The Step By Step actress shared that she eats only organic and also used fresh herbs that are like ‘medicine.’
‘It’s as though nature knew we’d be bombarded with free radicals and chemicals coming into our bodies all the time,’ she explained.
‘Bringing these antioxidants into your food helps eliminate free radicals.’
Somers likes fresh herbs and spices, like rosemary, thyme, tarragon, mint, turmeric, chives, cayenne, cumin and cinnamon.
And she said to ingest omega-3 oils like olive, flax, or coconut oil, to help keep cell membranes pliable, ‘allowing air and water to flow through and flush chemicals that enter the body from food or the environment.’
One of her favorite dishes is organic chicken with olive oil, rosemary and thyme. She adds sea salt.

‘When I eat this meal, I think it’s like healthy medicine I’m eating,’ she said. ‘It’s just so delicious.’
In her fifties she was diagnosed with breast cancer and that made her turn to clean eating.
‘I have to say that since I embraced health, I have never enjoyed life more,’ the northern California native shared.
‘I like the way I look. I like the way I feel. I like my energy. I have wisdom. I have perspective, and I can tell you that aging can be so incredible if you know how to approach it.’
The ThighMaster queen added it takes work.
A hit! She came to fame with John Ritter on Three’s Company which debuted in 1976; also seen here are Joyce DeWitt, Norman Fell, Richard Kline and Audra Lindley
‘Aging is amazing,’ she said. ‘Aging is something you should aspire to and look forward to and want.’
But a healthy life is crucial.
‘It’s about health; about shifting your thinking and understanding what it is that’s making us sick and how we can combat it.’
And when women over 50 feel achy, Suzanne said listen and heal it.
‘We have to learn the language of our bodies: Itching, b***ing, lack of sleep, sweating, bloating, forgetfulness, being dried up; that’s the body talking.

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY

BALANCE HORMONES
‘You can’t sleep unless you balance your hormones. When you don’t have hormones, you don’t care about sex. I mean, you can do it, but you’d rather have a smoothie. I didn’t like being there. I used to really like it, and I had three miserable years.’

The cover feature includes exclusive images from celebrity photographer Ron Galella, from her nights at Studio 54, her stints on Broadway as well as candid shots with husband Alan.
She told Park that between 1977 and 1980, she and Alan were regulars at Studio 54.
‘Even when it was happening, we knew that this was going to be historic, which of course it is,’ said the American Graffiti star.
‘We always stayed at the Morgan Hotel in the penthouse suite, which was filled with large bouquets of fragrant red roses.
‘We would sit on the outdoor terrace and on beautiful nights, having a glass of wine while mesmerized by the spires of Manhattan.’
Her favorite NYC restaurant was Rao’s! ‘The first time we were there, many, many, years ago, the waiter came to the table, and I requested the wine list. He looked at me, and with a heavy New York accent, he said, “I am the wine list. Do you want red or white?”
‘Another evening, our dear, dear, old friend Don Rickles was at Rao’s and two wise guys walked in, impeccably dressed in gray silk suits with just enough cuff, the perfect Windsor knot, and every hair in place. Plus, they were not smiling.
‘Don got everyone there to loudly hum the Godfather theme. We thought they were going to “take care of” Don, but instead they broke up, their posture changed, they were laughing hysterically, and it was Don Rickles’ night.’
She also said she has a fondness for New Yorkers.
‘New Yorkers are a breed unto themselves. They are loud and boisterous and take no crap! They love the city fiercely and are very protective of its reputation. When Sinatra sings New York, New York, we all feel like New Yorkers.’

In August she said wearing ‘a little’ make-up is part of her ‘self-esteem’.
‘A beauty regimen is so important as you age, because you want to present your best face not only to yourself and your husband or your family, but to the world,’ she said during a video interview with Yahoo! Lifestyle.
‘And to not take care of yourself means you don’t value yourself. I comb my hair every day and I get dressed every day, and most days, put on a little eyeliner just to open up the eyes,’ added the Step By Step star.
‘It’s part of my self-esteem to present the best face that I am capable of presenting.’
The mother of two also revealed her biggest tip for women over the age of 50 is to not wear the same make-up they wore in their 20s.
She said: ‘The biggest beauty mistake women over 50 make that I see is continuing to do the make-up they did when they were in their 20s.
The anti theory: ‘Bringing these antioxidants into your food helps eliminate free radicals,’ she shared. Seen with husband Alan Hamel in 2018
‘Because at 50, 60, 70, 80, it starts looking thick and heavy because you have to put on more. Your lines aren’t as defined as they were.
‘We have cell phones. You can take a picture of yourself, and the cell phone pictures don’t lie. And just see if what you’re doing is working.’
The health spokesperson and businesswoman added how the secret to maintaining her youthful ‘glow’ is making sure she is looking after her hair and skin and eating healthy.
She added: ‘The best piece of advice that I could give women over 50 is what you put into life is what you get out of it.’
The California native added: ‘If you’re not going to take care of yourself, it’s going to show on your face, and on your body, and it’s going to cause accelerated aging.
‘So take good care of yourself. Feed yourself right. Use the right products on your hair and skin. It gives me this glow, this joy, that my purpose, that I’m doing the right thing with my life at the right time with my louder voice, which is such a privilege.’
Suzanne and Alan have been married since 1977.
Somers’ most recent book is A New Way to Age: The Most Cutting-Edge Advances in Antiaging.
