She may be 51 but Jennifer Aniston looks as good as she did in her Rachel Green days, as her recent Interview magazine pictures prove.
The Morning Wars actress defied her years as she posed in nothing but thigh-high boots, a leather jacket, and black underwear for the March 2020 issue.
But while her youthful appearance may seem miraculous there is no miracle about it, with Aniston putting some seriously hard work into her physique, reports The Sun.
Here’s how she stays looking so young.
BODY
Aniston relies on various different workouts to keep her body ship shape.
She previously revealed she takes part in daily yoga, boxing, cardio and meditation sessions.
She said: “I feel really beautiful when I finish a great workout.
“Because I’ve taken care of my body, my endorphins are going, my blood is pumping. I’m taking care of the one body I have.
“I have a spin bike, an elliptical bike and a treadmill, and I do cardio for at least 20 minutes a day. Even that short burst makes a difference.”
But while Aniston is dedicated to her fitness, she says that she will give herself the odd rest day.
“Of course I take days off. It’s important to rest the body” she said.
“I can go a whole week saying, ‘I’m not going to work out’. Your body will tell you what it needs.”
FACE
The actress is known to avoid Botox, previously stating, “I’m not saying that I haven’t tried it. All that cosmetic stuff looks ridiculous on me!”
But Aniston does have a couple of tricks when it comes to keeping her face glowing.
The Friends star says she regularly takes a collagen peptide with her morning smoothie.
Collagen is the main structural protein in human bodies, connecting bones, tendons and cartilage.
Speaking to wellandgood.com, she said: “There’s a collagen peptide that I’ve been loving. I’ve been seeing a difference.
“My nails are stronger and there’s a healthier … how do you explain it? A glow. It’s sort of that working from the inside-out thing.”
As well as the supplement, in the past Jen has spoken of her love for CurrentBody’s NuFACE Mini device, which uses microcurrent technology to sculpt and de-puff the facial contours.
She told InStyle: “If you don’t workout, eventually everything drops. Microcurrent facials are like little workouts for your face.”
The actress has also put her youthful appearance down to good genes, claiming her Greek heritage has played a part.
She previously said: “My dad is 100 per cent Greek; he barely has a wrinkle.
“Neither did my grandmother, who was 95 when she died. My life is a happy life. It’s a choice.”
DIET
Aniston says she uses the 16:8 fasting diet, which means she eats for eight hours of the day, while fasting for the remaining 16 hours.
She previously told the Radio Times: “I do intermittent fasting, so no food in the morning.
“I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours.”
Studies say the diet will help shed the pounds without causing you to starve yourself.
Researchers found that those who followed the time-restricted eating diet consumed fewer calories, lost weight and had improvements in blood pressure.
The actress reportedly relied on 800 calories a day during a five-day fast ahead of her reunion with Brad Pitt at the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards.
