She's Got Good Genes!!!

gertrudecloset — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 03:39:29 GMT

Cheff Babette Davis is 72 years old. She is a Vegan and has been for 32 years. She credits her veganism and fit lifestyle for her young look. About two years ago, she did a photo spread in a bathing suite and heels for a Magazine.

While, she looks spectacular for her age, I am of the opinion that Veganism is not the only factor that's playing a role in her youthful look. Genes do most of the work. What we do in conjunction, is the cherry on top!

My daughter was a personal trainer before becoming a nurse practitioner and she let me know who this woman is..."see mom, your a runner so just add more to your workout and you can look like this...and you're younger than her". Bless her heart. Yeah I'm tall and small, but it looks like this chick works out daily and I know this because my daughter looks like her...and she works out every day of the week, but is not vegan.

This is a lifetime of being faithful to your workout and she looks amazing. I work out, but not like that...beautiful woman

Aside from working out and eating healthy I too believe good genes enter into her looking that good!

Martha Stewart, age 81

The photo soon went viral, and while many praised her smooth complexion, radiance, and confidence, others, of course, shared their doubts and insisted she admit to plastic surgery.

"You look amazing but be honest about your facial regimen. Using Botox, fillers, laser treatments, etc. to help enhance your beauty it's not just diet, exercise and facials," one person wrote.

"No Photoshop, just hundreds of thousands spent for plastic surgery, Botox, Restylane, fillers, and more. I would have a lot more respect for this post if you think your plastic surgeon because he or she did a great job, and you are lucky enough to be able to afford all of this," another commented.

Stewart did not stay silent amid the criticism, and instead responded with three more no-filter selfies featuring her famous sexy pout—plus a glimpse into her skin care and wellness routines.

"These are the other three selfies I took. My expression was better in the first one but my skin looks great in all of them. Un filtered. No face lift," Stewart wrote in her post caption. "Great derms my whole life. Currently dr Daniel Belkin and dr Dhaval Bhanusali great diet. Great exercise and did I mention amazing facials @mariobadescu for the last forty years."

So what do you think? Has she had help, or just good genes and good dermatologists?

I'm 64 and have abs and muscles, but I have no muscle definition. Maybe I would get it if I worked out EVERY day, but I'm not doing that. Even so, since I'm only 5'2" tall and my bone structure is wide, I would never look like this. I can thank my genes for that I guess. But, I just got another good report from my annual physical, so there's that and I really can't credit that to good genes. My Mother died at about my age of Ovarian cancer and while my Dad lived to 84 he had a lot of health issues, heart and diabetes to start. He didn't let them slow him down though until the end.

She’s beautiful but might have received some additional help from photoshop…..looks like it to me.

@Goldengate8361 Nope. I just discovered this senior beauty on the Tamron Hall show, doing a floor plank Heels. Check for footage on youtube.

She's that "real chick."

Martha Stewart - great picture. However Martha does present on QVC from time to time and I remember when she had a clothing line here - she didn't look that good years ago so I'm doubting that its only good dermatologists (suspect its also good plastic surgeons!)

There is simply no way she would look better at age 81 than in her sixties.

Last time I saw Martha Stewrt on TV she didn't look that young. That particular picture looks like the shape of her face is skewed too.

During my physical therapy session a few weeks ago, I met a lady who was 102 years old. She was wearing tight spandex leggings and a sweatshirt.

When I first saw her from afar, I thought she was a young tall woman. She had the body of an 18 year old who was in shape

When she came over to where I was working out, I heard her physical therapist discussing her age. She caught my attention. Up close, I would have guessed this lady to be a young 60.

Unbelievable...some people do have great genes. Others, not so much. Even if they work out, they never achieve a youthful body or smooth skin.

Yes it is @JoyFilled Warrior . I was on youtube checking for stuff from a few I follow and came upon a small segment of the Tamron Hall show. Chef Babbette was there. She came out in a nice fitted dress and heels. I don't know that she was 72 when she did the photo shoot, but she is 72 today (as I write this). After I saw that segment I found more info about her.

Some people have good genes. Really.....

Beverly Johnson is 72 and she still looks pretty decent. Can't speak to if she had work done or not..........

Exercise, diet, stress management out weigh the genes. Yes, vegan contributes to age defying results....I know! Go Chef Davis!🔥

Yes, both of these ladies are lovely and do look a lot younger than their age. I am sure they have taken good care of their bodies and skin. I would, however, love to see them for real! I bet neither one of them looks as good as these photos make them look! Genetics and care are very important. If they have gotten some fillers or botox, good for them. I don't know if they have gotten anything extra done or not. Good lighting in pictures does a lot, too.

The picture of Martha Stewart posted sure doesn't look like the Martha who has appeared on various tv shows recently.

Reminds me of the show years ago, "Will the Real Martha, Please Stand Up."

I've eaten at her restaurant, Stuff I eat, in Inglewood, CA and the food was amazing!

This is Ernestine Shephard at 85. If you read her story including her family history, you know she looks the way she does despite her genes, not because of them.

People who don't work out or eat right seem to attribute looking amazing to great genes, and people who do attribute it to hard work.😂

Babette Davis does have good genes. She looks great! I think the photos are touched up a bit, though.

Martha Stewart is attractive, but the photo shown in this thread doesn't look like her. The picture seems to be angled and photoshopped to make the person look better. Not believing the pictures of Martha Stewart are natural; they seem more deceptive. Try another photo of her that seems more natural, not the ones already shown.

Re: She's Got Good Genes!!!

wagirl — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 15:01:22 GMT

Martha looks very good!! But do believe did she had work done or filters used for the photos-- and whoever did it was very talented--and who cares if she did? Really---if I had the $$$ to do some work--I'd do it in a New York minute!! And who says she has to fess up to having work done or not!!! I'd not say a word either way--no ones business!!!

As for Miss Cheff--absolutely STUNNING!!!!!!

Isn't it ironic with all the things Martha Stewart has accomplished in life, she is promoting her "appearance" at the age of 81. I would hope that the next generation teach their girls that there is a lot more important things to be proud of than physical appearance..especially 81 year old women bragging about their face.🥺🥺
