But there's a secret to staying fit and healthy even in your fifties, and our Tatler friends seem to have cracked the code. They are living proof that keeping a healthy diet regimen is still possible regardless of age.

Anyone who knows me would probably agree that I have always been very mindful of keeping myself fit. From formal dance classes at a young age to finding my groove in aerobics and weight training in the '80s and '90s, and now to developing a solid and steady Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga practice over the last 20 years.

Now that I am in my fifties, I will say that keeping fit is a way of life. It is not just about making sure that the body is physically fit. It is about keeping my mind, body and spirit in harmony. It is a daily commitment to oneself—to eat well, sleep well, have a spiritual practice and faith in God, to move your body, and to have a regular cleansing practice or detox of body, mind, and spirit. [It's] a daily mindful practice seven days a week.
