Madonna: this is the diet that the artist performs to look young
Madonna doesn't look like 62 years old. This is due, in part, to her strict diet and strenuous exercise routines.
The queen of pop, Madonna, 62, has always been young and healthy. The singer, who has always been characterized by breaking her stereotypes, has delighted her followers on social networks with photos in which she shows her slender body and her smooth skin.
However, it must be emphasized that throughout the years Madonna has always talked about the intense exercise routines and diets that she follows. It should be noted that for each person exercise and diets must be prescribed by an expert.
According to E! News, the singer maintains a diet composed mostly of vegetables. She consumes plenty of vegetables, fruits and fish rich in omega-3s. These include tuna and salmon. However, in recent years the artist focused on a macrobiotic diet.
This type of diet, based on balance - sweet and salty, liquid and dry foods, for example - is based on traditional oriental practices where it is argued that when the balance is broken, the body becomes ill and tends to aging prematurely. However, it does not have any scientific support.
According to the E! News, in the singer's diet milk, coffee, meat and sugar are prohibited. While she can eat whole grains, such as brown rice, vegetables, tofu, and beans of different kinds. These foods make up 50 to 60% of her diet.
In addition, according to El Heraldo de México, Madonna has six meals a day, three of them are the main ones and the rest are simple. Her favorite foods include pineapple juice, organic protein bars, fruits, vegetables, and grains like quinoa. Each meal is separated from the others by two to three hours.
To give a clearer idea of what the singer's diet is like, according to “E!”, This would be Madonna's diet on a normal day:
Breakfast: macrobiotic vegetable soup (organic).
Lunch: Japanese macrobiotic food: steamed vegetables, tofu, seeds, lentils and other grains.
Dinner: steamed fish and organic vegetables.
However, although she has such a strict diet, Madonna assured that she eats outside the home on various occasions when it is a mandatory circumstance. "I no longer go to restaurants, you never know what they can serve you."
Exercise is also key
According to El Heraldo de México, Madonna does not expose herself to the sun, as the sun's rays can damage her skin. Also, it is well known that the queen of pop exercises every day for several hours, so much so that famous exercise guru Tracy Anderson gave up training because she was "unstoppable."
“We trained two hours a day, six days a week. We did 45 minutes of aerobics, dancing. Afterwards, we toned the muscles and, after that, flexibility and definition. We never ran, nor did we use weights over a kilo, because Madonna doesn't want to build too much muscle. Her body is perfect: no fat or cellulite, she is very toned and her arms are incredible, "said Tracy, quoted by Caracol Radio.
According to The Times, the singer - who trained for about two hours six days a week - due to the coronavirus pandemic increased the hours of exercise doing weights, cardio, dancing and aerobics. It should be noted that among her favorite exercises are yoga, push-ups and abdominal work.
