Barbara Eden credits her youthful energy to positivity and exercise. In a 2024 interview with Fox News, she shared that she regularly uses a stationary bike or takes brisk walks. She also lifts five-pound weights, noting they are "good for your bones."
Eden combines her exercise routine with a positive outlook. She spends quality time with her husband of 35 years, Jon Eicholtz.
"I don’t think I want to embrace the bad," she told Forbes in 2025. "I don’t do that. It’s so much more fun to be on the plus side, you know? The best things happen when you expect it."
