Mark Wahlberg has been recently in the limelight for his venture in the field of fitness after the success of his multimillionaire fitness chain, Functional 45. But he has recently made a strong statement about Hollywood’s current fitness culture. The popular actor and producer recently revealed that he is not among the admirers of the popular Ozempic drug, which has been used by many Hollywood superstars for weight loss. 

Ozempic is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. However, its ability to suppress appetite has made it popular as a weight loss drug. While many celebrities have admitted to taking it to maintain their weight and stay healthy, the Hollywood actor sits on the other side of the table. The 51-year-old superstar recently stated that he is not a big fan of taking any sedatives to achieve a healthy lifestyle. 

Mark Wahlberg revealed his preference

Wahlberg believes in the good old-fashioned way of staying healthy through exercise and a balanced diet. The actor thinks that relying on medication to maintain one’s health is not a sustainable solution in the long run. “It will give you longevity,” he said, focusing on the old-fashioned way.

Mark also clarified that he respects people’s choice of taking the best decisions for themselves. In an interview with Page Six, he said, “Everybody has their own path. I don’t knock anybody for making their own choices.”

However, the famous actor said he would always advise others to prioritize their health and wellness through sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick-fix solutions. “To each his own, but I do encourage people to eat right and exercise.” However, Wahlberg’s stance on health and fitness is not just a bland thought as he himself follows a strict fitness routine.  

Wahlberg inspires people toward a healthy lifestyle

Known for his impressive physique, it is no surprise that Wahlberg takes his health and fitness seriously. However, the actor recently made the limelight when he made a promise to the fitness community to conduct a Walhberg week. And the actor fulfilled it as he posted a video of waking up at 12:30, working out at 2:00 am, and following a strict diet. 

With this approach, Wahlberg hopes to inspire others to follow a natural way toward healthy living. Overall, his stance on health and fitness is a strong example that there are no shortcuts when it comes to maintaining one’s health.
