Heather Graham in Bathing Suit Says "I Love You Mexico"

Heather Graham is 52 and apparently aging in reverse. The actress posted a photo of herself wearing a black bathing suit looking--well, looking exactly the same way she’s looked for 30 years. “I love you Mexico 🇲🇽 #lagoonofsevencolors #lagoon,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Graham 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 Avoids Flour and Sugar

Graham avoids eating sugar and flour as much as possible. "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,” she says. “And I will sometimes eat things with white flour, but I try to avoid white flour." Avoiding too much sugar is sensible, experts say. "Excess sugar's impact on obesity and diabetes is well documented, but one area that may surprise many men is how their taste for sugar can have a serious impact on their heart health," says Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. "Basically, the higher the intake of added sugar, the higher the risk for heart disease.”

2. She Cooks “Beer Can” Chicken

Graham loves to cook chicken, potatoes and salad. "I’m kind of slightly hypocritical because one of the main things I make is a beer-can chicken,” she says. “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."

3. She Loves Yoga and Pilates

"I’m obsessed with yoga. For fun, I would go on a yoga retreat and do four hours of yoga a day. And then I do pilates. I also like going out dancing,” Graham says. Pilates and yoga and very effective workouts, especially for people who love to dance. “As human beings, we are creatures of habit,” says lead yoga therapist Judi Bar. “We walk a certain way, we take the steps a certain way, we stand a certain way and we sit at our desk a certain way. So our muscles get imbalanced because of overuse and what Pilates does is help to counteract that.”

4. She Moisturizes From Head To Toe

Graham keeps her skin supple and healthy through daily moisturizing. "I like moisturizing a lot — my whole body, my face,” Graham says. “I use this inexpensive Body Shop Nourishing Night Cream, and sometimes I’ll use Crème de la Mer." Graham’s skincare routine certainly contributes to her youthful appearance. “Moisturizing every day will prevent dry skin. When the skin gets dry and cracks, it is susceptible to problems,” says Dr. Jennifer Trent MD FAAD. “One of which is the possibility of infection. These cracks allow the entrance of bacteria into the skin. Dry skin also has impaired barrier function and cannot ward off these microbes. Hydrating dry skin will make the wrinkles less apparent. Also, moisturizers will give you a healthy glow that can help mask blemishes. Moisturized skin looks plump and firm like youthful skin.”

5. She Sleeps a Lot

Graham doesn’t just get the recommended 7-8 hours of sleep a night—she goes even further. The actress can happily get 12 hours of sleep on occasion. “I love sleeping,” she says. “When I tell people how much I sleep sometimes, they are horrified. I basically sleep between nine and 12 hours a night.”

6. She Practices Self-Love

Graham says the most important lesson she’s ever learned is, “That by being loving to yourself, you are more kind and loving to others,” she says. “I always felt, ‘Oh, you’re supposed to do everything for other people and not worry about yourself’, but it’s important to be kind to yourself, and then you are a more generous person overall.” “Self-love means that you accept yourself fully, treat yourself with kindness and respect, and nurture your growth and wellbeing,” says Sharon Martin, LCSW. “Self-love encompasses not only how you treat yourself but also your thoughts and feelings about yourself. So, when you conceptualize self-love, you can try to imagine what you would do for yourself, how youd talk to yourself, and how youd feel about yourself that reflects love and concern.

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.”

1. She Took A Break

After Love Island, Higgins had a lot of opportunities. However, she tells The Independent that she learned that she had to take a break. “It was Michael Barrymore who gave me the advice. I was training for Dancing On Ice and he is a really, really lovely man. He knew by me that I was going through a bit of a time of it. I remember him saying to me, ‘You need to take a break because if these brands and everyone really do want you then they will wait for you.’ So I took his advice and it’s the best thing I ever did. And I would give the same advice to all the new Love Islanders.”

2. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Higgins tells The Independent that she has become a lot more comfortable with herself. “I am finally content. I am finally back to myself. Actually Mammy said it to me. It was about a year after Love Island, and I remember we had a FaceTime call, which we do every single day, and she started crying. And I said, ‘What’s happening? What’s wrong?’ And she said, ‘This is the first time I’ve seen you back to yourself.’”

3. She Swims

Higgins loves to spend time by the water. She shares a lot of photos of herself at the beach on Instagram. Higgins and her friend took a trip to the gorgeous Maldives, and she shared these photos. She captioned it, “We’ve arrived.” Higgins also posted these photos of herself on the beach at night from the same trip. She captioned it, “Sunset swims.”

4. She Has Support

Higgins opened up about her struggles with her body. She says that she became obsessed with working out and dieting. She tells the DailyMail that her loved ones helped get her out of this. “When you have good people around you, mammy as well, she noticed, she said ‘you've got too thin"’or whatever and I was like ‘yeah, yeah, yeah I know, I'm trying to sort it out."'

5. She’s Honest

Higgins wants to be an inspiration for young girls. She tells the DailyMail that she doesn’t want to hide parts of herself and be authentic. “I put on Instagram a picture of my grey hairs and honestly the amount of messages I got from younger girls, girls in their early 20s saying ‘oh my God, thank you so much for this, I've never shown anyone my grey hair, I keep it a secret but now I feel like I'm going to embrace it and not be afraid.’”

Jessica Cediel, the Colombian TV presenter and model, just posted a brand new video to Instagram, and she's her usual wink-wink self. Cediel posed in front of a mirror in a pink bathing suit, in the classic selfie position. She captioned the video, “I know it's not time to call but I saw you online.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jessica Cediel 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 Uses Hand Weights

In this Instagram video, Cediel revealed some of her favorite workouts to her followers. In the video, she is seen doing lateral lifts, and dancing with the weights in her hands. She humorously captioned the video, “Who else gets confused exercising? Train, sing, dance, smile, repeat.” Here’s a quick handweight exercise from personal trainer Mark Langowski:

1 leg deadlift into biceps curl and shoulder press.

Men; use 12-20lb db’s, Women Use 5-10lb db’s.

“Grasp a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing inward. Standing on one leg, tilt at the waist, keeping your back from rounding, and lower your chest toward the floor until your back is parallel to the ground. Exhale as you slowly come up and, at the top of movement, curl the weights up to your shoulders, then press them overhead. Do 8 repetitions for each leg.”

2. She Swims

Cediel likes to go swimming. In fact, she recently received the exciting opportunity to go swimming with dolphins in Cabo San Lucas. She posted this photo and this video on Instagram of herself interacting with the dolphins in the water. “Water is significantly denser than air — by almost 800 times. That means you can build muscle strength as you move through water. One study found that a long-term water exercise program was actually more effective than working out on land to build muscle strength,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Catches Some Rays

Twn minutes of sun can be good for you each day because it provides vitamin D. “Vitamin D is a nutrient your body needs for building and maintaining healthy bones,” says the Mayo Clinic. “That's because your body can only absorb calcium, the primary component of bone, when vitamin D is present. Vitamin D also regulates many other cellular functions in your body. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties support immune health, muscle function and brain cell activity.”

4. Love Yourself, She Urges

“Each of us has different purposes. Love yourself, respect yourself, value yourself and treat yourself as a priority. Don’t compare yourself. FOCUS ON YOU. Sow today so that tomorrow you will reap the fruits of your effort. Change your mentality, start the transformation from the inside and you will see how you reflect it outside,” she once captioned a post.

5. She Loves Her Father

“Today I am super emotional and I think that now I am finally going to talk about this thing that many of you have asked me about, my dad,” she said on air in 2021. He has Parkinson’s. “My dad has a lot of fans around here, I love him, he’s the best dad in the world….I think that many people who have a family member with special health conditions will understand me, I wanted to comment on this, until today I feel like sharing it and telling them that they definitely love their relatives, love their parents, children, cousins, someone who has a special health condition.”
