The “9-1-1 Lone Star” actor Rob Lowe reveals his morning routine, diet, and lifestyle choices contributing to his ageless appearance.
In a recent feature on USA Today’s “The Essentials,” Rob Lowe, soon to celebrate his 60th birthday in March, spilled the beans on the secrets behind his seemingly halted aging process. Lowe’s unique approach to maintaining his youthful glow involves a combination of quality sleep, a disciplined diet, and a positive mindset.
Lowe emphasized the importance of a good night’s sleep in preserving his vitality. Without revealing a specific number, he admitted to getting an “embarrassing amount of sleep,” prioritizing rest even during daytime travels. The actor, who naps in his black Cadillac Escalade SUV, shared, “I have it down to a science. The eye mask, the Bose noise-canceling headphones. And I’m gone.”
The renowned actor attributes part of his ageless appearance to his commitment to the Atkins diet—a low-carb, high-protein regimen. Lowe acknowledged the dietary shift he made in his 30s, realizing the impact of nutrition on maintaining a healthy physique. “You’re only as good as what you eat,” Lowe stated, emphasizing the significance of mindful eating.
Having served as an Atkins spokesperson since 2018, Lowe acknowledged occasional cravings for carb-packed meals, expressing his love for pies and milkshakes. However, he remains dedicated to his diet, highlighting the benefits of low carb and low sugar consumption. In Lowe’s words, “It’s more than beauty sleep. It’s brain sleep, it’s body sleep, it’s focus.”
Beyond his dietary choices, Lowe has maintained sobriety for an impressive 33 years. He believes this decision not only contributes to his overall well-being but also positively impacts his physical appearance. “When you think about the calories and the bloat you’re missing. That just adds up. So that’s super helpful,” Lowe explained.
Lowe’s mornings start on a positive note with a gratitude list that includes his family, health, and sobriety. Additionally, he expresses gratitude for his four dogs (Daisy, Oscar, Owen, and Bella) and the opportunity to pursue a career he loves. Reflecting on his routine, Lowe said, “Some days it’s longer, some days it’s shorter.”
As Lowe approaches this milestone birthday, his age-defying secrets serve as an inspiration for those seeking the fountain of youth, emphasizing the significance of sleep, diet, and positive habits in the quest for timeless vitality.
