At 65, actor Gabriel Corrado has revealed the secrets behind his sustained fitness and well-being, emphasizing a lifestyle shift that has significantly transformed his body. Corrado shared his habits during an appearance on Mario Pergolini's program, "Otro día perdido."

I wake up between 7:30 and 8. I drink two 200-milliliter glasses of warm water, then go for a walk or jog because I get very bored at the gym.

— Gabriel CorradoCorrado describes his morning routine and preference for outdoor exercise.

His day begins between 7:30 and 8 a.m. with two glasses of warm water. Instead of heading to the gym, which he finds boring, Corrado opts for walking or jogging, often listening to music. He incorporates bodyweight exercises like pull-ups, which he calls a "discovery," increasing his repetitions from two to sixteen. He aims to maintain this routine almost daily.

Pull-ups are a 'discovery.' You hold on and lift yourself with your own body weight. I used to do two, now I do sixteen, eight and eight. I recommend it because you lift your body weight.

— Gabriel CorradoCorrado explains the benefits of pull-ups as part of his exercise regimen.

Corrado's dietary approach is equally disciplined. After his morning exercise, he has a breakfast of two eggs, half an avocado, and a spoonful of olive oil, consciously avoiding pastries, bread, gluten, and flour. He explained that cutting out these items helped him shed two stubborn kilograms and reduced bloating, leading to a noticeable change in his physique.

I don't eat pastries or bread in the morning. I've cut out flours and gluten because they don't agree with me. I really had two kilos I couldn't lose, and I felt bloated when I ate flour, and that changed my body.

— Gabriel CorradoCorrado details his dietary changes, emphasizing the elimination of gluten and flour.

He skips lunch, considering his breakfast a "brunch." His only other meal is a late afternoon green tea with nuts, typically dates. Dinner, his final meal of the day, is usually around 8 p.m. and consists of meat or fish. Corrado also noted that he no longer needs sleep aids, taking magnesium before bed instead. While he avoids alcohol regularly, he does indulge occasionally when dining with friends or if he craves pizza.

You do a lot to have a pleasant life, to have a good time. Alcohol, never anything?

— Mario PergoliniPergolini asks Corrado about his alcohol consumption.
