At the age of 62, Jon Bon Jovi is still tirelessly touring and composing music.

From a frequenter of fast food and fried chicken restaurants in his 30s, he switched to a nutritious diet with grapes, blueberries, broccoli, yogurt, hummus and sometimes cookies and a glass of wine.

Jon Bon Jovi focuses more on controlling carbohydrates and gluten (a group of proteins found in grains). The rock star also gave up some of his favorite pasta, steak, and fatty proteins, replacing them with lean foods like chicken, fish, and protein smoothies. Studies show that scientific nutrition with healthy foods and reasonable doses helps strengthen bones, protect the heart, prevent disease, and improve mood.

In particular, this diet helps maintain a moderate weight, reducing the risk of chronic health problems, including: heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer…

In addition to eating, Bon Jovi maintains a workout schedule with a personal trainer from early morning, 5-6 times a week. From heavy weightlifting and jogging, he switched to stretching exercises, increasing flexibility and using elastic bands. He admits that he is no longer as young as before, but that is the motivation for the male singer to maintain constant training.

His passion for tennis is also an indispensable part of his life, to the point that he even dreams of becoming a professional tennis player in the senior category.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), older people need to exercise at least 150 minutes a week. Exercise is not only good for heart health and cancer prevention, it also strengthens bones, increases bone density, improves flexibility and mood, and builds more muscle to support joints.
