Kensit decided to cut out sugar from her diet. She revealed her reasons why in an interview with Natural Health Woman. “I recently made the decision to cut out all refined sugar from my diet. I was encouraged to do so by a friend of mine – she was quite full-figured and after being diagnosed as borderline diabetic was advised by her doctor to eliminate the white stuff from her daily meals and snacks. As well as noticing major health benefits, she also dropped a ton of weight and seemed to do it quite seamlessly.”

5. She Stays Hydrated

After cutting out sugar, Kensit decided to keep staying hydrated. She tells Natural Health Woman, “If you’re looking to start reducing your sugar intake, I’d advise that you drink lots of water to keep your body hydrated and your energy levels up. I went to a health food store and asked for a balancing tea too – I found my hands were shaking and I needed something to help my energy and inner qi. I drink chamomile tea at night, and love dandelion tea. I also find green tea is useful for giving me a boost.”

1. She Believes Beauty Comes From Within

“If you want to wear Topshop, have a bit of Botox or dye your hair orange, then do it without fearing judgment. We shouldn’t be body-shaming each other or think getting old is a negative thing, because it’s not. What comes from within, your belief in your potential and what you can offer to the world: that is the true beauty of a woman,” Patsy told Hello when asked about her thoughts on aging.

2. She Meditates

Patsy maintains that meditation has been a game changer for her "mind, soul, diet, exercise,” adding, “It has been a really good thing for me to get into." She went through a transformation during a recent trip to Thailand. "I went to Chiva Som to do some meditation and that changed my life completely. I practice Yoga Nidra which is a guided meditation. It makes me feel so much better.”

5. She Is Using “Alternative Therapy” to Help with Menopause

Patsy told Hello that she has embraced alternative therapy since going through menopause. "When my blood tests first came back, the doctor said: ‘I can’t believe you are functioning on any level.’ The balance of my progesterone and vitamin D was dangerously low. Even now, it’s very Victorian the way the menopause is dealt with. No one talks about it. It’s time to focus on how great this change is, as it’s something that is going to come and get you,” she said, revealing that her diet prescribed her a losange.

Patsy Kensit was an “it” girl of the 1980s and 1990s, fronting the band Eighth Wonder and starring in beloved films like Lethal Weapon 2 and Angels & Insects, working steadily the whole time on television, as well (notably on Holby City, for example). She still performs regularly, but now this mother is also a health and wellness writer who just posted a swimsuit photo. “Missing the sunshine although it’s a beautiful day in London… 💛💛💛💛☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️,” she captioned it. So how does she stay so fit, mentally and physically?

1. She Advises Self-Care

“Give yourself the treats you love, and time to breathe wherever you can. If you're working, home educating and things are tough you need to care for yourself, to be able to help anyone else,” Kensit wrote about life during lockdown. And accept what you can’t change. “It's so hard not to be angry with the way things are and have been. But right now, it is what it is. Breathe and look to the future where you can, instead of living in fury right now.” She founded the Instagram community Conscious Plus with this dictum in mind: “Consciously connecting, communicating & celebrating what makes us amazing, at every age!” The following quotes are from her page.

2. Ask Yourself, “Is My Lifestyle Serving Me”

“THERE IS A REASON WE DONT TALK 'DIETS'...” Kensit captioned a post in January. “At this time of year, the messages around wellness and self esteem are overwhelming. On one side the billion dollar diet industry assuming that 'of course' your priorities are to drop pounds. The machine that is Instagram fitness has cranked up with ad after ad of bodies working up a sweat.

And the body positive community are pushing back - often rightly- with messages about health being more than scales, and attractiveness being more than thin. But sometimes that can come with pressure too - the pressure to accept a body that rightly or wrongly you're not comfortable in.

Firstly, we have every size on my team and I've been many sizes myself. We ALL have body insecurities and we ALL empathise with the desire to feel attractive and confusion about what that is.

My view is that ALL women are beautiful BUT everyone has a right to decide what healthy and well looks like for them. One woman's size 6 is another's 16 - and living a miserable life as either isn't worth it.

We will NEVER talk diets here but self esteem and joy matter. Ask yourself if your lifestyle is serving you. If not, change it however you can, with whatever tools you have available.”

3. She Says You’re Not "a Pain"

“WE ARE NOT PAINS FOR...

Asking for a second opinion

Listening to our instincts

Expecting to be considered

Wanting to be heard

Feeling low

Needing reassurance

Feeling scared/sad/anything

Wanting educated

Interrupting

Changing plans

Not enjoying ANY experience

Having dietary needs

SO many of us feel like it's too much of us to ask for the above, that we're inconveniencing others. That we're a 'pain'.

We. Are. Not,” she wrote recently.

4. 'No Fear' is Her Mantra

Kensit recently shared a great quote from AbFab star Joanna Lumley: “"A lot of us are ruled by fear during our lives - afraid we'll get burgled, afraid a dog will bite us, afraid we'll get fat, afraid someone will leave us. Once you lose fear, life becomes sweeter, and that happens as you get older. I'm sure by the time I'm 80, I'll be able to do absolutely anything!” Kensit’s response: “LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!”

5. She’s An Advocate For Confident Menopause

Kensit recently shared the cover of a book called Perimenopause Power, by Maisie Hill. “THE MINDFUL MENOPAUSE...SHARING AGAIN,” she captioned it. “I devoured this the first time I read it so sharing again, because I'm reading it again!I believe that menopause is easier when we EMPOWER ourselves through it. Learning as much as we can allows us to advocate confidently for ourselves, make treatment choices that work for our bodies and make sense of the changes as they happen.”

“Women start perimenopause at different ages. You may notice signs of progression toward menopause, such as menstrual irregularity, sometime in your 40s. But some women notice changes as early as their mid-30s,” says the Mayo Clinic. Added Kensit: “@_maisiehill_ Peri Menopause power is a brilliant chance for women to do just that. It's accessible, clever and thorough - brilliant. Must read! Love, Patsy xx”
