Usher is revealing how he maintains his health. During a recent interview withEssence Weekly Magazine, the 45-year-old “Yeah!” hitmaker explained why he chooses to fast once per week.
“I fast, not for religious purposes, but it’s something my grandmother practiced,” he told the outlet on Monday, June 17. “I fast on Wednesdays. I typically try to start around 11 p.m. the previous day, then go the entire day on Wednesday just drinking water.”
The singer-songwriter also pointed out what he drinks during his normal nutrition days.
“I’ve been doing this concoction of lemon, ginger, water and cayenne pepper. I drink it hot,” Usher said, while detailing the beverages he has throughout each week.
Although most recall the old saying that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, the “OMG” artist admitted that he won’t have it before working out.
“I don’t like to eat breakfast before I’ve worked out or done something physical,” he said, before adding that he prefers, “taking a walk, stretching or doing yoga, sitting in the sun and raising my body’s natural heat levels. Then I eat.”
