Salma Hayek, 57, Reveals How She Keeps Her Waistline at 24 Inches, and It’s Not Dieting or Exercise

This summer, Salma Hayek has been enchanting her Instagram followers with gorgeous bikini snapshots. Despite her extensive Hollywood career, she still radiates a slender and youthful vibe in vacation photos captured on the Mediterranean coast, where she’s spending time with her family. Recently, the 57-year-old actress unveiled her secret to maintaining her trim figure, and surprisingly, it doesn’t solely involve strenuous workouts.

Instead, the renowned actress from Frida has recently revealed that she maintains her slender physique through meditation. Meditation is a practice that employs mindfulness, focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity to improve attention and awareness, ultimately leading to a state of balance.

“I really believe it is. People say it’s exercising. I think it’s meditation,” Salma confessed. Recognizing her personal struggles with exercise, she openly shared, “You have to find your way. For me, exercising is hard... It’s really, really difficult to have the discipline to do it. But meditation is a walk in the park, because it’s my own form of it.”

The beloved red carpet icon integrates meditation into her daily regimen, valuing these moments of self-reflection. Salma Hayek, who stands at 5 feet 1 inch, boasts a voluptuous figure with approximate body measurements of 39-24-38 inches and is reportedly 132 pounds in weight.

She unveiled her capacity for extended meditation sessions, all thanks to her distinctive approach, which she finds more enjoyable than the traditional method of attempting to completely empty her mind. She shared that she can meditate for hours, explaining, “because you don’t feel the time, and it’s so much fun.”

Furthermore, Salma emphatically refuted any claims of ever using Botox, especially when questioned about her radiant complexion. However, she candidly admitted to using radio frequency and micro-frequency machines, which she believes aid in skin tightening and the prevention of noticeable wrinkles.

The actress has also embraced a positive outlook on aging, stating, “I thought getting older meant I wasn’t going to work; I’m working. I thought getting older maybe meant that you’re not in love anymore; I’m in love.”

Salma also unveiled an unconventional ingredient she attributes to her youthful appearance. She elaborated, “I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin, and there’s no one in the States who is using this ingredient except for us.”

She continued by recounting her experience when she introduced some of these unique ingredients to American laboratories, stating, “Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like ’Oh my god! How come nobody is using this?’ This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillings.”

Meditation isn’t the sole factor contributing to Hayek’s stunning figure. The actress has another secret, one she candidly refers to as “disgusting”.
