I am a huge fan of Olivia Newton-John. For a woman that has gone through a lot, she remains incredibly positive and continues to campaign for many important causes including her Cancer and Wellness Centre opening in Melbourne.

So when a women like this gives out her tips for living well – I think we should all take notice!

She revealed them to OK! Magazine in the US during an interview. Here is what she had to say:

How did she overcome her difficulties?
“Just believing that I would get through it and knowing that there are no shortcuts. With any challenge or pain or difficulty, the only way through it is to go through it -- go through the fire. And you come out the other end of it. There’s a balance in life. I think life has an equilibrium. It balances out. Hopefully you learn from your experiences and grow. I think I’ve always had a pretty positive attitude that I would get through whatever it is. I live life that way.”

How does she feel about turning 60?
“I feel very blessed that I’m here and I’m healthy. I couldn’t be in a better place in my life.”

Olivia’s skin care regime
She uses her husband’s Amazon Herb product Illuvia on her skin twice a day.

How does she stay in shape?
Olivia works out by using a treadmill, taking walks and playing tennis two to three times a week.

And what does she eat?
“I like grilled food, I tend to like grilled simple foods like salads and vegetables, I eat meat occasionally like chicken and fish. I eat well. I eat fruits and vegetables. I don’t see it as a diet, I see it as a lifestyle for me. I try to eat organically as much as I can.”

Olivia also said she takes a digestive aid called Digestazon, which is also a part of her husband John’s Amazon Herb line.
