Our answer to Hollywood. How Valeria keeps slim at the age of 52

People’s Artist of Russia Valeria recently turned 52, and she still looks more like a teenager than a life-long mother of three. The slim, bright and plastic singer does not hide how she manages to carry her youth through the years – she often gives interviews about it and shares video of training with her followers in Instagram.

Yoga is the best sport

Valeria admits that throughout her life her weight practically does not change. “As was 55 kg at the age of 18, and now,” – says the singer. But she was indifferent to sports at first – all the strength the girl gave to the music school. True, she has always been mesmerized by the plasticity of gymnasts and ballerinas, and she even as a child easily sat on the twine. But in physical education still had a stable “C”, and seriously involved in sports only after she realized that the risk of being left without a gold medal. In high school, she became interested in the fashionable at that time aerobics and eventually became friends with sports for life.

The girl tried all kinds of fitness, even bodybuilding, but eventually settled on yoga. She learned all the wisdom of yoga at home using video lessons, carving out any free minute in her busy schedule.

I recommend yoga to everyone, regardless of age or lifestyle. Thanks to yoga, I feel in better physical shape today than I did when I was 17 years old. I know my body better, feel more plastic and stronger. Yoga has a fantastic effect on my inner state and adds to my inner strength.

So says the singer in an interview with Hello magazine. She is so passionate about yoga that she even wrote a book “Yoga with Valeria. Secrets of beauty and slimness.

At the same time Valeria still tries to regularly attend gyms and run in the morning. She finds time for sports even on tour and works out 4-5 times a week. Now, on quarantine, and even more. “Training six times a week, otherwise, I think, you can go crazy from the static existence,” – wrote the singer in Instagram.

Green tea and kefir days

“My slimness is not a gift of nature at all. To look good, you have to put a lot of effort – it and physical activity, and, of course, strict adherence to the principles of good nutrition. I excluded from the diet fried, smoked, sweet, flour, refused butter, do not eat in one meal protein and carbohydrate products. Once a week I organize unloading kefir days. Mode of eating prefer fractional, 5-6 times a day in small portions, “- shares the secrets of slimness singer. To this we can add that the singer is completely indifferent to alcohol and does not touch cigarettes.

Valeria never misses breakfast – in the morning she prefers cottage cheese or porridge, drink a lot of water and green tea, and dinner very early – the artist has long accustomed herself not to eat after six. She prefers natural sweets – honeycomb honey, fresh fruits and dried fruits, such as apple chips. Her main diet consists of fresh and stewed vegetables, fish, seafood, veal and chicken.

Sometimes she can allow herself liberties – for example, on vacation or at a family feast. Maybe indulge in a slice of dark chocolate with tea. If suddenly need to urgently lose a few pounds, sits on a diet. She used to be generally fond of them, but now she tries to eat moderately: “Any diet, especially mono, breaks the usual balance in the body, disrupts the work of the gastrointestinal tract. That’s why I rarely resort to protein diets, and I’ve given up the rest of them altogether.

Good genes

Of course, all people are different, and aging is influenced not only by our lifestyle and health, but also by genes. Undoubtedly, Valeria puts a lot of work into her appearance and is a supporter of a healthy lifestyle, but some people are naturally given to keep a young look until old age. We think Valeria is lucky in this respect, and her labor was multiplied by good genes. It is this combination of factors and allows her to look so young.

The singer’s grandmother lived to be 100 years old and remained active and vivacious until her death. The same can be said about her mother, who recently turned 82 years old. Galina Nikolaevna leads an active lifestyle, travels a lot, and recently lost a dozen pounds, starting to eat according to the methods of her daughter. It should be noted that Valeria strikingly resembles both her mother and grandmother.

Is it possible to give this blossoming woman 82 years old? Of course, she no longer looks like a girl, but she is not a feeble old woman either. And what a beauty she was in her youth! Just like Valeria – the same eyes, the same face and a radiant smile.

Skin care and no plastic surgeons

Valeria admits that after 30 you can’t do without the services of professional beauticians. Every two months she goes for plasmolifting and laser lifting procedures, and in between she carefully takes care of her skin at home. She also prides herself on not having plastic surgery. “Yes, you can get plastic surgery by ‘tying’ the skin on the back of your head. But an easy gait, graceful posture, healthy joints – in general, all that distinguishes the young – you will not give any surgeon,” – said the singer in an interview with “7 Days”.

Regular procedures, good cleansing, properly selected creams, face masks and adequate sleep – these are the main principles of Valeria’s skin care. Plus, of course, Valeria takes care of her skin from ultraviolet light and uses SPF products in summer. All this allows her to look great even without makeup.
