Aging Gracefully

Have you heard the latest anti-aging news? Forty is the new 30.


As more people engage in better health and wellness practices, turning 40 doesn't carry the same stigma as it did in the past. Instead, the milestone birthday represents renewal rather than retrograde. 


The following fit and fabulous celebrities turn the big 4-0 this year, but they look almost a decade younger:

Mary J. Blige (January 11)

Denise Richards (February 17)

Rachel Weisz (March 7)

Mark Wahlberg (June 5)

Winona Ryder (October 29)

Christina Applegate (November 25)
