Matthew McConaughey's mom, Kay McConaughey, is sharing her secrets to staying young. During a recent interview with Austin Lifestyle, Kay commented on how she has been able to remain youthful at 93 years old. "I really have a positive attitude, and I eat well," Kay explained. "I eat clean. I exercise. I do Pilates for one hour, four days a week, and that keeps me fit. But, the biggest thing for me is I don't stress." "Like, if you and I were really good friends and, and you were talking to me, and you had a situation, I would listen to you and I would give you advice and if you didn't take it, then that's it, I wouldn't stress over it," she shared. Kay went on to explain that many "women think they always have to fix everything," but that is not a belief she subscribes to.

"I don't let myself get it them, trust me, I don't," said Kay. "If I see that's where I'm headed, I back off. I'm not going to let people do that to me. I never really had any reason to. I was really popular, and I had a zest for life and stress is not a word I can apply to me, ever." "I really have a positive attitude, and I eat well. I eat clean. I exercise. I do Pilates for one hour, four days a week, and that keeps me fit. But, the biggest thing for me is I don't stress."
