Though she is in her 40s, she manages to pull off looking like an easy 25. Many may wonder how Ashanti manages to stay looking so young and with an amazing body like that? The answer lies in her prioritization of self care, diet and healthy eating. In a past interview with BET, she explained how important self care is to her. "I work on this daily because my schedule has been packed with shows, interviews, and appearances, and I have not taken the time out for myself. This is the first week in months that I am off for seven days straight. So my self-care routine will consist of massages, quiet time, writing some songs, and doing some shopping. I'm getting excited just thinking about it."

"Creating a balance when working hard and going after all these amazing opportunities is essential. You have to be cognizant of your mental health, get enough sleep, drink enough water, and eat the right foods,” she exclaimed.
Ashanti stopped eating red meat and pork while she was in high school and began a pescatarian diet at the encouragement of her younger sister, Shia. She decided to take things a little further when it comes to her diet. Last year, the singer songwriter embarked on the journey of vegetarianism.
I cut out a lot of meat,” she mentioned of her lifestyle change. “I think again, self-health and self-awareness are so important. All of that stuff is so important to maintaining your body, knowing what’s in your food, the GMO’s and the chemicals, and I’m super aware of this stuff." She admitted to obsessing over ingredients in products that she uses on the daily stating, "I’m kind of a weirdo with that stuff."
During the pandemic, Ashanti donated 400 breakfasts with vegan meat to front line workers in her hometown hospital. Her belief that a plant-based lifestyle is a healthier option informed this charitable offering to workers.
She has admitted that the vegetarian lifestyle may be a little hard at first but it certainly pays off. Everyone can see the huge payoff.
