McKellar continued to share her words of wisdom regarding youth and described her daily routine on social media.

“If there’s any secret I’ve found to youth, it’s in the attitude… and a healthy, clean lifestyle, of course. Our minds and bodies are inextricably connected. I’ve found when I eat well and get enough rest and exercise, I have so much more access to that inner joy that makes life fun!”

She went on to discuss making good, “healthy” choices in life as the key to a happier lifestyle and concluded with well-wishes into the new year, along with an additional message of giving back to her favorite charities.

“The other secret to life? Taking all that gratitude and giving back to the world in as many ways as I can. My grandmother always said, ‘The way to be happy is to make other people happy.’ Spread it around… Thank you so much, for everything! And here’s to a wonderful 2023!”
