She says she still doesn’t have a single gray hair, which she attributes to her healthy lifestyle.
“People surprise me when they think I’m in my 30s,” she told the Daily star.
“They seem shocked when I tell them I’m in my fifties.
“I still don’t have any gray hair, maybe it’s because of my genes or because I eat healthy and exercise regularly.”

Gina said she believes the body is designed to heal and repair itself, and that taking good care of it can ensure a long and healthy life.
“I believe that being the best version of ourselves is the key to a happy life.”
Gina became a mother for the first time at the age of 19 and now has three adult children and a 10-year-old daughter.
She said becoming a grandmother felt “surreal” to her.
She said one of the most important things she does to maintain her youthful appearance is drinking plenty of water.
“I drink small sips throughout the day and at least two liters,” she said.
She aims to get eight hours of sleep every night and does yoga three times a week.
Gina eats mainly vegetarian, with lots of fruit, nuts and vegetables. Only on weekends she eats meat.
And the grandmother fasts 16 hours a day. She only eats between 1:00 and 9:00, so her body can rest and recover.
Tips for aging well
There are a number of habits you can adopt to help maintain your health and well-being as you age.
Age UK shared the following tips:
- Do things you enjoy every day, like cooking, meeting friends, or enjoying a good book.
- Stay hydrated – drink six to eight glasses of water per day
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables to reduce your risk of heart disease and certain cancers, eat beans, legumes, fish, eggs and meat to help your body recover after an injury, starchy carbohydrates for energy, dairy products to keep your bones strong
- Manage long-term health conditions to prevent them from getting worse or having a greater impact on your health
- Stop smoking and limit your alcohol consumption to a maximum of 14 units per week
- Prioritize mental health and seek treatment for it as it can also impact physical health
- Make sure you sleep well

To ensure she gets all the nutrients she needs, Gina makes her own healthy juices, which she drinks three to four times a week.
“I actually find that I am what I eat,” she said.
“I also strive to be as fit and muscular as possible because as we age we lose muscle mass and strong muscles are what we all need to stay healthy.
She added that she only uses natural products to moisturize her skin and doesn’t use chemicals.
