The mother of four responded that her No. 1 wellness tip is drinking lots of water.
“Water, water, water,” she said. “I drink water all day. I even have it next to my bed, drinking it all night.”
“My mom swears by it. My mom walks miles and miles every day, drinks tons of water, and she literally looks like she’s aging backwards,” the singer added. “We’re like Benjamin Button. We’re about to meet in the middle and look the same age here soon. She looks incredible.”

In addition to focusing on hydration, Decker continues to follow many of her mother’s practices, including eating “really healthy.”
“We cook everything at home. I mean, I barely go out,” she said. “Everything I make is from scratch from home.”I really think when you know what you’re putting in your body, that’s the best bet always.”
She summarized, “Water, cook at home and just stay active — it’s really that simple.”
Decker also instills this mentality into her children — Vivianne, Eric Jr., Forrest and Denver — as sports, outdoor play and pickleball are daily rituals in their household.

“They’re active … they are busy, busy, busy. They don’t sit around on iPads. They’re out there in the wildlife, barefoot and being free.”
Staying active is something the entire family embraces together, especially when they’re traveling.

One sport in particular has become a family favorite.
