Ofori Amponsah has said the secret to looking youthful at 51 isn’t in expensive creams or special treatments, but in a disciplined fasting routine he’s followed for years. The Ghanaian Highlife singer revealed that he commits to fasting for up to three weeks every year, allowing his body to reset and flush out harmful substances.
During an interview on Daybreak Hitz with Doreen Avio and Kwame Dadzie, he opened up about how this practice has become a key part of his lifestyle.
“Sometimes I fast for two weeks. Every year I fast. Sometimes I do it for 21 days, and then just cut back on food and everything. That’s all. And a bit of training; walking, I will go to my farm, see the chicken, everything and laugh,” he said.
Ofori Amponsah stated that fasting is not just a spiritual or religious exercise, but a physical cleanse that contributes to overall well-being.
“It’s very important to fast if you want to live long. Some of the food we take in are toxic, so sometimes when you break the system for a while it gets rejuvenated,” he asserted.
The ‘Otoolege’ singer recommended that anyone who struggles with long fasts could start with smaller habits, such as skipping breakfast and eating only after midday.
