Reaching 51 years of age with an enviable physique and incredible energy is the dream of plenty of people, but for the singer Chenoa it is a reality. The truth is that achieving it isn’t a matter of luck, but of discipline and dedication. That is why Chenoa has revealed what those healthy habits are that she follows and with which she has arrived at her current status.
The great secret of Chenoa to start the day with energy isn’t only what she eats, but how she organizes herself. According to Woman Madame, to save time in the mornings, the singer leaves from the night before a half-prepared coffee, setting up a cup ready with cinnamon, turmeric and ginger, so that upon waking up she only has to “press a button” for the coffee to start brewing. It should also be noted that this, although it may seem like a small gesture, suits her perfectly, since it allows her to cut short the 14 or 16 hours she spends without eating due to intermittent fasting; as she herself says: “I act as if I were my own butler.”
Chenoa’s Breakfast
Moreover, when it comes to breakfast, she doesn’t just drink that coffee; she prepares a very complete meal that keeps her full for hours. This includes eggs with ham or lacón and half an avocado, as well as a special smoothie she makes with half an apple, half a banana, coconut milk, ginger, pumpkin seeds, marine collagen and creatine. This nourishing meal gives her the energy needed to perform her home weight workouts, attend her kickboxing classes, and take long walks with her dog. To cap off her daily routine, Chenoa notes that she always needs to take a nap for about 30 minutes to fully recharge her energy.
What does science say about this?

The type of fasting Chenoa follows is scientifically known as “time-restricted eating.” It consists of concentrating all of the day’s meals within a window of about 8 to 10 hours. Dr. Tim Spector, a renowned epidemiologist and professor at King’s College London, explains that this habit has incredible benefits for our body. According to the expert, when you let the body rest for 14 hours free of food, something magical happens inside us: “You give your gut microbiota time to clean up the grime and reduce inflammation.”
Dr. Spector notes that, just as our cells repair themselves at night, the microbes in our gut take advantage of those fasting hours to act as a “cleaning team”. They sweep up the leftovers, repair the walls of the intestine and help prevent health problems. Moreover, science has already shown that it helps to improve metabolism, provides more energy, enhances mood and helps you sleep better.
A Trick That Is Not for Everyone
Although it works wonderfully for Chenoa, Dr. Spector reminds us that the key lies in personalization. Not all bodies are the same, nor do they react identically to schedules of this kind. Therefore, the expert emphasizes that the most important thing is to listen to our body and adapt it to the things it needs.
