Life Lessons from Anthea Turner: Balancing Health and Beauty

TV presenter Anthea Turner, aged 63, resides in London with her 59-year-old fiancé Mark Armstrong, and her trusty canine companion, Soho.

In her reflections on life and health, Anthea shares some valuable insights.

The Challenges of the 50s: A Turning Point

At the onset of my 50s, life threw me a curveball; I was going through a divorce, relocating, and it felt like my world was crumbling.

The toll on my health was evident – weight loss, plummeting energy levels, chest and back acne, and the distressing loss of my beloved hair.

This cascade of issues stemmed from neglecting self-care.

I wasn’t eating right, sleep was elusive, and menopause was taking its toll.

I realized change was essential, not only for my well-being but also my appearance.

After enduring a period of personal turmoil, I acknowledged the importance of seeking help, a step I had previously resisted in my determination to maintain a façade of strength.

Consulting a therapist was a pivotal move, and addressing my hormonal needs through hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was a game-changer.

Clean eating became a priority.

Simple Dietary Choices: A Path to Well-Being

Optimal health isn’t just about the foods we consume; it’s about balance.

My dietary approach is straightforward.

I now view crisps as an occasional indulgence, and I’ve managed to curb my chocolate cravings by switching from milk to organic dark chocolate.

Sugar no longer finds its way into my tea, and desserts have been largely shelved.

While I still savor wine, I opt for red, convinced that the polyphenols are beneficial.

The gratification of nourishing my body with high-quality, nutritious food is undeniable.

Effortless Fitness Regimen: Keeping It Practical

Staying fit doesn’t have to be overly complex.

I’m a member of a gym, but at my home in West London, I’ve incorporated simplicity into my fitness routine.

I’ve added free weights and, when walking my dog, I don a weight vest and secure 2kg weights to my ankles.

The key is to keep it manageable and sustainable.

Reevaluating Beauty Regimens: A New Perspective

We often feel pressured to invest in expensive creams and procedures to stave off the signs of aging.

While I’ve personally explored botox and fillers, it’s crucial to recognize that these can’t eliminate wrinkles entirely, but they can soften their appearance.

A turning point came for me after a stint filming SAS: Who Dares Wins in Scotland.

Five product-free days led to radiant skin – the result of exercise, outdoor adventures, and an overall good time.

This experience motivated me to create a skin balm with six versatile uses and a three-in-one body cream.

The Holistic Approach to Health: Mind, Body, and Beauty

Our attitudes toward skin care, diet, and exercise all play a part in our overall well-being.

Future-proofing our bodies in our 50s is a prudent move, but it’s never too late to make contributions to our health bank.

The first 40 years are on the house; the next 40 are what we must work for.
