What Really Happened To Cameron Diaz?

Even before she officially announced her retirement, Cameron Diaz had already found success in another career path. Diaz released "The Body Book: The Law of Hunger, the Science of Strength, and Other Ways to Love Your Amazing Body" in 2013, and the book ended up becoming a No. 1 New York Times bestseller. Her 288-page work is said to provide "a holistic, long-term approach" to "a long, strong, happy, healthy life." Later, in 2016, Diaz shared a follow-up guide, called "The Longevity Book: The Science of Aging, the Biology of Strength, and the Privilege of Time." That volume explores "how the female body ages — and what we can all do to age better" from a holistic perspective.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Diaz discussed creating her second book. She stated that the lack of single-source information and conflicting answers on the various issues that surround women's bodies as they age was what led her to make "The Longevity Book." Diaz said, "We're told a lot of different things about one thing or the other, and of course a ton of different fads are going on, like, 'Do this!' or 'Do that!'" Though the former film star admitted that harsh beauty standards make it difficult to "embrace" aging as something natural, she still hoped that her second publication would allow readers to view their changing bodies in a positive way.
