Has Neve Campbell taken a dip in the fountain of youth? At 37, she looks exactly the same as she did in the ’90s when she played the ultrasensitive teenager Julia Salinger on “Party of Five,” the hit show that launched her career.

Sipping green tea in a Manhattan hotel restaurant, the eco-conscious Toronto native talks to Health.com about the pressures of looking slim and beautiful in Hollywood, what she finds inspiring now, and her new movie, “Scream 4” — which also happens to be one of the most anticipated films of the year.

Q: Neve, you look beautiful, and you’re not even wearing any makeup!

Thank you. But I am wearing some!

Q: You used to be a ballet dancer. Do you still dance?

I don’t really. With ballet, unless you’re doing it all the time, it’s too challenging on your body. I do Cardio Barre, which uses some dance techniques.

Q: What else do you do to stay in such great shape?

Yoga, Pilates, and running. I mix it up so I don’t get bored. I exercise at least five days a week. I love exercising. It’s what my body and mind are used to.

Q: Are there any diets you’ve done and later regretted?

I did the Atkins thing about seven years ago, and it didn’t make me feel good at all. And if you look at it, that much fat and meat is just wrong.

Q: How did you feel when those photos of you in a bikini came out last year?

What a nightmare.

Q: You looked good!

Thank you, that’s very nice. I was on holiday with friends, on an empty beach, and I had just gotten off the plane. I was bloated and PMS-ing, and I hadn’t exercised in months because my foot was injured.

Some viagra next day delivery of the press was shockingly mean. There were comments like, “She’s no longer a Wild Thing.” It was horrible! The annoying thing to me is that I’m in great shape, and I’m strong, and I take care of myself. I might have been five pounds heavier in that photo than what people expect. But I’m a human being, I’m on holiday, leave me alone!

So should we now leave high-intensity training to only the youngest and fittest people?

The 53-year-old said he had, to his detriment, believed the newspapers… that we must take very, very intensive exercise in short bursts for good health.

People of all ages can have a stroke, although they occur most commonly in people who are older.

More than 150,000 people in the UK have a stroke each year and a quarter of them are under 65.

Most of the time there will be underlying health problems like having high blood pressure.

And there are simple lifestyle changes that you can make to reduce your risk of stroke.

These include keeping fit by doing regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, refraining from smoking and making sure you don’t drink too much alcohol.

Experts advise getting checked over by a GP before embarking on a new exercise regime

Doctors say that regular exercise can halve your risk of stroke.

About 30 minutes of activity five days a week is enough. And you do not have to do it all in one go – it is just as effective to exercise a few times a day in 10, 15 or 20-minute sessions.

But in terms of intensity, erring on the side of caution might be best.

Know your limits

Advocates of high-intensity interval training say doing a few short bursts of exercise each week – four 30-second sprints on an exercise bike, for example – is a good way to keep fit.

The idea is that pushing your body to its limit gives you a better workout.

Studies suggest that high-intensity interval training causes significant changes in a number of important health parameters, and more so than hours of conventional exercise.

It can boost aerobic fitness, as well as viagra shop improve how the body’s metabolic processes.

BBC presenter Dr Michael Mosley gave it a try himself and found some benefits.

But he does point out that high-intensity training will not suit everyone.

And, like any new exercise regime, if you have a pre-existing medical condition you should consult your doctor before trying it.

Add this to the list of reasons why exercise is good for you: A new study says 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity, leisure time exercise is associated with roughly 3.4 years added to a person’s life.

Researchers from the National Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, and other organizations analyzed six different prospective cohort studies of more than 632,000 people ages 40 and older. The studies had a median follow-up period of 10 years, with roughly 82,000 reported deaths. Regular, moderate intensity exercise was associated with an increased life expectancy, even when the person exercising had an unhealthy Body Mass Index (BMI).

Dr. I-Min Lee, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and the senior author of the study, says that not exercising but having a healthy weight was associated with 3.1 fewer years of life, compared to obese people who were active. Conversely, people who exercised 150 minutes a week and had a healthy BMI gained an extra 7.2 years of life.

While it’s best to be at a healthy weight for your body, Lee thinks her team’s analysis demonstrates that every bit of activity helps, regardless of a person’s size.

“This shows if you emphasize physical activity, you still get the benefit,” says Lee. “Overweight, obese, severely obese – if you are active, the results suggest that you … have more of a benefit than someone who is not heavy but not active.”

Exercise may preserve brain better than games

Lee and her team based their calculations on the World Health Organization’s recommendation that adults should get at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity a week. They defined leisure time activity as any physical activity that wasn’t a part of the participants’ jobs, commute, or routine housework, such as organized sports, walking, bowling, gardening and hiking.

The analysis has its limitations, most notably that the buy viagra uk studies it’s based on used self-reported data to determine how much the participants exercised in their spare time and how much they weighed. Also, the studies did not take into account any activity that was done during the participants’ jobs or housework.

Still, Lee says the data is a good reminder that it doesn’t take a lot of time for people to be active and do something to help them live longer.

She told the magazine: “When my kids start asking me if I’m mad at them, and I say, ‘Why do you think I’m mad at you?’ They say it’s because I’m frowning. I go, ‘Oh no! I am? I’ll be right back!'”

Pointing the needle in the other direction, recall how can i get viagra overnight actress Julia Roberts’ anti-Botox comments a couple of years ago: “I want my kids to know when I’m pissed, when I’m happy and when I’m confounded,” she told Elle Magazine. “Your face tells a story … and it shouldn’t be a story about your drive to the doctor’s office.”

Here we have two glamorous celebrity moms in their 40s with opposite feelings about America’s most popular cosmetic surgery procedure, yet both seem to agree that altering the face alters the way we relate to our children.

Have we really talked about this, though? I mean, really talked about it.

Just how does dulling facial expressions, appearing to freeze them in some cases — yes we can tell, Fembots — affect that vital two-way communication street between mother and child? Could not being able to furrow your brow in disapproval when little Johnny throws a fistful of mashed potatoes at your chest make you a less effective mom?

“(Botox) likely does limit and distort parent-infant communication, possibly making the parent look ‘flat’ emotionally,” says Dr. Ed Tronick, associate professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at the University of Massachusetts. “Facial expressions for parents and young children are really critical ways in which we communicate our intentions or whether we’re angry or sad, and that involves this very complex array of all the muscles that go into making facial expressions. So if you limit that range of expression, especially with very young children who are really attuned to reading facial expressions, then you limit the amount of information, the amount of emotion that you communicate using a facial expression.”

Celebs and civilians alike expected to ‘bounce back’ after baby

I was introduced to the notion that babies and infants scan mom’s face — more so than the teenager whose head is buried in a smartphone — while pregnant with my daughter. A friend had given me a copy of “The Female Brain” by Louann Brizendine and I was fascinated to read that female babies are especially sensitive to their mother’s moods and facial cues.

In the months after giving birth, I really went for it in the grinning department, quite possibly setting my daughter up for a successful career as a clown.

Of course, let’s not forget that tots receive information from mom in other ways, like caressing, singing, voice tone and deep sighs when presented with a particularly mortifying loaded diaper. Tronick, who also serves as director of the University of Massachusetts-Boston hospital’s child development unit, says these other channels would make it difficult to separate out and measure a possible Botox effect.

Still, a Botox study came out last year that found the toxin lowers a key emotion: empathy.

Published in the journal of Social Psychology and Personality Science, the paper was based in part on an experiment in which adults who had Botox were compared with adults with the dermal filler Restylane, which unlike Botox doesn’t affect muscle function. At the root of the experiment, says psychologist and co-author of the study David Neal, is the notion that we read a person’s emotions partly by mimicking their facial expressions.

Inject some good ‘ol Clostridium botulinum, and Neal says you likely “subtly impair your ability to mimic other people’s facial expressions.”

Moms gone wild: ’40-year-old reversion’

“Mimicry actually serves important social functions,” he says. “When we mimic someone, they trust us more, like us more, and are more likely to be helpful. Mother-child interaction follows these same rules because children learn to mimic and respond positively to mimicry from a very early age — and it may be innate.”

Right — most new parents squeal with delight the first time their baby copies them by poking their tongue out or blowing a little raspberry.

“So, while no experiments have directly tested this yet,” says Neal, “it is plausible that Botoxed mothers are subtly undermining their ability to connect emotionally with their children.”

Perhaps we can also learn something from so-called “still-face” or “blank face” experiments. In those, researchers study an infant’s reaction while their mothers face them and display no facial expressions whatsoever for a controlled length of time. While unsettling to watch, the studies are said to help teach us how infants’ social and emotional development might be linked to the emotional state of their caregivers. It also offers clues as to the effects of a mother’s post-partum depression on her child.

Tronick started conducting “still-face” experiments more than 30 years ago, and says he finds infants as young as 3-4 months typically respond to their despondent mothers by gesturing to her and trying to illicit a response from her.

“And if it lasts a minute or two, sometimes the babies end up getting upset or crying because of the lack of response on the part of the mother,” he says.

Finding a mom friend in the big city

But when it comes to Botox, Chicago-based plastic surgeon Steven Dayan isn’t convinced the procedure could lead to a mother-child disconnection.

“I categorically, overwhelmingly disagree that that’s even a possibility,” he says. “You’d have to put so much Botox in to reduce that much animation that the person would look like a stroke victim. Even when I’ve put Botox into the upper third of the face where it’s most commonly used, you still have complete animation in the lower two-thirds of your face.”

Dayan, who says quite a few of his patients are new moms anxious for Botox as soon as they stop breastfeeding, maintains that if you emerge from the doctor’s office without being able to move a single muscle on your face, you’ve likely been treated by an irresponsible physician or one who has received poor training.

“Botox should be done in a slight moderate dose so people can still animate,” he says. “You just reduce the appearance of the anger. We’re just blunting the expression … really nobody should know that it was done.”

Furthermore, Dayan says, what’s so bad about a kid not seeing his mother’s face scrunched in anger?

“If these moms can’t make the angry face, or they can’t project this angry image, maybe they are presenting a more positive image to their kids,” he says. “Maybe they’re happier, maybe they’re going to be better parents.”

Possibly, but trying to project a positive image when your child is lowering the pet hamster into the garbage disposal isn’t necessarily productive.

Stay-at-home mom Abbie Gale said her three sons — twins age 12 and an 8-year-old — didn’t notice anything different after she had Botox, aside from the bag of peas plastered to her forehead (to prevent bruising, she says).

She was, however, surprised to discover her marriage benefited from the procedure.

“What I found was this strange warm and fuzzy reaction my husband was having to me looking more relaxed,” said Gale, 39. “It wasn’t my intention but … Botox makes me look like I have things under control, far more than I probably do.

“I was trying to look my best so that my husband would always find me attractive. I didn’t realize that those brow lines were more than just wrinkles. If one of Botox’s side effects is making me look rested and more approachable, then sign me up forever.”

You go, girl!

But when it comes to infants, Tronick doesn’t think a brighter face because of Botox leads to giving off a more positive impression.

“It’s just a momentary phenomenon,” he says. “Very quickly you’re saying, ‘What is this person really feeling? What does this expression mean to me?’ And I think to the infant, they’re not getting any information from the facial expression and they’re wondering, in a sense, ‘Is this a positive facial expression or a negative one?’ There’s nothing to read because it’s not changing.”

Sort of like how repeating a word over and over renders it ineffective. Like yesterday when I said “no” 827 times as I watched my daughter slowly carry my favorite sandal toward the trash can. Where did the shoe end up? In the trash can.

I haven’t tried Botox and can’t say whether I ever will because I don’t own a crystal ball. But I’d like to think my 2-year-old has had all channels of maternal communication fully available to her since her birth. Sure, it makes sense that some moms turn to the needle for some assistance and perhaps when kids are older it’s not a big deal. But when they’re teeny and vulnerable and might be hanging on our every head tilt and smile and squint, would it be wise to hold off on cosmetically enhancing our facial features?

The answer, perhaps, is on the little face looking back at us from the high chair.
