As shown on her social media, Attal loves shellfish such as lobster. "It's not as rich in omega-3 as fatty fishes like salmon and mackerel, but lobster is a lean, low-calorie source of protein with a number of vitamins and minerals, including zinc and calcium," according to the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. "Healthy ways to serve lobster include steaming it with a spicy vinaigrette or grilling it with lemon and herbs."

She Plays the Guitar

Attal plays the guitar, which experts say is a very effective way of protecting brain health and helping prevent age-related issues. Of course, this counts for any kind of musical instrument. "It engages every major part of the central nervous system," says John Dani, PhD, chair of Neuroscience at Penn's Perelman School of Medicine. "Recent studies suggest that music may be a uniquely good form of exercising your brain. Fun can also be good for you."

Low-Key Beauty

Attal has preferred a low-key look for years, even in her early youth. "I don't like to put too much makeup on because it makes you look fake," she said. "I don't like mascara because anytime you take it off, some of your eyelashes fall out, whereas the eyelash curler has a better and prettier effect on my eyes. I sometimes put on dark or skin-color eye shadow."

Comfort Over Fashion Fads

Attal prefers comfort over fashion, but says she makes it work both ways. "My mom [Charlotte Gainsbourg] keeps telling me to dress simply, even though I don't always do it," she says. "It helps me not to exaggerate."

She's a Reader

Attal loves both reading and writing. "Research shows that elderly patients who read books or play mentally challenging games are two and a half times less likely to develop Alzheimer's," according to the Centre For Adult Education. "Reading is also associated with lower risk of developing dementia."
