At 76, Meryl Streep radiates vitality. No wonder since the three-Oscar icon relies on a very specific gentle activity to sculpt her figure and soothe her mind.
An absolute icon of cinema, the most nominated actress in history at the Oscars, an incredible fashion figure… We no longer need to introduce the legendary Meryl Streep. At 76 years old, she seems to defy the laws of time with disconcerting grace. However, for the actress, there is no question of indulging in invasive procedures and surgery galore. During interviews, she does not hesitate to share her minimalist fitness and beauty tips. For example, her golden rule is never to touch her face during the day so as not to add bacteria. She also opts for an organic diet, and embraces the natural process of aging, believing that each year brings additional depth to her life and art. A philosophy that we readily borrow from him.
When it comes to sport, the actress with three Oscars prefers to focus on movements that feel good, rather than training solely for performance and aesthetics. Thus, Meryl Streep attributes her legendary vitality to a very specific discipline. Far from crowded gyms and drastic fashionable diets, the star swears by an ancestral practice to gently sculpt her figure. “I try to stay healthy. Sometimes I indulge, but generally I try to swim a mile every day because I like the feeling and it allows me to reclaim my body. I am very aware of the importance of preserving my health, because it is not forever and we are lucky while we have it“, she confided to Hello Magazine a few years ago. Meryl Streep even uses this time spent in the water to meditate, and try to remember all her filmography… Spoiler alert: the actress admitted to not being able to remember all her past roles, during her swims.
More than just a sport, swimming is a real rejuvenation for the body. It helps tone all muscles and improve joint flexibility without any impact. An ideal cardiovascular ally, it shapes the silhouette, boosts blood circulation and promotes natural lymphatic drainage.
The little extra? Water has a real relaxing effect and drastically reduces stress. For Meryl Streep, it is this winning combo between physical activity and serenity that has made each session an unmissable event for so many years.
