Have you ever wondered how Jane Fonda manages to keep her looks so flawless after more than half a century in showbusiness? What’s going on: is it luck, or hard work? Well, let’s find out the answer from some of the most legendary performers to ever make it in Hollywood. Over the years, they’ve shared some stellar advice on what keeps them feeling youthful and looking their best. So, from Dick Van Dyke to Goldie Hawn, let’s discover the secrets behind maintaining your youth.

40. Don’t retire

This tip comes from the great, extremely long-lived comedian Mel Brooks. In 2018 when he was 91, the talent shared to the newspaper Financial Times, “In order to stay alive, work. Keep working no matter what if you can, at something you love to do. Never ever retire. Never sit when you can stand, never stand when you can walk.”

39. Eat a Mediterranean diet

Have you ever wondered why Sophia Loren looks so healthy all the time? Well, a lot of that is apparently down to her diet. She eats Mediterranean food – fish, spaghetti, wine, olive oil and plenty of fresh vegetables. And there’s great news if you want to try the same thing. Many studies have shown that the eating regime even helps prevent strokes and heart disease.

38. Eat plenty of blueberries

At the time of writing, Dick Van Dyke is still performing at the age of 95. So, you best believe the actor knows what he’s talking about when it comes to health. In 2016 Van Dyke told the Daily Mail newspaper that along with having a penchant for fried chicken, he also ate blueberries every single day. Apparently, those little things are absolutely bursting with healthy properties.

37. Have a good sense of humor

Of course it would be the legendary Betty White who said this one. When asked by Parade magazine what her secret to good health was in 2018, she answered, “Enjoy life. Accentuate the positive – not the negative. It sounds so trite, but a lot of people will pick out something to complain about, rather than say, ‘Hey, that was great!’ It’s not hard to find great stuff if you look.”
