Ricky Martin, pop musician, actor and author, looks just as youthful and vibrant as he did when he was ‘Livin’ la Vida Loca.’ Ricky said, “I just became vegetarian about three years ago.”

The father of two switched to a vegetarian diet a few years ago, and talks about how wonderful he feels as a meat-free person. Martin was recently asked about the secret to his youthful looks, and he credited the people in his life, his work, and a vegetarian diet, as his anti-aging secrets.

He’s also become quite the cook. A recent dinner of his making included cream of carrot soup, quinoa, rice salad, mashed vegetables, and a potato and sweet potato mixture garnished with sesame and coconut.
