Between his daughter, Sofia Richie Grainge’s, extravagant wedding and his performance at the coronation, Lionel Richie has found himself back in the spotlight recently. The 73-year-old looks amazing, and he recently shared a few things he credits for his youthful appearance and feeling.

Lionel tells the Daily Mail he’s not interested in plastic surgery because it “locks you in for that year [while you recover], and after that, you can’t go naturally, you’re staying right there…You try and go back to reset, and you can’t.” He also points out that things could go wrong with a procedure.

Most importantly to Lionel, he wants to avoid aesthetic procedures so he remains recognizable to someone important. “God might not recognize me [if I get surgery], so I want to make sure he knows me,” says Richie. Therefore he opts for a more holistic approach to anti anti-aging.

Lionel says, “Water, sleep and sweat, not too much red meat,” keep him looking and feeling youthful. “[Sex] will work also, and it’s good for your heart,” he adds. You heard it hear first. Lionel Richie suggests swapping steak for sex and prioritizing rest, exercise and hydration.
