Cameron Diaz has been gorgeous since we can remember and this is because she takes her health, nutrition and fitness very seriously. She recently wrote a book called The Longevity Book, where she’s studied the aging of women of all life stages.

Aging doesn’t bother her and wishes more women would embrace aging as a great thing. Cameron Diaz got married at 42 and while many may think that is very late in life, she embraced it because in reality, there’s no perfect age to get married.
She wants women to understand their own journey and be prepared for the aging process. Yes, you will get wrinkly, but it’s all part of the process, which is why it’s so important to take care of yourself at all stages in life.
In Your 20’s: Focus on diet and exercise
“Bone mas is really important in your twenties—after that, we don’t build much bone anymore,” she explained. “Your twenties are your best chance to build bone through nutrition, physical activity and strength training.”
In Your 30’s: Start thinking about fertility
“After 35, women’s eggs start to dwindle,” says Diaz. “There’s no way of knowing until you test yourself. That might be something you want to do in your early thirties if your fertility is important to you.”
In Your 40’s: Stop stressing and start enjoying life
“Make connections, make friends, join communities, and really honor yourself,” she says. “You’re getting ready to make that transition to menopause, so pay attention to where you’re at emotionally, physically and mentally. The women who stress have it longer and harder, but the ones who accept it have it shorter and less severe.”
So often we let life stop our journey to wellness, whether it’s because we’re in relationships, start having kids, get depressed or simply get too busy. It’s important to take care of yourself now in order to stay healthy throughout the aging process. After all, age is just a number.
