Canada may not be her hometown but when Latina actress Salma Hayek saw a bunch of her fans holding and waving a Mexican flag during the red carpet at the "Toronto International Film Festival" while promoting her "Septembers of Shiraz" movie, she hurriedly joined them for an impromptu photo-op, Pop Sugar reports. The 49-year-old sizzled in a ruby dress that made everyone half her age jealous because of her flawless, wrinkle-free face and sexy physique. Who knew she's a mother of an 8-year-old girl?

Celebrity Health & Fitness writes that the star credits restorative yoga workout regimen, careful skin care, and a high-fat diet that incorporates a Paleo-style bone broth. Wait, what?

Salma shares that she believes in adding good fat in every meal, especially the bone broth, because it is rich in collagen and is good for her health. Although the actress doesn't really follow the Paleo diet, she believes and tries to incorporate most of its guiding principles in her meals, like using organic food choices, avoiding processed foods and eating healthy fats.

Salma is even quoted saying, "think people are afraid of fat, and fat is your friend." Many experts promote a high-fat, low-carb diet, just like what Salma is doing, because of its aid in weight loss and ability to boost metabolism.

Besides her healthy diet, Salma also ensures that she practices her holistic living in every aspect of her life. Last year, the actress launched her natural and organic skincare "Nuance", The Daily Mail UK writes. She shares that the main ingredient of her beauty products is a tree bark that is commonly used in Mexico to regenerate the skin of burn victims.

Furthermore, she also incorporates restorative yoga whenever she can, to help promote balanced mental health and relaxation. She doesn't like doing structured workout because she is too busy working 20 hours in a day. Salma shares that she likes the gentle way yoga restores her muscles because there is no tension. Lastly, Salma shares that in order to live a happy and healthy life, it is not about the cosmetic procedures but learning how to enjoy and savor every minute life has to offer you.
