Marie's best stress solutions

Like many Americans, Memorial Day means more to Marie Osmond than the start of summer: It is also a time to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

"Memorial Day causes me to focus my attention on those we've lost, their families and on our veterans and the incredibly important work they've done," says Marie, who observes the holiday by entertaining a house full of loved ones which, she admits, takes a lot of stamina.

"Luckily, I have more energy than ever," she laughs, crediting Nutrisystem for helping her maintain a 50-pound weight loss and putting pep in her step. "Every decade, our bodies change, but we can feel better in our 60s than we did in our 40s." Here, her tips for a healthy summer.

Energizes & invigorates: This healing massage

"As we get older, our lymph system is so important to keeping us healthy," Marie says. "When your lymphatics aren't working, it's like a toilet that doesn't flush: It just gets toxic in there. So I like to splurge on a lymphatic massage to keep everything moving." An easy at-home remedy: Using a dry brush, make gentle strokes toward your heart to flush excess fluid and toxins from tissues to banish bloat, cellulite and pain.
