Top Sante Magazine Spring 2016 Vorige editie

There’s a sea change going on. It’s hard not to notice the increase in older models and actresses in fashion and beauty campaigns – Dame Helen Mirren embracing her age for L’Oréal being one of the first that springs to mind. And it’s about time too! Here at Top Santé we celebrate growing older and wiser, taking all the positives, such as feeling more self-assured and confident, and adding to that ways to naturally maintain our health,
both inside and out, for optimum vitality and vigour. So, this month you’ll not only read about how best to nourish your body with youth-boosting foods and but also why menopause, which has for decades received negative press, can actually be an empowering time of transformation, helped by the right natural remedies and mindset. And speaking of mindsets, I was fascinated to read how the language we use about rowing older really can influence how we look, act and feel. Finally, Kate Humble’s column truly inspired me this month. In it, she praises her um’s
no-nonsense approach to ageing. At 73, she lives a healthy, active life and looks incredible (note to L’Oréal: a new model perhaps?). If I’m as healthy
and attractive as her in 36 years, I’ll be very happy!
