Kay McConaughey, mother of actor Matthew McConaughey, shared her secrets to longevity in an interview with Austin Lifestyle, emphasizing the importance of a healthy lifestyle, positive thinking, and stress avoidance.
Matthew McConaughey's mother, Kay McConaughey, is 93 years old and attributes her remarkable vitality to a stress-free lifestyle. In an interview with Austin Lifestyle, McConaughey, born Mary Kathlene McCabe, revealed the secrets to her vibrant life, emphasizing the importance of a healthy diet, regular exercise, and a positive outlook. But, she stresses that the most crucial factor is her ability to avoid stress.
'If you and I were really good friends and you were talking to me and you had a situation, I would listen to you and I would give you advice and if you didn't take it, then that's it, I wouldn't stress over it,' McConaughey shared with Austin Lifestyle. She further explained that she actively steers clear of stressful situations, stating, 'If I see that's where I'm headed, I back off. I'm not going to let people do that to me.'McConaughey also recounted her youthful exuberance, stating that she 'never really had any reason to' be stressed even in her younger years. 'I was really popular and I had a zest for life and stress is not a word I can apply to me, ever,' she said. Furthermore, she incorporates Pilates into her routine four times a week and enjoys a 'very healthy breakfast' consisting of yogurt and 'lots of different fruits.' She credits her father for instilling in her the belief that 'you are what you eat, and you are what you think,' principles she has diligently followed throughout her life. 'So, I have always thought I am what I think, and that's why I think positive,' she added.While she maintains a strict 'no sweets' policy at home, McConaughey indulges in a daily glass of wine at 5 o'clock and another before bed. She acknowledges that maintaining her physical and mental acuity at her age requires conscious effort. 'I read a lot, I keep up with things, you have to work at it at my age. I keep up with current events on my iPad,' she shared. 'I want to know what's happening in the world. I'm curious, very curious about life, still.' Research suggests that chronic stress can negatively impact the immune system, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and gastrointestinal problems. Conversely, engaging in 30 minutes of low to moderate-intensity exercise daily, such as walking, can improve mood and sleep quality. Even brief 'micro-meditations' lasting less than a minute can effectively reduce stress and enhance mental well-being.
