Best Health – August-September 2019

BEST INTERVIEW

BEST SWEAT

I hike, do yoga and cycle now.

They have a cycle and sculpt class

where you lift weights, too. I usu-

ally don’t like weights, but I don’t

mind lifting them when I’ve ale-

ady got my endorphins up.

BEST TRUTH

When you age, you don’t feel old.

People project that you’re old onto

you, but inside you don’t feel it.

BEST TREK

I love to exercise, and I love to

hike. When I hike, I’m conscious

• I make sure to hear the birds,
  see the light falling on rocks and
  notice plants. I think being
  around nature is healthy for your
  mental state, and that really
  affects what you look like. I find
  my day goes better if I go on a
  morning hike, and I sleep better
  if I go on an evening hike.

BEST HEALTH HACK

Drink a lot of water, and eat a lot

of raw vegetables.

BEST REFLECTION

If I could say anything to my

30-year-old self, I’d tell myself to

stop and take care of myself. I

think you tend to force your way

through difficult situations – I

know I did.

You don’t have a 40-year

career in Hollywood (not

to mention a 30-plus-

year partnership with

L’Oréal) without learning

a thing or two about

taking care of yourself.

We chatted with actress

Andie MacDowell about

the wisdom she’s gained

in show biz and beyond.
