According to GQ South Africa, the billionaire mogul said, ‘In continuously striving to be the best, I need to operate with my health in full gear.’
Jay trains with celebrity fitness instructor Marcos Borges who inspired the rapper and his wife Beyonce to adopt a vegan diet.
In 2018, the famous couple teamed up with Borges to launch 22 Day Nutrition, a plant-based health foods company.

Jay and Beyonce, 39, co-wrote an introduction for Borges’ book The Greenprint: Plant-Based Diet, Best Body, Better World, in which they said ‘Having children has changed our lives more than anything else,’
‘We used to think of health as a diet – some worked for us, some didn’t. Once we looked at health as the truth, instead of a diet, it became a mission for us to share that truth and lifestyle with as many people as possible.’
The superstars share daughter Blue Ivy, nine, and four-year-old twins Rumi and Sir. Jay recently gave a rare interview about life as a father to three.

The hip-hop veteran revealed he couldn’t swim until his first child was born, and only had lessons then because he wanted to make sure that when his little girl started swimming, he would be able to rescue Blue if she ever got into any trouble in the water.
Speaking on LeBron James’ HBO series The Shop: Uninterrupted, Jay said of parenthood: ‘It’s amazing. It’s a very grounding thing. I didn’t learn how to swim until Blue was born. There goes everything you need to know. This is a metaphor for our relationship.
‘If she ever fell in the water and I couldn’t get her, I couldn’t even fathom that thought. I gotta learn how to swim. That’s it. That was the beginning of our relationship.’

Meanwhile, the rapper recently opened up about the hard work he and his Crazy In Love hitmaker have put into their marriage and how ‘proud’ he is of the father and husband he has become.
The Brooklyn native— who tied the knot with the former Destiny’s Child star in 2008 — said: ‘I have a beautiful wife who was understanding and knew I am not the worst of what I’ve done.
‘We did the hard work of going to therapy, we love each other. We really put in the work for years. This music I’m making now is a result of things that have happened already.
‘Like you, I like to believe that we’re in a better place today, but still working and still communicating and growing. I’m proud of the father and the husband I am today because of all the work that was done.’
