Salma Hayek in Bikini Says “Viva Mexico!”

Here are her forever-young habits

Salma Hayek is dancing in her bikini. In a new social media post celebrating her cover of Sports Illustrated Mexico, the bombshell cuts a rug in a tiny white string bikini, dropping pretty much every jaw on the internet. “My cover of @sportsillustrated.mexico in now out in Mexico with a special edition 💃🏻🎉🇲🇽 #VIVAMEXICO,” she captioned the Instagram clip. The star, who is turning 59 this year, recently told Elle that “no Botox, no peels, no fillers” is involved in her ageless beauty. What is her secret to staying youthful as she closes in on 60? Here are all diet and fitness habits.

1

Restorative Yoga

Salma doesn’t work out like normal people. “‘I don’t have time to exercise, I am working,” she told People. Instead, she practices restorative yoga is her exercise of choice. “I work with a woman in London who taught me how to hold my body in a way where the muscles are activated all day long,” she explained. “So even when you brush your teeth, you’re working the muscles,” she added. “She taught me to tone my muscles without clenching them. You relax them and focus on the parts that need to be used, but never with tension. If you’re aware of your body, you’d be surprised by the effect it can have.”

(Mostly) Plant-Based Diet

Salma eats as plant-based as possible. “I don’t like to diet and I’m not good at it,” she revealed on her website. She fills her plate with fruit, veggies, and lean meats, fish, and juice. “When I feel stressed, I turn to food for comfort,” she continued. She tries not to eat meat. “The only thing I do is that I don’t eat animals every day. I eat all kinds of meat, but I consume it sparsely,” she added to the New York Times. “I would never eat two meats in a day. Sometimes I go several days without eating meat, but then I’ll go back.”

Meditation

Hayek gets her zen on. “People say it’s exercising. I think it’s meditation,” she told Entertainment Tonight about the most important habit to stay in shape. “You have to find your way. For me, exercising is hard. It’s really, really difficult to have the discipline to do it. But meditation is a walk in the park, because it’s my own form of it. When I don’t  for some time, guess what? Not only the face starts to drop and everything starts to drop, but my herniated disc, the problem in my neck, the problem in my hip, my ankles. I start breaking down.” She said she practices meditation “every day.”

Massage

Hayek gets regular rubdowns. “You have to find a good person that gives a good massage,” she told Inquisitr. “I have a [massage therapist], but she lives in Japan. She only comes to London every once in a while. But when she comes, she’s my secret weapon. Massage oxygenates, activates the circulation, and keeps the muscles healthy and firm. I cannot tell you, even just for the lymphatic [system], what the massage does for the face.”

Juice Cleanses

Salma is such a big fan of juicing that she started her own company. “After doing a juice cleanse, I’m motivated to eat healthier and not emotionally. Cleansing is like my meditation. It makes me stop, focus and think about what I’m putting into my body. I’m making a commitment to my health and hitting the reset button,” she said.
