Great! Last I heard she took her kids off dairy and put them on soy. Looks like she knows better now, though!

Getting the kids off of dairy is major. My own nephew is still on it and it's not easy standing by watching. I have to keep my mouth shut you know until he gets older and I can spoil him. haha. Remember it's rough for most parents to have to navigate in certain countries being raw foodists, especially when they're in the spotlight. Maybe Madonna's children are even raw and she and hubby are keeping it to themselves.

Anybody know how long she has been a raw foodist???

[cara4art]

Don't know how long Madonna has been into raw food, but she has a long fitness history including gym work, Ashtanga yoga, and many vegetarian years which I believe were macrobiotic for part of that time as well as vegan. So going raw is a natural progression from that, whatever amount of time she's been into it. Hey if she takes that part public, think what an influence she'd have on people's diets, both older and younger, because there are lots of fans that look up to her! The first because this is what's possible at middle age if you eat right and solidly exercise for years, and the second to get young women out of the anorexic/eating disorder super-skinny aspirations and into eating right and physical discipline at an early age!
So, yes, she's had plastic surgery(who in the entertainment business hasn't these days, or at least they're next up for that, or thinking about it anyway!), but no doubt about it, she has also been very disciplined with her diet and fitness training as well, which totally shows.

She is why I originally purchased Raw by Juliano maybe 3-4 years ago...:D

[jordanjuju]

Another super fabulous reason to love the raw food lifestyle. =D

It works both ways....Mick Jagger just turned 65. He dances an average of 2 miles every show and has been heavily into fitness for years.

Yes much respect goes to Mick. But I wonder what his diet consists of? Um, even though he's got it going on, he doesn't look "healthy" to me. Perhaps it's his previous hard lifestyle with toxic substances that is still showing up despite his efforts. ??? I only posted the info about Madonna specifically because she is Raw. I think if he was eating Raw (assuming he isn't) it would help him heal exponentially - find his true body, detox etc. But who am I to say? He's on his path and he seems fine with himself.

How do you know she's raw? :confused:

WikiAnswers is user generated content and so isn't a credible source. I couldn't see any mention of raw food in the other link.

[jordanjuju]

I know she's raw because I can see her and know what she's capable of. =D The woman is like 50 years old!

[domestic goddess]

Mick Jagger ***shudders*** I don't think he is in the same class of health as Madonna, sorry.

I do know that Madonna was raw at one point, as the show I saw that featured Juliano had talked about Madonna being raw, along with a few other stars. This was a couple years ago so I don't know if she still is. Like someone mentioned, she seems to go through 'phases' as alot of us do.

[Lelê]

I don't think Madonna looks that good or that healthy, for that matter...

*ducks from tomatoes* http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/Totalele/thchair.gif

[srsarri]

I think Madonna looks REALLY BAD... she always looks boney and strung out! but thats my personal opinion!

Also, you can tell she GLOBS the makeup on.

[Bodhi]

Having a little work done...

:eek: :rolleyes: :p :D

[Frugal Raw]

I never knew this either, but it doesn't surprise me at all:D

[jordanjuju]

I think its amazing that people actually say Madonna doesn't look good... the woman is in her 50s! How would you like her to look? She isn't going to have an excess of body fat because of all that she does. And I'd like to see you try to name one pop star who doesn't "glob" on the makeup. (= Even the men! LOL

[Dimond]

If you do a search, you will find many links leading back several years in reference to Madonna being raw.
Here's one from 2004:

Jordan, I concur.

The older and more humbler I become, I am beginning to see the light and beauty in everyone. Even those who would be socialized and judged as "unattractive". Edit: And I think Mick Jagger is beautiful, just doesn't emanate good health to me.

I respect those that don't see the health & beauty in Ms Madonna though, don't understand it, but I respect their viewpoint. Her beauty transcends the physical to me - she is a very bright and obviously tremendously capable spirit. She demonstrates what we're all capable of achieving. Just my opinion. :)

I'm 45 and there are celebs and 'regular' folks who are dropping dead only a few years older than me. For example, Bernie Mac was only 50 years old! It's a weird sensation given I've always felt young and seeing people my age transitioning is very eye opening. Boomers are aging and getting sick. At the same time I'm feeling very blessed in regards to the path that I'm on and that I woke up in time to begin making positive & conscious choices in my life. Yeah I remember Madonna when her first "shocking" video came out and she was not in the state of health she's in now and neither was I! Madonna being 50 and in outstanding health (compared to the current norms) says a lot to me and it's very inspiring. I say "right on!" I think this is also unconsciously why I felt compelled to post.

My credible source is my intuition.

I was just posting it to appease those who need stats, but I guess I didn't pick the right site. :p ha.

Peace.

Ditto to that, I could not have said it better! I admire madonna very much. She turned 50 yesterday and has the stamina of a 20 year old. Amazing woman indeed!

[sarahtolson]

Yeah.. I don't trust user generated sites. Anyone can type in anything. :)

And, the hands in that picture were completely photoshopped. I am a pro photographer, and they made her hands look worse than they really are. :)

[Davylp25]

I just read an interview or saw it, not sure, and she didnt say no darn thing about raw... They asked what she ate, and she mentioned chicken, she even mentioned lamb... protein stuff...So not sure how that is raw... oh well!

[sbaker]

i think madonna without good lighting looks kinda scary... her arms freak me out! its like muscle hanging off of bone. I also lost respect for her when she glamorized bullfighting and a few other things i find cruel.... i know plenty of 60 year old women that look better!

[RawSinger]

Everyone is entitled to there opinion about what is attractive and what isn't. I've never found Madonna to be beautiful but she looks pretty darn good for 50; she looked pretty good even before the plastic surgery. I can't say I respect Madonna entirely, but I respect her for showing that women can be fit and fab in their fifties. If she truly is a raw foodist, then good for her, and hopefully it will give the raw food diet good publicity. When people found out that Madonna was a yoga freak, yoga greatly increased in popularity. I'm not keen on people copying celebrities but when it's something positive, what's the harm?

[Jenifae]

The article didn't state anything about her being "RAW". I have watched a few interviews with her and from what I've heard her talk about was that she does "Macrobiotic Diet" and she eats meat.
So, there ya go.

People who do yoga often look awesome at 60.

I think Madonna looks good because of that.

Lele- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I love the chair..make some room for me because I need to duck also. This post caught my eye and so I decided to click on it.

I don't know that she is or isn't. But in my own humble opinon, her outward appearance presents a person who looks very stressed and drained (and that's in the very recent - this month- pics that have been on the tv or the net. Very likely that stress can be a factor with all the current attention being given to her relationship. Stress can wreak havoc on us as we all know
