Remember a 70s show a curly haired guy in a skin tight outfit with inner organs on it would talk about health?

It was on PBS I think and his outfit was like the immer digestive tract painted on a skin colored spandex bodysuit and he talked to kids about health and nutrition….what was it called?

Slim Goodbody ("the Superhero of Health") is a fictional character created and performed by John Burstein. Slim is a human adult who wears a flesh-colored body suit with various tissues, organs and organ systems painted on it. Burstein created the character in 1975. At that time, Burstein was working at The Floating Hospital in New York City. He began writing songs and skits to entertain the children there and to teach them about anatomy and the workings of the human body. He eventually added an organ-painted body suit to the design, dubbing his alter-ego "Slim Goodbody".

Burstein soon took his character outside the hospital. In his earliest days, he mainly did personal appearances and guest spots on shows such as The Today Show and Good Morning America. His skits also focused on exercise, personal hygiene, and nutrition.

Slim Goodbody eventually received his own television series in 1980, Inside Story on PBS. The program mainly consisted of Burstein’s live-show Slim Goodbody sketches, though other children’s show celebrities such as Captain Kangaroo would sometimes make guest appearances. The show soon became the station’s second-highest rated program, and Burstein landed roles on other stations, including Nickelodeon. Since then, Slim Goodbody has featured in several other series, as well. At one point Slim Goodbody began making educational shorts on such subjects as the fear of visiting a hospital, amongst others. One of these shorts featured Burstein’s son, Devin, as a child learning about hospitals as he overcomes his fears of an upcoming operation.

Beginning in 1982, the character has also appeared in books published by McGraw-Hill, Putnam, and Fairview Press.

Over the years, Slim Goodbody has also addressed child obesity, bullying, personal safety, self-esteem, literacy and environmentalism.

Today, Burstein tours the United States and Canada dressed as Slim Goodbody and performing in The Musical Health Show and Dinosaur Days!. Slim Goodbody also has a sidekick named Bill Strong. Five different actors play this character, allowing Burstein’s program to reach a larger number of children. Burstein is the only actor to play Slim.

Burstein and his Goodbody programs have won numerous awards including the Parents’ Choice Award and the Healthy American Fitness Leader Award.

Anti aging nutrition is OK to restore bad skin but because you are already in your mid 30s. I will not recommend that you use anti aging nutrition. There are other skincare solutions aside anti aging nutrition that would do a great job with your skin once you begin using them.
Moreover, anti aging nutrition might take some time before you notice any signs of improvement in your skin. You can consider using anti aging cosmetics like anti aging cream. It’s really good at restoring damaged aging skin. You can apply it directly on the affected area and see changes occur within a couple of days. Anti aging cream worked wonders for me that’s why I always recommend it to others.
A friend told me about Dermology anti aging solution and I am glad I tried it because it really helped prevent and erase the wrinkles on my face. You should try it. It is a 3 part anti aging solution of anti aging cream, anti aging serum and anti aging eye cream. It also has natural anti aging agents that fights aging of the skin. If you want to know more about this and other anti aging creams , go to: http://www.look-younger-now.info and see what they have to say about it.

How many Hollywood stars manage to stay young for so long?

I look for example at Tom Cruise, he is 47, but looks like 30.
Is this an effect of some skin products? Nutrition?
"They have money" isn’t a good enough answer.
What procedures do they do that cost a lot of money?

I’m sure they get regular facials at good spas or with renowned dermatologists. Facials can get really expensive. And i’m sure they get botox and all that good stuff all the time too. And nutrition they eat about the same as "regular" people but I’m sure they also have a personal chef! At least i would if i had their kind of money!
