It wasn\u2019t until her daughter, a body transformation coach, staged a kind of intervention for MacDonald that she finally began taking her health seriously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew I didn\u2019t feel well,\u201d she recalls. \u201cI needed to change things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Part of the change included improving her fitness levels, another element involved eating better, but perhaps the most important realization for MacDonald was when she decided to take a holistic approach to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/living-longer-living-better\/5-tips-for-healthy-eating\/\">healthier living<\/a>. And <em>that<\/em> is her secret. It\u2019s not just exercising more, it\u2019s not just consuming fewer calories\u2014it\u2019s both. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew what healthy food was but didn\u2019t know how to break it up in my day, in a way that worked well for me,\u201d MacDonald says. She worked with her daughter and a trained professional, who upped her meal count and helped her calculate how much proteins, fats and carbs her body needed to not only lose weight, but build muscle too. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI trusted an expert,\u201d MacDonald explains. \u201cEveryone is different and their baseline diet will differ as well. I always suggest working with an experienced professional when getting started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, she couldn\u2019t deny the results she was seeing and feeling. \u201cI felt good mentally,\u201d she says. \u201cI started eating more whole foods. I was eating five meals a day. I was making a change and seeing results physically in the weight loss. Over time with diet and exercise, I gained more energy and mobility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MacDonald said that as she continued to treat her meal plan as a way to fuel her <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/pets\/dogs\/working-out-with-your-dog\/\">workouts<\/a>, her relationship with foood changed as well. She realized that more protein meant the chance to build more muscle, and a stronger body meant fewer problems with ailments like arthritis and brittle bones. The more healthy carbs she ate\u2014like whole grains or quinoa\u2014translated to more energy, the desire to get moving, which helped her avoid being sedentary for long periods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always said, \u2018If you don\u2019t use it, you lose it,\u2019\u201d MacDonald says. \u201cIt\u2019s true and I apply that to movement day to day. I have arthritis and I notice a difference when I stretch and train. I still have some stiffness and pain but nowhere near what it would be like if I did not do those things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For MacDonald, her popularity on social media isn\u2019t just an accountability tool anymore. She wants to help others realize their full potential, especially older women like herself. It\u2019s why she regularly shares nuggets of wisdom, from workout tips to healthier eating tricks to the products she swears by, such as food scales and blenders, topical rubs for soreness to mindfulness apps. But her best piece of advice for aging well and embracing life as you grow older is fairly simple:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuild a life that you love! Ignore the naysayers. Dream big, and create action steps, daily habits that continually get you there. Fill your life with love and surround yourself with those who support you.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fitness influencer Joan MacDonald knows the secret to aging well and she\u2019s happy to share it with her millions of followers on social media. \u201c[I] can\u2019t keep all the good stuff to myself!\u201d she jokes with Guideposts.org.
