Marina Di Guardo, the Italian writer of books including Dress code rosso sangue, knows something about beauty; after all, she's also the mother of Chiara Ferragni, the brains behind the fashion blog The Blonde Salad. At age 60, Marina still looks fantastic—so much so that a recent swimsuit photo she posted from "30 Years Ago" looks like it could be from today. How does she stay so fit?

Marina has shared photos of herself in pools and hot tubs, including a recent one captioned "Lovely days❤️" with friend Francesca Ferragni and others in South Tyrol, Italy. "Sauna bathing, an activity that has been a tradition in Finland for thousands of years and mainly used for the purposes of pleasure and relaxation, is becoming increasingly popular in many other populations. Emerging evidence suggests that beyond its use for pleasure, sauna bathing may be linked to several health benefits, which include reduction in the risk of vascular diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and neurocognitive diseases; nonvascular conditions such as pulmonary diseases; mortality; as well as amelioration of conditions such as arthritis, headache, and flu," says a study in the Mayo Clinic.
"Whether salty foods or alcohol are to blame for your blimp-like belly, lemon tea can help fight the bloat thanks to its d-limonene content. The compound, which is found in citrus rind oil, has been used for its diuretic effects since ancient times. But until recently, there were no scientific findings to back the claims. An animal study published in the European Journal of Pharmacology found D-Limonene has a therapeutic effect on metabolic disorders in mice with high-fat-diet-induced obesity," says our sister site Eat This, Not That!
Marina appeared recently at The Power of Confidence conference at the Palazzo Parigi, Milano. Roughly translated, she said there: "Our self-esteem is built from childhood, in the family. Our father, our mother lay the foundations for our personal fulfillment. However, when an effective parental contribution is lacking, it becomes important to grant ourselves the attention, the care, the trust that has not been reserved for us and to become our own parents."
"My first time in Dubai🥰," she captioned one photo her drinking from a coconut. "Coconut water is popular for rehydration after exercise or during mild illness. It's true that coconut water has electrolytes, such as potassium, sodium and manganese. The amounts vary by brand," says the Mayo Clinic. "Some evidence suggests that coconut water is comparable to sports drinks. But it's no more hydrating than plain water. As a casual beverage, coconut water is considered safe. Coconut water does have calories — 45 to 60 calories in an 8-ounce serving. Weighing the pros and cons, plain water is still the smart choice."
From chalets to beachers, Marina loves to spend time outside. "People who spend most of their time indoors generally have low levels of vitamin D. The amount of sun exposure needed for adequate vitamin D production is uncertain, but most estimates are no more than 15 minutes a day between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., three times a week. However, this sun exposure must be balanced against your risk of skin cancer," says the Mayo Clinic.
