a lot of jumping around. The main problem is I can't do anything six days straight because I get hurt. That's the thing about old age, eventually your hip starts to hurt and you have to switch and do something else."

2. Christie Brinkley

New,York,,Ny,-,November,30,,2021:,Christie,Brinkley,WearingShutterstock

Christie Brinkley, 69 fits exercises into her daily routine. “I’ll drink like, five cups of coffee. When I finish that, I try to get exercise in,” she says. “As far as exercise goes, everyone always asks if I use the Total Gym and yes, I really do. But I also might go to a spin class or work with weights. I would say running is my favorite way to sweat, but I’m not really supposed to do that anymore because of injuries… Some days the only thing I can get in is a seven-minute run on the Total Gym. Then while I’m brushing my teeth, I’m doing leg lifts. When I’m drying my hair, I do all kinds of squats.”

3. Angela Bassett

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,March,08,,2023:,Angela,Bassett,At,TheShutterstock

Angela Bassett, 64, works out with a personal trainer for accountability. She does cardio, weights, and sometimes yoga. "I gotta pay, so I will show up, 'cause I don't want to waste my money. I know myself, and I will talk myself out of going," she says. "My workout quotient will diminish as the day goes on. [At the end of the week] it's about deep breathing, a massage or yoga. Actually, I don't do yoga, I go for the massage."

4. Madonna

New,York,City,,Usa,-,May,2,,2016:,Madonna,AttendsShutterstock

Madonna, 64 works out with a personal trainer at least five times a week. "Madonna does five to six workouts weekly that vary on a daily basis and focus on a variety of methods and training modalities," says trainer Craig Smith. "Her workouts include dance, resistance training, interval training, yoga, barre workouts, Pilates, aerobics, athletic conditioning, and circuit training. Dance is a great exercise modality because it is a well-balanced method that includes all of the essentials of fitness: cardio, strength, endurance, stability, balance, flexibility, and mobility."

5. Helen Mirren

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,02:,Helen,Mirren,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Helen Mirren, 77, focuses on healthy habits every day. “My advice is to work from the inside out,” she says. “First of all, take control of your diet and find one that makes you feel good. I’m the first one at the fish and chips, but what you’re putting inside your body does influence how you feel about yourself, so start there. The next thing is exercise, which doesn’t mean joining expensive gyms. I’m a big believer in the Canadian Air Force women’s exercise regime, which is 12 minutes. It is an exercise regime that starts from very low and easy, then if you follow it through, it can become quite difficult.”

6. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger, 75, limits red meat for the most part. “I would say the majority of my meals now have no meat,” he says. “But every so often I still make a steak and I still have my Wiener schnitzel when I go to Austria. I will never stop that: Everything that you do in moderation is not bad. I never call myself vegan, but I’ve learned that for health reasons and fitness reasons that it’s better for me at my age to just eat less meat. Also, there is some correlation between a healthy body and healthy Earth. It’s good for your body to eat less meat and it is also good for the Earth.”

7. Kevin Costner

Los,Angeles,,Ca,-,August,01,,2019:,Kevin,Costner,AttendsShutterstock

Kevin Costner, 68, has made it a point to stay active for his health and happiness (especially when his children were younger). “I’ve been real lucky about a lot of things in my life, but one of the things has been this ability to stay healthy,” he says. “I think one of the big things that helps me is that I don’t sit it out. I move. I get out there and take the biggest bite out of life that’s possible.”

8. Susan Sarandon

Los,Angeles,,Ca,-,January,11,,2017:,Susan,Sarandon,AtShutterstock

Susan Sarandon, 76, stays active by walking and hitting the treadmill. “If you want to age gracefully, you don’t smoke cigarettes and probably laugh a lot, and get the normal amount of exercise, and eat well and stay out of the sun would be the main things,” she says. “As is having an amazing makeup and hair team, that’s really the secret. It helps to live in New York because I walk everywhere. I ride my bike down the West Side Highway, and I get 30 minutes on the treadmill."

9. Jane Seymour

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,09:,Jane,Seymour,Arrives,For,AfiShutterstock

Jane Seymour, 72, still works out like a dancer. “Having been a dancer who quit when I was 17, my body is reminded every time I try to do any kind of ballet exercise,” she says. “My brain will tell it what it needs to do and my body will cramp up and say, ‘Not on your life.’ But, if I’m very careful, I can do some pliés and stretches, all of which I am doing in dressing rooms, at home, on the road, in hotel rooms, anywhere. Even at the airport. When I do workout, I tend to do Pilates reformer [exercises]. Because I do have [dance] injuries, it really helps me enormously. I also do gyrotonics, which does more of a rotation of the spine, which I find to be very important. And I got one of those power plate machines! If I stand on that and do any of those plies or squats or anything like that it sort of gives you quadruple the workout.”

10. Dolly Parton

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,February,08,,2019:,Dolly,Parton,At,TheShutterstock

Dolly Parton, 77, knows how important exercise is—but she admits she doesn’t enjoy having a regimented workout routine. “I hate exercise, like I hated school,” she says. “I watch my diet the best I can. I try and do low carb but if I see something I want to eat, I eat it, as I am a hog at heart. But exercise, I hate, hate, hate. I just do my diddly squats.”

11. Michelle Yeoh

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,4:,Michelle,Yeoh,At,The,2023Shutterstock

Michelle Yeoh, 60, says her mother is her role model when it comes to aging with grace. "For me, exercising is the most important," she says. "When I’m in New York, I love walking around Central Park. I mean, literally, the whole circle around the park... I get this glow after I exercise that comes right from your core… your skin looks better right away."

1. Jane Fonda

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,31:,Jane,Fonda,At,The,80Shutterstock

Actress and workout sensation, Jane Fonda, is currently 85. She shared that she has a lot of gratitude for her body to Vogue. "I mean, every day when I get out of a car, I thank the goddesses that I have strong thighs, that I've worked out to keep strong thighs. When I'm backing a car up and I have to look over my shoulder, I'm thankful that I've kept flexible and I can turn my head and it doesn't hurt. Just basic things like that you take for granted when you're younger but can't do anymore when you're older unless you have remained strong and flexible."

2. Helen Mirren

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,02:,Helen,Mirren,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

78 year old actress, Helen Mirren, makes sure to pay attention to her diet. “Take control of your diet and find what makes you feel good,” she told Vogue. “I’m the first one at the fish and chips, but what you’re putting inside your body does influence how you feel about yourself, so start there.”

3. Judi Dench

London,,England,,Uk,-,October,12,,2021:,Judi,Dench,AttendsShutterstock

In an interview with Surrey Life, 88 year-old actress Judi Dench talked about her eyesight problems and how she’s coping. “On my scripts, my font is point-size 22, so you can imagine… If we’re doing a sonnet of 14 lines, all the others will have one page and I’ll have 14! It’s ridiculous, it’s a farce, but I’m not going to give in.”

4. Meryl Streep

New,York,,Ny,-,May,29,,2019:,Meryl,Streep,WearingShutterstock

74 year-old Meryl Streep, talked about her acting process in an interview with NPR’s Fresh Air, specifically, if she ever gets nervous. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. Now I think it happens more when I have to be Meryl Streep and it just seems like too big of a thing for anybody to be. So I get nervous feeling like I have to fill out the parameters of this colossus, or something, in public appearances. ... In acting, acting is ... another kind of transport for me. It's a playground.”

5. Diana Ross

Diana,Ross,At,The,2017,American,Music,Awards,Held,AtShutterstock

79 year old Diana Ross is one of pop culture’s most legendary singers and actresses. Her daughter, Rhonda, talked about how Ross stays fit while touring to Forbes. “In three and a half weeks we do 13 to 14 shows—all one-nighters. We have two to three shows in a row then one day off. Our meals are regular and sleep is surprisingly regular. The environment on this tour that my mother has established—that I have learned from her and take on— is a real professionalism, a real civility, good mental health.”

6. Patti Smith

Patti,Smith,At,Can-do,Awards,To,End,Hunger,By,FoodShutterstock

76 year-old singer and poet, Patti Smith, talked about how she got into those fields to the Harvard Business Review. “I decided in my early adolescence that I wanted to be an artist, encompassing all the arts. I started writing poetry, and it’s not that it came easily, but it just came into my whole being, so I vowed to devote myself to it. I struggle just as anyone else does when the muse disappears or I have difficulty expressing exactly what I want to say. But it’s my life’s work. And I feel fortunate that I accepted the happy burden at a young age.”

7. Cher

Despite being 77, Cher seemingly looks the same as she did when her career began. She shared her skincare tips in an interview with Vogue. “I do facial massage to push the fluid out of my face – it’s called lymphatic drainage. And then a trick that I saw that Joan Crawford used to do on Mommy Dearest – she put ice in a bowl and then splashed it on her face. I find that too jolting, so I take a washcloth, submerge it, wring it out and then put it on my face. My old make-up artist, who did all my movies – Leonard [Engelman] – he had a fabulous clay mask. Every once in a while, when I can remember it, I use that. When you first take it off you look strange – you have to wait for your face to unwrinkle.”

8. Maggie Smith

London,,Uk.,Maggie,Smith,At,The,56th,Bfi,London,FilmShutterstock

88 year-old Dame Maggie Smith is best known for her role on Downton Abbey. She talked about her acting process on NPR’s Fresh Air. “You want so much to get it right. And - you know, there's a thing in your head that kind of says to you, I think that was nearer it, you know? But when people are all around you and the pressure is that you're going to get this shot in, you know, the light's going to go - I have such admiration for film actors. Like, I can't tell you. They were all - well, not all of them were there, but at the BAFTAs the other night - and I was there, and I just thought, my goodness.”

9. Gloria Steinem

Los,Angeles,-,Sep,11:,Gloria,Steinem,At,The,2016Shutterstock

89 year-old, Gloria Steinem is one of the most prolific feminist writers and activists of all time. In an interview on Fresh Air, Steinem talked about her support of abortion and why she wanted to speak publicly about hers. “Let's hear from women who have actually had this experience. So I sat there as a reporter for New York magazine, listening to women tell their stories, you know, that were tragic and ludicrous and every human emotion all wrapped into one. And suddenly I thought, wait a minute. You know, I had an abortion, and actually, 1 in 3 American women had needed an abortion at some time in her life, so why is this illegal? And why is it dangerous? And it's the kind of revelation that comes from people just telling the truth and discovering you're not alone.”

10. Dionne Warwick

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,31:,Dionne,Warwick,Arrives,For,80Shutterstock

82 year-old Dionne Warwick shared her wellness secrets in an interview. “I don’t have things I call healthy habits. I go to the doctor when she calls. I eat what I want to eat. I haven’t changed my diet, and while I don’t ‘exercise,’ I suppose I get a workout on stage every night. Most of all, I keep a positive attitude and don’t allow stress into my life—it works for me.”

11. Shirley Bassey

Dame,Shirley,Bassey,At,The,85th,Academy,Awards,At,TheShutterstock

86 year-old Shirley Bassey talked about her diet secrets in an interview with The Mirror. She says that she believes in balance. “I don’t have diet secrets. I just watch what I eat. At weekends I go mad... ice cream, caviar with lots of cream.”

12. Joan Baez

82 year-old singer, Joan Baez, talked about her wellness secrets with The Mercury News. “People are always asking me how I stay in good shape. And I actually do a lot of things like yoga and Pilates and meditation, but for me, the posture work is at the base of all of it. It’s at the core of everything. Basically the whole thing is lengthening the body and decompressing the spinal column. It’s a very hands-on discipline and you work with a mirror so you can see what you are doing. Whenever I go on tour, I backslide and the old habits creep back, so when I get home I go back to the source.”

13. Martha Stewart

New,York,,Ny,-,October,17,,2019:,Martha,Stewart,AttendsShutterstock

82 year-old Martha Stewart is one of the most prominent business women and writers. She shared her wellness secrets in an interview on The Today Show. “I went to Pilates every other day… I live a clean life anyway. Good diet and good exercise and healthy skin care and all of that stuff.”

14. Anita Baker

65 year-old Anita Baker is an extremely successful singer. She talked about how she approached her career in an interview with Mother of Color. “Sometimes I wish I could change, but I don’t know how. I only know how to do me. All I’m ever interested in with my music is expressing what’s in my heart. I’ve never been interested in being a muse for a producer to express his creativity. I think the industry pressures artists to conform to whatever is happening at the time, and I’ve been a nonconformist my whole life.”

15. Sally Field

Los,Angeles,-,Feb,20:,Sally,Field,At,The,20thShutterstock

76 year-old actress, Sally Field, talked about her career and approach to acting in an interview with Ability Magazine. “I find that’s one of the great things about acting—you have the opportunity to stand in somebody else’s shoes, whether it’s someone with mental health problems or someone who lives and works in a small town. Each character faces a dilemma in her life, and as an actor you’re able to step into that character’s skin, look through her eyes. You leave transformed, a different person, because once you live a little bit of someone’s life, it changes you.”

16. Morgan Fairchild

Beverly,Hills,,Ca,-,Mar,8,,2023:,Morgan,Fairchild,AtShutterstock

73 year-old actress, Morgan Fairchild, is known for her roles in projects like Friends. She revealed to Closer Weekly that she is on the keto diet. "I have my fake oatmeal every morning and then salads. You know it's a very specific diet. It's not a hard diet… it's just very specific.”

17. Jessica Lange

New,York,,Ny,-,September,26:,Jessica,Lange,Attends,TheShutterstock

74 year-old actress, Jessica Lange, is best known for her roles in American Horror Story and Feud. In an interview, she opened up about her struggles with depression. “With the arrival of my family, I felt tethered to life for the first time, and the restlessness that plagued me when I was younger finally disappeared,” she explained. “I used to have real bouts of depression - I say that not having been in the depths of depression for a couple of years, thinking it’s a thing of the past, and maybe it’s not. When I was on my own, I could stay in bed for a week at a time and not talk to anybody, but with children you can’t allow yourself to wallow in those depths too long. Nonetheless, though my dark side is dormant right now, it continues to play a big role in whatever capacity I have to be creative - that’s the well I’m able to tap into where all the anguish, rage and sadness are stored.”

18. Goldie Hawn

Los,Angeles,-,May,10:,Goldie,Hawn,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

77 year-old Goldie Hawn is one of Hollywood’s most legendary actresses. She revealed to People that she loves juices. “I do a lot of juicing, I don’t put a lot of food in my stomach and I don’t mix my foods too much.

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.”

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, 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 reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
