| Actress Reveals the “Bathroom Trick” That Made Her Feel Years Younger | | Los Angeles — Maggie Q is best known for her roles in shows like Nikita and Designated Survivor. But today, the 38-year-old actress isn’t here to discuss her action-packed film and TV career. | | She wants to talk about…going #2. | | It may not be a glamorous topic, but for Maggie, it recently proved to be a life-saver. | | “When you feel sluggish and run-down, it’s easy to say, ‘Well, I guess I’m just getting older,’ but now I know that’s not true — you can be 65 and still feel like you’re 20.” | | Which is why she’s finally decided to share her story with others. | | “For a long time, I thought something was wrong with me. I was always tired, my whole body felt heavy, and my stomach… it wasn’t just bloated, it actually looked huge,” she recalls. | | Like many adults who struggle with these issues every day, Maggie initially thought her diet was the problem, or perhaps she wasn’t exercising enough. | | But last year, she met a doctor who recommended something totally unexpected: | | She just needed to change the way she goes to the bathroom. | | As bizarre as this suggestion seemed at the time, Maggie tried it. And, to her amazement, she says her stomach “deflated,” her mood improved, and her energy skyrocketed — all in a matter of days. | | When Maggie first revealed this “bathroom trick” on her website earlier this month, some were understandably skeptical. But since then, countless people have reported similar results. | | Will it work for everyone? Maggie can’t make any promises. | | “Look, it’s such an easy thing to do, and, for me, it’s made a really big difference,” she says. “So I just want more people — especially women — to know about it.” | | (Editor’s note: Medical experts actually believe it to be particularly effective for men and women over 35.) | | If you’d like to try Maggie Q’s technique yourself, click here for instructions. It’s deceptively simple, so watch carefully. |  |
