Whatever it takes!
Pink opens up about her personal health journey — and while it may sound boujee AF, the lessons she’s learned are ones we can all take for granted!
In the new issue of Women’s Health out there, the pop star got candid about her struggle to lose weight and the many steps she took to finally feel like her best self. The 43-year-old had a tough time last year after recovering from hip disc replacement surgery and a second on his back. In addition, he ate more sourdough than his body was used to due to the pandemic, which caused joint pain. All this put together began to make him feel a bit down.

Looking back, the So what The vocalist thinks he might be “depressed” amid the overwhelming time in the world, he told the magazine:
“I was probably a little depressed because of all the loss, and I couldn’t lose weight to save my life. I would go out three hours a day, eat clean, and my metabolism was not working – I couldn’t start anything. And I was like, ‘I I’m tired, I’m sad, I haven’t been away from my family for three years – not even one night. And I just need a moment.'”
To get out of her funk, she booked herself a trip to SHA Health Clinic in Alicante, Spain, he attended a two-week program. During his stay, he followed the Kushi diet, which is an anti-inflammatory diet that includes vegetables, beans, and whole grains. Before every meal, he drinks apple cider vinegar mixed with water and does not drink during meals. According to the regimen, the body absorbs nutrients more effectively if the liquid does not interfere. Interesting!
While the program was suitable for him, the singer found it difficult to be away from his family. He showed his daughter Willow11, and a son Jameson6, with your husband Carey Hart. The family unit usually stays together 24/7 – including during Pink’s tour! – so this is a major deal for momma bear, she said:
“This is the longest I’ve been away from my children, and the biggest gift I’ve ever given. I did it for me, it’s going to be for them.
Sometimes you have to get ahead of yourself! We’re sure he knows!

When in Grammy champion got to be more than a two-week trip, his biggest takeaway is the opportunity to “rest,” the Won’t Dance Anymore artist says:
“I rested. I haven’t rested yet. I slept in my own bed for the first time in 11 years. I have time to meditate and cry and journal.
So, it is very important!
