Bianca Lawson Secrets to Fighting Aging

The pressing question fans and just about everyone has about Bianca Lawson is her secret to aging backward. This is an actor after all, who played a 17-year old within the last 17 years. While many expect to hear a secret fitness regime or diet that Lawson uses as a remedy to fight aging, her answer is simple, just enjoy life and live it with passion. That is her secret to staying young.

“I think a part of it is not stressing out about it and using the same products forever. My Dad is always busy and always doing something and going forward and living your life that keeps you youthful. Living a healthy lifestyle, staying out of trouble, and keeping things very simple [is what I do].”

“I’ve seen people, who have aged 10 years in one year, and they had their passion, their purpose, they were working, and they were really active in life and then something happened and they lost that thing.  I think being on pause and not engaging in life anymore you don’t feel as fulfilled.”
