AmericaHealthy eating habits, practicing stretching exercises 5-6 times a week, help Jon Bon Jovi maintain his form, preparing for his 16th album.

Jon Bon Jovi is a singer, producer, and leader of the famous rock band Bon Jovi (founded in 1983). In his career, the male singer has two albums at number one on the Billboard charts and sold millions of copies worldwide. At the age of 62, Jon Bon Jovi still works hard to tour and compose music.

The career of this rock legend shows no signs of slowing down, after four decades of conquering global audiences. He has always been a great inspiration with an active lifestyle, which is reflected in balanced nutrition and regular exercise.

From a frequent fast-food and fried chicken fresco in his 30s, he switched to a nutritious diet of grapes, blueberries, broccoli, yogurt, hummus sauce and sometimes biscuits with a glass of wine.

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

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

Besides eating, Bon Jovi maintains a training schedule with a personal trainer from early in the morning, 5-6 times per week. From heavy weight training and running, he moved on to stretching exercises, increased flexibility, and the use of elastic bands. He admitted that he was no longer as young as he used to be, but that became the motivation for the male singer to maintain his non-stop training.

His passion for tennis is also an integral part of his life, so much so 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 adults need to exercise at least 150 minutes per week. Exercise is not only good for heart health and cancer prevention, it also helps strengthen bones, increase bone density, improve flexibility and mood, and build more muscle to support joints.
