Reba McEntire, originally named Reba Nell McEntire, is an American country pop singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born on March 28, 1955 in McAlester, Oklahoma, USA. When she was young, she was taught by her mom (who was a frustrated country music singer) to play the guitar. After graduating at Southeastern Oklahoma State University, she sang at her local place. She was then invited to sing the national anthem at the National Rodeo in Oklahoma City. When country artist Red Steagall saw her perform, he was enthralled and immediately offered to help her launch a country music singing career. In 1975, she was able to earn her recording contract with Mercury records. Her breakthrough happened in 1984 when she was signed with MCA Nashville Records and released her 7th album Just a Little Love. Nowadays, she is recognized as one of the best country singers in the world. She also appears in certain films and television series.
At 59, Reba still appears unbelievably fit and healthy. Her secret? It’s all about eating the right foods and keeping the body active as much as possible. Here’s what she says during one of her interviews:
“I have to watch what I eat. I splurge every once in awhile, but I do try to watch what I eat, stay away from complex carbs, and eat as much protein and vegetables as possible. Drink lots of water, of course I love my iced tea. I try hard. I fall off the wagon quite a bit, but I try. I stay away from anything that’s white – whether it’s sugar, flour, pasta, rice – those kinds of things, I do better on my dieting.”
Additionally, she’s very much inclined with Pilates and daily walking. “I like doing regular Pilates,” she shares. “It’s a great total body workout that isn’t rough on you.”
