The Hollywood star Jane Fonda spoke out this week to offer her tips for aging gracefully.

While appearing on Reba McEntire’s podcast “Living & Learning with Reba McEntire,” the 82 year-old actress shared personal stories about aging, and explained how important it is to keep a positive mental outlook.

“When people tell me that I look good for my age, I know that a large part of that is because I am at peace. I feel good, you know?” Fonda said. “I feel proud of myself for having worked so hard to become what I am today. To become a better person, and to be able to forgive so many things.”

However, not all of Fonda’s aging tips were this abstract.

“I use this lotion, it’s Uncle Buds hemp lotion with CBD, and it is cannabis, doesn’t make you high though, but it’s great for aches and pains,” Fonda continued, adding that posture and exercise are crucial as well.

“I didn’t realize this until I was old. I thought it was more important when you were younger to exercise a lot ’cause it was more important to look good,” she explained. “Now it has nothing to do with how you look. It has to do with being able to pick up your grandchildren … being able to drive a car and look back over your shoulder while you’re backing up.”

This comes months after Fonda revealed that she is done with plastic surgery.

“I can’t pretend that I’m not vain, but there isn’t going to be any more plastic surgery,” Fonda told Elle Canada back in February. “I’m not going to cut myself up anymore.”

As she prepares to start filming season seven of her Netflix show “Grace & Frankie, Fonda said that she plans to lose ten pounds before production begins.

“There was a time when I was anorexic, but I never got below 112 (pounds). I don’t let it get too far out of hand,” Fonda said. “I’m not at my fighting weight right now. I’m 127. My fighting weight is about 119. So, you know, when we get three weeks out from shooting Grace and Frankie, I’ll lose 10 pounds.”
