On October 30, Ivanka Trump turned 43 years old. She took to X a few days later to share tips and insights she’s learned and come to cherish throughout the years. 

The first lesson she shared was simple: “Family and friends are everything.”

She went on to remind others that “everyone was sent to teach you something” — and encouraged people to avoid gossip while choosing their words wisely. 

“Everyone was sent to teach you something.”

“Trust yourself. Identify your core values and live in alignment with them; this may mean setting firm boundaries for yourself and with others,” she wrote.

On a health and wellness note, Trump emphasized the importance of nourishing your body by “eating whole, locally grown, nutritious foods” that can “fuel your energy and spirit.”

She recommended getting “sunshine daily,” saying that “it makes the rest of your day — and night — better.”

She added, “Get curious. About your partner, your kids, your friends and the world around you.”

To conclude her life lessons, she also said, “Here’s to another year of growth, love, and meaningful moments!”

Elon Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to nutrition.

During a Thursday appearance on Fox Business’ “The Bottom Line,” Musk was asked about “Make America Healthy Again,” the wellness initiative from former President Donald J. Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which focuses on choosing healthier foods.

The model and dietitian, 76, said she saw many diet-related health conditions while running her private practice for 40 years.

“The main issues were obesity, high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes,” Musk said.

“Once they started changing their diets, their blood values looked better — and it just decreases the expense of treating these patients.”

Musk emphasized the importance of communities working together for better health.

“We need to be able to teach people to eat better, and to have communities doing it together,” she said. 

“Because it’s hard when you have a community that loves to eat a lot of food and then you have to try to pull yourself back.”

As a proud grandmother of 14 grandchildren, Musk said she takes measures to provide healthy foods and snacks.    

“You’ll never see chips and cookies in my home,” she said, joking that “as my grandkids say, ‘I’ve got no food.’”

Musk also alluded to the addictive nature of unhealthy foods.

“If you start on them, you can’t stop,” she said. 

“And so I’d rather not start with them.”

Instead of processed foods, Musk said she sticks with healthier choices like fruits, vegetables, yogurt, milk, cereal and whole-wheat bread.

  

Mus has previously credited her “flexitarian diet” for helping her look and feel her best.
