After being diagnosed with cancer in 2006, country rock singer Sheryl Crow is now out of the danger zone and cancer free. Recently, the 47-year-old single-mom shared her post-cancer diet and exercise tips with Health magazine.

Three years after visiting a disease prevention and well-being nutritionist (when she was first diagnosed with the life threatening disease), Sheryl still incorporates those healthy-eating habits in her daily diet.

“I eat salmon or other fish at least three times a week,” she told Health. “I eat a lot of walnuts, almonds, colorful vegetables, and prunes, which get such a bad rap but are loaded with antioxidants.”

Aside from adding enough Omega 3s to her diet, the Grammy Award winner also keeps a “vat” of tomato soup or some sort of tomato sauce around the house because it contains lycopene, and she also drinks a lot of pomegranate juice. Sheryl says she eats Fiber One to get rid of “wastes.”

The Missouri native loves the outdoors and always finds time to fit in some kind of outdoor activity, whether it’s riding her bike or playing tennis and paddle surfing.

“I don’t love going to the gym, but I’ll do it if it’s rainy.”

Good for Sheryl. She looks great!

The one food at the the top of the “anti-cancer” food chain would have to be cruciferous veggies. These are things like broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, arugula, and watercress. That peppery taste you find in these foods are the anti-cancer sulfur compounds at work. Btw, tomatoes contain lycopene which has been associated with reduced risks of prostate cancer.

As far as getting rid of “wastes” you’re better off with unprocessed fruits and veggies than with some packaged product like Fiber One.

While at the 2009 Grammy Awards in February, singer and songwriter Sheryl Crow was caught on the red carpet talking about her workout regimen with E! presenter Giuliana Rancic.  Sheryl was asked what she does to stay in shape, and she replied,

“I used to be a runner, I used to run all the time, but since Wyatt (her son) came, I’ve gotten kind of lax about it.”  She continues, “Recently, a friend turned me on to this P90X, it’s a workout series—it’s ninety days. It’s every different kind of muscle group—Pilates and yoga and weightlifting too…It’s just everything!”

P90X is a system of 12 sweat-inducing and muscle-burning DVD workouts that are to transform your ‘normal’ body into a ripped up and toned machine in 90 days.  Exercises include plyometrics, yoga, Kenpo (type of martial arts) and weight training. There is a three-phase nutrition plan, supplement options, an accompanying fitness guide, calendar and even online support with the celebrity trainer, Tony Horton.  The exercise program is to be followed six days a week through out the 90 days.
