At 82 years old, Sir Paul McCartney is still full of energy and impresses fans with his amazing performances, like his headline show at Glastonbury 2022. Even now, the legendary Beatle performs with passion, completing his ‘Got Back’ tour in 2022 and 2023, where he played three-hour shows across different countries.
Many people wonder how McCartney stays so fit and active. Over the years, he has shared some of his habits and lifestyle choices that help him stay healthy.
Diet
McCartney has been a vegetarian since the 1970s, a decision he made with his late wife, Linda. In 1991, Linda even launched her own line of vegetarian food products, which are still popular. McCartney says becoming vegetarian was one of the best choices they made. Studies show that vegetarian diets can reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
Eye Yoga
McCartney practices something called eye yoga to keep his vision strong. He started this after a trip to India in the late 2000s and says he hasn’t needed glasses since. Eye yoga includes simple exercises like warming your eyelids with your palms or focusing on objects at different distances to strengthen your eyes.
Music
Music has been a huge part of McCartney’s life, and it may even help his health. Research shows music therapy can improve memory, mood, and behavior, especially for people with dementia. Studies also suggest that being a musician might lower the risk of dementia.
Exercise
Exercise is another big part of McCartney’s routine. He stays fit by foam rolling, stretching, using a cross trainer, and running sometimes. He also ends his workouts with a headstand, which he says is his favorite part because it challenges his balance and core strength.
With his healthy diet, unique habits like eye yoga, and a love for music and exercise, McCartney sets a great example of how to stay active and happy as you age.
