Toni Braxton in Bikini Says “It’s the First of the Month”
Toni Braxton is baring all in a bikini. In a new social media post, the 57-year-old singer shows of her fantastic-at-57 figure in a skimpy swimsuit while vacationing in Jamaica. “It’s the 1st of the month…Happy Friday y’all!” she captioned the Instagram post. How does the Grammy Award-winning singer look half her age? Here is everything to know about her top diet and fitness tips.
Eat a Plant-Based Diet
Toni tries to avoid animal products. “I’m becoming plant-based. I’m in the process,” she told Prevention, revealing that she weaned herself off of meat and became a pescatarian. “But I’m going fully plant-based. It’s making me feel better, so there is some truth it.”
Exercise Every Day
Braxton sweats regularly. “I work out every day, every single day, seven days a week,” she told Healthy Living. “If I do cardio, I work on my treadmill. I walk 40 minutes on my treadmill every single day. I’m very lucky, because as a singer, we always use our force. It’s like nature’s sit-ups for singers, but I work out every day.”
Take Care of Your Health Issues
Braxton was diagnosed with Lupus in 2008. At the time, she was in and out of the hospital for months. “I remember having to tell my kids that I have lupus. It was difficult,” she told Prevention. Due to the autoimmune disorder, she has to be incredibly strict about her diet, especially when she has to take steroids to treat it. “I may have lupus, but I decided I was not going to be a victim,” she says. “Now, I listen to my body,” she said. “I’ve been very lucky. Never had a struggle with weight prior to my illness. Being on steroids, I never had a problem with that,” she told Healthy Living.
Drink Wine
Toni drinks a glass of wine every night. “This is old school, but what works for me is I take a half a glass of wine every night. It heals everything. Some people take Robitussin pills every night. I take a half a glass of wine, a nightcap, every night. Not a lot: just a little bit. It keeps my blood thin. It keeps my motion going. It keeps me clear-headed. I just think it’s nature’s tonic,” she told Healthy Living.
Start the Day with Hot Water and Lemon
Braxton starts the day with a concoction of “hot water, lemon, and a sprig or two of mint in there,” she revealed to Healthy Living. “I have two cups of that almost every day, at least four days a week. Keeps the pipes going, keeps my skin feeling great, gives me energy in the morning without making me feel anxiety.”
