She explained: ‘I always say the tennis court is my gym – I love tennis. I started playing it with my son when he was about seven. I was older, early forties. With tennis, I forget I’m training because it’s a game.
“If I can play tennis regularly — which is, again, depending on where I am — playing three to five times a week isn’t for me.”

“It’s very hard to find an exfoliator that I really like. I’ve tried so many. I’ve also tried very fine sand, but it’s a bit too abrasive. Sugar works well because it softens with a little warm water and it’s not harsh on the skin.’

Although she avoids sugar, the singer balances clean eating with the occasion of indulgence
The country superstar sticks to a protein-based diet that’s high in veggies and no meat — and does her best to avoid sugar and junk foods in her daily meals.
Shania once called her vegetarian eating habits her secret to aging and even travels with a blender to ensure she can make healthy smoothies when she’s on tour or at work events.
The singer told E! Insider in 2018 that while she gets stricter with her diet during her tour, she never limits herself from the strange treat because “you have to live”.
She explained: “As I get closer to touring, I get a lot disciplined. There’s a point where I start weaning chips and I start weaning my green smoothies, but I’m generally always very conscientious about what I eat.”
Meanwhile, she previously told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “I stick to a mix of really raw, whole foods every day. I make sure to eat vegetables every day, and nuts and foods that have not been processed. I do that every day.
“If you end up eating bread, rice and pasta to satisfy yourself, then you probably aren’t necessarily eating healthier. You may be saving yourself some of the drawbacks of eating meat. But you don’t necessarily benefit from eating the starch.’
On a typical day, the singer prefers a liquid form of breakfast—usually mixing coconut water, avocado, and an apple into a smoothie.
She told The Cut: “When I don’t have access to coconut water, it’s blueberries and almonds — that’s one of my favorite things to eat. I try to eat first thing in the morning when I get up before showering or anything like that.”
For lunch, Shania prefers lean protein options packed with non-starchy vegetables, such as lentil bowls, quinoa, chickpeas, and salad.

As for dinner, Shania continues her vegetarian diet with meals like tofu stir-fry — though she balances clean eating with the occasional indulgence, like dill pickle chips and French fries.
