Jane Seymour has stayed in shape for decades without fad diets or marathon workout routines.<\/p>\n

“I am now the size I was when I was 17 and a ballet dancer,” the 74-year-old actress told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I try to stay around the same weight, but without going crazy about it. I have gotten bigger [over the years], but I never gained more than 10 pounds. I was smaller when I was in [1988\u2019s] \u2018War and Remembrance\u2019 and when I was playing Wallis Simpson where I had to be crazy thin, which is not a healthy weight for me. It makes my immune system weak.”<\/p>\n

Even during moments of celebration, Seymour is mindful of her healthy habits. Earlier in June, it was announced that her detective show, “Harry Wild,”<\/a> has been renewed for season 5 on Acorn TV. She\u2019s also the host of “Relative Secrets,” a series that premiered earlier this month about uncovering family secrets and dark mysteries.<\/p>\n

“I almost always never have breakfast,” the “Dr. Quinn” alum explained about her diet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I will have liquids and my vitamins. I\u2019ve got this vitamin combination that has collagen. I\u2019ll have that in the morning and either black tea, coffee or water. And then at lunchtime, I\u2019ll have a fabulous meal, whatever I want pretty much. I tend to like salmon, shrimp and grilled vegetables. And I love Italian food. I might have a little eggplant Parmesan; it\u2019s a favorite of mine. Maybe some lean chicken.”<\/p>\n

The star said that the one thing she “almost never” eats is steak, but she does make exceptions.<\/p>\n

“Once in a while, I\u2019ll have a little bit of filet steak, maybe a couple of slices. I\u2019m not against it. But I feel better usually when eating fish and lots of vegetables. I grow a lot of my food in my garden, a lot of it in pots actually\u2026 it keeps the bugs out. I have lettuce, arugula, artichokes, avocados, blueberries and strawberries. Also, lots of different types of kale. I love eating fresh vegetables. When I grill my vegetables, I add a little bit of olive oil and sometimes a sprinkle of salt.”<\/p>\n

Like anyone else, Seymour has her guilty pleasures. She loves anything that\u2019s “crunchy and salty.” To satisfy her cravings, she\u2019ll eat “a crispy sweet potato.”<\/p>\n

“I feel like I\u2019m eating a bag of chips, but it\u2019s actually sweet potato,” said Seymour. “I also like to take raw pumpkin seeds, put a little bit of Tamari Lite [gluten-free soy sauce that has less sodium], put them in a non-stick pan and toast them. I like to toss them around in the pan until they swell and pop. Pistachio nuts are also a favorite go-to snack. So mostly, I make sure to eat my nutrients and vitamins in my food if I can.”<\/p>\n

The former Bond girl<\/a> also noted that it\u2019s important for her to stay active daily. However, she listens to her body about what it needs each day.<\/p>\n

“I work with a lady\u2026 it\u2019s almost like physiotherapy, but it\u2019s a workout. I do Gyrotonics and some Pilates<\/a> \u2013 a lot of floor work, believe it or not, even though I\u2019m on a bench. But everything I do, anyone else can do at home, in a hotel room, their living room, their garden \u2013 anywhere where you can put a yoga mat down. I do Pilates legwork, which is like doing some of my ballet. I can use my own weight or a ballet bar.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m also a believer in light weights,” she shared. “I\u2019ll have an eight-pound or a five-pound weight in each hand. I\u2019ll do arm work while I\u2019m doing my legs. And the beauty of Pilates, Gyrotonics or even ballet is that it\u2019s all about being able to do it properly. It\u2019s not something where you rush in and jump around and can easily get injured.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m very careful about doing the right technique,” she said. “If I can\u2019t do too much, if I can\u2019t stretch too much that day, that\u2019s fine. I just do as much as my body is comfortable doing because I don\u2019t want to injure myself. I had back surgery a long time ago. That\u2019s a nemesis for me. So I listen to my body.”<\/p>\n

Seymour said she likes workouts that can be done anywhere, rather than heading to the gym. Pilates, in particular, has been essential to her for maintaining a strong core.<\/p>\n

“If you have core strength, you are less likely to have back injuries or back problems,” she said. “You are also more likely to look better up close. You\u2019ll be able to stand more properly\u2026 The core is everything. And looking back at my ballet training, that was all about the core.”<\/p>\n

In between filming “Harry Wild,” it\u2019s not shocking to spot Seymour doing plies or stretching.<\/p>\n

“Small movements make a huge difference,” she said. “Also, the muscle at the front of the leg is incredibly important to stretch out very carefully, especially if you run, walk a lot, or you\u2019re climbing. That muscle tightens up, and it directly affects your lower back.”<\/p>\n

In 1995, Seymour was tempted to get a tummy tuck after welcoming twin boys<\/a>. However, the idea of going under the knife made her pause.<\/p>\n

“I just thought, \u2018No, that\u2019s major surgery,\u2019” she recalled. “I thought, let\u2019s try doing what I used to do, my workout routines. I\u2019ll see if I can get my muscles toned. I\u2019m not trying to look like a 20-year-old. I\u2019m just trying to be the most mobile that I can be for my age and what my body\u2019s capable of.”<\/p>\n

According to Seymour, it\u2019s never too late to try a workout routine that suits your lifestyle.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve never been able to do the split, so I\u2019m not going to start now,” she chuckled. “I almost did it on \u2018Dancing With the Stars,\u2019 and that was pretty amazing. But for me, it\u2019s all about building and maintaining a good, strong core. A lot of younger people are on computers and cell phones. And I think everyone sits and hunches. That\u2019s a big issue because it can affect your neck, shoulders, mid-back and spine. So stretching each day and having a straight spine is huge.”<\/p>\n

The actress said she\u2019s grateful to get up and move each day.<\/p>\n

“I think a lot of women suffer from being invisible,” she said. “You were married, you had the job, and you had kids. But now, who am I? What\u2019s my purpose? Where do I belong in this world? But\u2026 you can be a full-blooded human being at any age\u2026 It\u2019s a choice you make for yourself.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
