British tabloid the Daily Mail has published a detailed story of how Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger (who turned 68 years old in 2011) has managed to stay so youthful. As avid Rolling Stones fans already know, Mick Jagger's father, Joe Jagger, was a physical-education teacher, so Mick at an early age learned the discipline of regular exercise.
The Daily Mail lists Mick's fitness regime, especially when he is preparing to go on tour:
These days Sir Mick’s regime is master-minded by Torje Eike, a chiselled Norwegian personal trainer whose previous clients include Olympic athletes, national football sides and — somewhat less impressively — former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.
The Daily Mail notes that Mick has drastically cut down on the notorious drug-taking vices that the Rolling Stones had in the 1960s and 1970s. The article also says that Mick rarely drinks alcohol these days. Mick is also particular about the kind of food he eats. According to the Daily Mail:
An enthusiastic convert, Sir Mick professes to eat large helpings.
"People say: 'You’re not eating.' On tour, Sir Mick is rarely parted from a tube of Prescriptives Super Flight Cream, a product noted for its superior moisturising properties for dehydrated skin after long-haul flights.
Sir Mick also applies regular face masks at home, a favourite prior to special occasions being The Lift, a mysterious concoction which is mixed immediately prior to application.
It’s right up Sir Mick’s street — and hang the £300 price tag.
Mick also likes to surround himself with people who are much younger than he is.
The Daily Mail credits Mick's longtime live-in girlfriend, fashion designer L'Wren Scott, for helping Mick maintain a healthier lifestyle.
