Janelle Monáe Flaunts Fit Body on Yacht, "From me to you with love"

Janelle Monáe is boating in her bikini. In a new social media post the singer shows off her amazing body while on the water. "My target hired a private investigator to take these of me. I found them in a slightly bent faint coffee stained manila envelop on his night stand. Naturally, I decided to turn them into summer postcards. From me to you with love," she captioned the Instagram post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

"I do a lot of heavy sweating up on stage," Janelle told Black Doctor about how dancing is her main workout. "We do 90-minute shows — I'm moving around and it's very high-energy. That often becomes my workout, just performing and being onstage. I guess you can say I exercise a lot, but really, I don't realize I'm getting a workout while I'm dancing onstage because I'm always having so much fun." Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

Janelle watches what she eats. "I try to keep a healthy, balanced diet on the road, though it can sometimes be hard. I try to eat a lot of salads while I'm traveling, but when I need a light, fluffy snack, I reach for my pita chips and hummus," she told Black Doctor. She used to be a pescatarian, but revealed to The Cut in 2020 that she ended up with mercury poisoning from eating too much fish. "I started feeling my mortality," she added.

Janelle makes sure her water intake is high. "I also drink a lot of water to stay healthy and preserve my voice on the road. I sip a lot, especially when I'm flying, since airplane travel can dry out your voice like crazy," she told Black Doctor.According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Janelle also keeps herself healthy from the inside out. "In terms of staying fit and healthy, a lot comes from within. The happier you are, the more your beauty comes out. When you have a good heart and positive energy, you and the people around you are better. And that's the best beauty and health advice you'll find anywhere," she told Black Doctor. 

"I think self-care is important, and it shifts with your growth," Janelle told Shape. "It used to be making sure that I take a vacation because I had been working 11 months out of the year. I needed time to play, to let my hair down, and run around naked. All of that is still important. And if I also want to drink, I'm drinking. You know what I'm saying?"
