“It was really scary because it’s one of the biggest risk factors for coronary heart disease,” the star admitted. She added that her father’s death caused her to reevaluate her way of life.
“My father’s death at the age of 71 was devastating,” Lulu said. “I loved him dearly. He worked in the Glasgow meat market for many years and was a great singer. Unfortunately he didn’t take good care of himself and had health issues. I had received a lot of warnings, but I ignored them.”

“If I were to rate my health on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give myself a 9. I’ve always been careful about exercise and eating right. There are so many chemicals in my diet. I eat organic food, “as opposed to non-organic produce,” she revealed.

The star also revealed that she loves dark green leafy vegetables. Lulu said: “Cress and green bean soup is my favorite. I also take a flask with me on tour. I drink at least a liter and a half of water with cranberry juice every day, and before that I drink ginger tea.” When I go on stage, my vocal cords become clean. ”
