After being diagnosed with cancer in 2006, country rock singer Sheryl Crow is now out of the danger zone and cancer free. Recently, the 47-year-old single-mom shared her post-cancer diet and exercise tips with Health magazine.
Three years after visiting a disease prevention and well-being nutritionist (when she was first diagnosed with the life threatening disease), Sheryl still incorporates those healthy-eating habits in her daily diet.
“I eat salmon or other fish at least three times a week,” she told Health. “I eat a lot of walnuts, almonds, colorful vegetables, and prunes, which get such a bad rap but are loaded with antioxidants.”Aside from adding enough Omega 3s to her diet, the Grammy Award winner also keeps a “vat” of tomato soup or some sort of tomato sauce around the house because it contains lycopene, and she also drinks a lot of pomegranate juice. Sheryl says she eats Fiber One to get rid of “wastes.”
The Missouri native loves the outdoors and always finds time to fit in some kind of outdoor activity, whether it’s riding her bike or playing tennis and paddle surfing.
“I don’t love going to the gym, but I’ll do it if it’s rainy.”
