10 Celebs Revealed What Keeps Them Youthful and Healthy

A universal truth of life is that we all age. But that doesn’t mean we have to lose our health or our feeling of vitality. In fact, many older people begin using certain practices or habits that help them to feel great and maintain their strength as they age. So we wanted to share these celebs’ wisdom behind their youthfulness to inspire you to always feel your best.

1. Richard Gere

73-year-old actor Richard Gere has been famous since the 1980s, but he has kept himself feeling healthy and upbeat with one simple thing: meditation. He likes to meditate for an hour and says that it helped him become a nicer person whenever he didn’t feel good. “There is no doubt that if you meditated for an hour, you would feel different. This is the real deal,” he said.

He also ignores his age or any ideas of how he “should” be acting in his seventies. “Having young kids also helps,” he admitted, saying that his sons help to keep him feeling young at heart and in the body.

2. Reba McEntire

The country music star, of course, focuses on self-care, but the key for her to stay feeling young is following her career passions and doing anything that is fun or purposeful. She has a short motto: “Just find something to do.”

3. Goldie Hawn

The actress’s tip to feel more youthful has everything to do with her outlook. “Youth is connected to the ability to see things new for the first time,” she said. “If your eyes still look at life with wonder, then you will [feel] young!”

4. Jane Seymour

This stunning star keeps herself feeling healthy by exercising and eating well, even though she is in her seventies. She enjoys doing Pilates and slow weightlifting, and she has a simple diet, which includes a lot of vegetables she grows herself.

5. Paul Rudd

Beloved actor Paul Rudd’s secret seems to be a strong dose of humor. “I’m 80 years old on the inside,” he joked.

Many people have marveled at how he seemingly hasn’t changed since the ’90s, and when asked about his secret, he can never give a straight answer. “In here, pure darkness,” Rudd said while pointing to his chest. “And a little moisturizer.”

6. Joan Collins

Icon Joan Collins’ secret is everything in moderation. She never deprives herself of food she wants, such as dessert, toast, or coffee with sugar. And skincare is a big one for her: “I also try to get enough sleep and always wear moisturizer, sunscreen, and night cream.”

7. Elizabeth Hurley

Elizabeth Hurley believes in staying active to not only maintain good health, but also to stay feeling youthful and energized. “I think we have to stay active, whether it’s formal exercise or just moving around a lot,” she shared.

8. Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston likes to start her day with meditation, between 10 and 20 minutes, using a mantra. She also does daily workouts with a personal trainer, both intense things like spinning and calmer exercises, like yoga. “Keeping your body confused is always the key for me,” she said. Aniston is a true believer that youth and health come from the inside out.

9. Ellen DeGeneres

Famous talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has a simple tip for healthy and young-looking skin and beyond. She said, “Nothing makes you look younger than a smile, and being happy. If you look at babies, they’re always smiling and laughing, and their skin is flawless.”

10. Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek’s only rule may seem incredibly simple to some: never go to bed with makeup on. “I’ve never gone to bed without washing my face. Never in my life,” she swears.

It doesn’t matter if she’s tired or sick, even if she doesn’t take off her dress or shoes, she always has to wash her face. Healthy-looking skin is clearly central to her feeling young and happy.
