Meditation

"Now I'm 57 years old, I have a lot of tools. Meditation is my go-to," she told Vogue Arabia. She added to ET that she believes it is the secret to the fountain of youth. "I really believe it is. People say it's exercising. I think it's meditation," she shared. "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," she said. "You sit in a moment with yourself, that's already meditation," she added. "But I do it every day."

Body Love

The actress loves her body exactly the way it is. "Well, I do have thighs and a butt. I have cellulite. I fight with it every day," Salma confessed to Oprah. "But, yes, I am beautiful and famous—and yet the things I like about myself have nothing to do with that, because I don't use wealth and beauty to define myself. People think I'm more beautiful than I am because they see me on magazine covers—but go to nearly any town, and you'd find prettier women."

"I love my red wine," Salma told Oprah. "Red wine, in moderation, has long been thought of as heart healthy," says the Mayo Clinic. "The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent coronary artery disease, the condition that leads to heart attacks."

No Time or Discipline to Exercise

Restorative Yoga

"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. So even when you brush your teeth, you're working the muscles," Salma told People. "It's restorative yoga," she explains. "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."
