Vegetarian Star

At 62, soulful British R & B singer Billy Ocean is looking better than some men half his age. He attributes this to the vegetarian diet he adopted two decades ago.

Add this to the fact that he runs every day, tends to a garden and avoids taking medications intended to promote “health” and you get a formula for someone who’ll likely see 20 more years of prosperity.

“When my mother died from ovarian cancer in 1989, it transformed my life. I looked at how she’d lived — an honest, incredibly hard-working woman — only to die just three years after I was successful enough to buy her a house and take care of her,” he said.

“I realised I had to take care of myself. So I took a five-year break from music to spend time with my wife and three children. I became more spiritual and just went off meat.”

It helps that he has his own Carribean Queen to ensure a plate of wholesome food is available every evening.

“My wife is a wonderful cook, so I enjoy beans, pulses, soya, Caribbean vegetables such as plantain, and fruit, especially mangoes. I avoid processed food. I became a vegetarian 20 years ago.”
