Actress Cameron Diaz is killing it at 41 years of age; she has a super taut body, a job where she gets to goof around everyday and she has a very healthy approach to ageing. The former model relies on healthy eating and regular Pilates workouts to keep her athletic, toned body in shape.
Diaz recently did an interview with Esquire magazine, where she revealed that she is embracing ageing, instead of dreading it.
"I love it (ageing). So much shit just falls away. Fear, mostly. It's the best age (the 40's). That's when a woman knows how to work things, or she doesn’t care about that anymore. You just stop being afraid. You don't worry about what men think."
The stunning beauty goes on to say that growing older has provided her with added confidence and perspective. Diaz has also utilised her years of experience to write her first fitness book, titled 'The Body Book', which is out now. Cameron has been a workout fanatic for the past two decades and reveals that she is fitter now at 41 than she was during her twenties. Diaz's book covers her age-defying secrets, which include daily Pilates workouts, low-carb eating that does not revolve around restriction and an optimistic, upbeat attitude. Despite the several blockbuster movies Cameron has starred in over the years, she called her health & fitness book one of her "proudest achievements".
Diaz has a great personal attachment to her book, as she wrote it with the aim to inspire woman around the world to respect & love their bodies and to take control of their own health & fitness. Cameron admits that whilst balanced eating and exercise will assist in making you look good, the benefits that they will have on your psychological and emotional health is much greater. "We (women) concentrate too much on what's happening on the outside...If you take care of what's going on in the inside, then you should have no problems."
The super healthy and fit Cameron that we see now splashed on magazine covers was not always so. "I used to eat fried food from morning to night when I was in my 20s," Diaz recently told USA Today. The gorgeous actress quickly caught on that she need to completely change her diet to stay healthy inside and out. "As I got older, I realised I was working a little bit harder at digesting what I was eating, and I thought it is not fair to my body to keep doing this. If you are giving it a bunch of crap all the time, it will break down quicker and deteriorate quicker, so I stopped.” Cameron recalls that completely overhauling her eating and making healthy eating choices vastly improved her skin and her energy levels.
Nowadays, Diaz can be found eating healthy proteins including chicken, steak, fish and prawns as well as lots of grilled vegetables. The movie star also enjoys chowing down on sprouts and seeds and avoids starchy food like white bread and pasta. Cameron's favourite breakfast consists of egg whites with sautéed tomatoes and steel-cut oats.
Diaz exercises daily to keep her enviable body in shape. She loves Pilates, running and strength-training.
