At 93, Kay McConaughey, mother of actor Matthew McConaughey, credits a stress-free life for her good health. She shared her secrets to staying vibrant in a recent interview.
McConaughey emphasizes the importance of a positive attitude, regular exercise, and healthy eating habits. She avoids stressful situations and offers advice freely, but doesn’t dwell if it’s not taken.
She believes this stress-free approach has been a lifelong practice. Even in her younger years, she recalls having a zest for life and not letting stress affect her.
Her routine includes Pilates four times a week and a healthy breakfast of yogurt and fruit. She also follows her father’s advice: “You are what you eat, and you are what you think.” This has led her to maintain a positive mindset.
While sweets are absent from her home, McConaughey enjoys a daily glass of wine, both in the evening and before bed.
Staying sharp at 93 requires effort, she admits. She keeps her mind active by reading, staying current with world events on her iPad, and nurturing her curiosity about life.
