Lulu’s Bold Lifestyle Shift After a Health Scare at 75
In a candid interview, music legend Lulu recently opened up about a serious health scare that has reshaped her outlook on life at 75. The British pop icon, who rose to fame in the 1960s with hits like "Shout" and "Boom Bang-a-Bang," shared that she’s now more committed than ever to maintaining her health and vitality after discovering she had high cholesterol. This revelation, along with memories of her father's early passing from heart issues, sparked Lulu’s decision to make some significant lifestyle changes.
Lulu explained that her doctor’s warning about high cholesterol was a wake-up call. Knowing that elevated cholesterol can lead to serious heart disease, she decided it was time to make healthier choices. Reflecting on her father's lifestyle — a man who ignored health warnings while working tirelessly in Glasgow’s meat markets — she saw parallels she was determined not to repeat. Her father passed away at 71, which only strengthened Lulu’s commitment to avoid that fate.
Since then, Lulu has implemented several changes to her diet and daily habits. She’s cut out foods that once filled her freezer, like ice cream, and no longer indulges in buttery treats. Now, her mornings begin with hot water and lemon, a hydrating start before a breakfast of porridge or yogurt with granola. She’s also upped her intake of dark leafy greens, like watercress, and added homemade green bean soup to her diet.

A fan of holistic wellness, Lulu keeps hydrated with a blend of water and cranberry juice and enjoys fresh ginger tea before performances to keep her voice clear. Not one to shy away from healthy routines, she rates her health as a nine out of ten, noting how important exercise and organic foods are to her daily regimen.
Though she’s always been health-conscious, Lulu acknowledges that this scare has given her a sharper focus on longevity. Her dedication isn’t just for better health but also for better performance as she prepares to hit the road again. Decades into her career, Lulu remains driven to maintain her energy on stage, ensuring she’s fit and ready for her fans.
Her journey with wellness hasn’t been without challenges. Lulu shared a story from 2012 when she was diagnosed with pneumonia after mistaking it for a minor cough. She pushed through with her tour at the time, but upon returning to London, her doctor was stunned she hadn’t been admitted to the hospital. The experience highlighted the importance of listening to her body and not underestimating health issues, which has influenced her current approach to self-care.
Her beauty and skincare routine also play a big part in Lulu’s life. She’s known for taking meticulous care of her skin, even launching her own skincare line, Time Bomb Beauty, which emphasizes age-defying treatments. Her approach includes keeping her hands as youthful as her face, using leftover facial creams on them and even smoothing cooking oil into her skin when preparing meals. This simple practice, she believes, is one of her secrets to a youthful appearance.
After all these years in the limelight, Lulu’s latest chapter is a reminder of the importance of evolving health priorities as we age. Embracing change, she’s proving that it’s never too late to make choices that benefit both body and spirit.
