We Love To Gawk At Fit Celebs: Why Daisy Fuentes likes getting older

We Love To Gawk At Fit Celebs, Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness, Celebs & Entertainment

Daisy Fuentes is famous largely because of her fabulous figure, and at 41 years old, she still looks amazing. However, she's happier with her body now, saying "I'm comfortable with who I am, and I don't care about fitting into any specific category or size."

She's featured in the latest issue of Fitness magazine, and though she added a few new elements to her workout to be ready for the shoot, she stays active all the time. Rather than use the treadmill in her garage, she prefers to have fun, playing tennis or going for long hikes.

As gorgeous as she is, even Daisy has some confidence issues, but says that even on the days she doesn't feel amazing, she has a trick: "My trick is to always do the best I can. It's fortifying knowing you've done everything you could to treat your body right." That's a trick I can manage, no problem!

Olympic swimmer diagnosed with cancer

Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness, Men's Health


Those who work their butts off physically often enjoy a bit of added protection against cancer. And sometimes they don't. Just ask Olympic swimmer Eric Shanteau, who was just recently diagnosed with testicular cancer.

Shanteau, 24, won't let cancer stop him from going for Gold in the 200-meter breaststroke -- he plans to delay his surgery until after he competes. Don't worry. The swimmer will be closely monitored and will drop out of the Olympics should his cancer appear to spread. "By no means am I being stupid about this," says Shanteau, who has high hopes for a successful recovery.

According to the American Cancer Society, testicular cancer, one of the most curable forms of cancer in the United States, will strike about 8,090 U.S. men in 2008. Because treatment is so successful, the risk of dying from this cancer is very low: about 1 in 5,000.
