The move marks a new chapter for the former Byker Grove star, who announced earlier this month that she had left the UK for America. Donna Air Embarks on New AdventureAir explained that her decision to move was driven by significant changes in her personal life. Her daughter left home, her dog passed away, and then her father, Trevor, died from cancer earlier this year. She said these events made her realize she needed a fresh start.She decided to pack up her belongings and embark on the gap year she never had, seeking new adventures, friends, conversations, and energy. She noted that everything had felt stuck, and the move has been amazing, providing new inspiration and creativity. She added that she feels more creative again and expects to return to the UK with a spring in her step.Fitness and Diet Secrets at 47Last month, Air revealed her diet and fitness secrets after marking her 47th birthday with a nude photograph that impressed fans. In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, she shared how she maintains her figure, from her eating habits to her workouts and wellness treatments.Despite her enviable shape, Air insists there is no punishing diet. She said she has always eaten whatever she wants and that food is one of her biggest joys. She gets excited about food, including where it comes from and how it is prepared. She avoids processed food, focuses on quality over quantity, and enjoys hearty, tasty meals. She stays hydrated with water, electrolytes, and coconut water.Her approach to her body has changed with age, especially after her father Trevor's death from cancer earlier this year. She said that one of the privileges of getting older is caring less about what people think and being less hard on oneself. She feels more grateful for her body now, and witnessing her father's palliative care gave her a new appreciation for a body that works. She realizes how quickly physical and mental health can be lost, which has made her determined to enjoy her body while she can. She now focuses on feeling strong, healthy, and capable rather than on appearance, aiming for stamina and endurance to enjoy life.Prioritizing Strength and WellnessAir said her weight has remained relatively stable throughout adulthood, but turning 47 has shifted her priorities toward preserving muscle and bone health. She noted that she has always been petite and her weight has not fluctuated much, but she is conscious of her small frame, especially as she ages.She is increasingly interested in looking after her bones, muscles, and overall strength. She takes vitamin D, essential fatty acids, collagen, and other supplements, and ensures she gets enough protein. Air's move to LA and her focus on wellness reflect a positive outlook as she embraces her gap year and new adventures.
