He has also admitted that he regularly drinks cranberry juice mixed with fizzy water in order to help cut down his cravings for alcohol. I suppose this probably has something to do with creating the texture and taste (ish) of drinking wine without actually taking in any alcohol.Drinks Matcha Tea

Originally, Brad Pitt turned to vegetarianism in order to try and cut down on some fats and hopefully stop him from ageing.

Yep, vegetarianism wasn't enough for Brad Pitt and eventually he decided that he needed to turn to veganism instead.

It's probably quite likely that Brad Pitt doesn't make all of his meals for himself, he might have a personal chef to do things for him. But he also knows it isn't all about what you DO eat but also about the things that he should be trying to avoid too. He restricts his calories just like us normals.Takes Ice Baths

Ice baths really are the practice that separate boys from men and Brad Pitt might be one of the most manliest men you'll come across.

Back before he turned vegetarian and then vegan, Brad Pitt actually used to only eat the same meal every day, especially when he was trying to lean out for his roles.

Prior to any of his big workouts, Brad Pitt usually does a little dynamic warm up before to make sure he limits his chances of injury. Dynamic warm ups are used in order to get the mind and muscles connected and allow his joints to feel flexible. And due to his age (no way he's 59 by the way) he probably needs to do it!Flexibility Exercises

As I'm sure you're already aware, as someone grows older, their joints can become stiff and your flexibility can often decrease quite quickly.

Although many people suggest that carbs aren't great when it comes to building muscles and fat, Brad Pitt swears by his need for them. Supposedly he finds it difficult to build fat and muscle so he needs them; in fact he typically starts his day off with a breakfast of oats alongside some eggs.He Really Loves Eggs

As I just mentioned, Brad Pitt had eggs for breakfast pretty much every single day! But you probably wouldn't realise that he had quite as much as he did. Crazily, he actually had seven egg yolks as well as some egg whites, meaning he used to start his day with a boat load of protein and fats.Weight Distribution Training

Unlike many people within the industry who like to take part in some proper full-on, full-body workouts, Brad Pitt usually tends to focus on training one part of the body at one time.
