Reality TV personality and singer, Uriel Oputa, has opened up about the lifestyle choices she credits for her youthful appearance, stating that a stress-free, intentional approach to life is her secret to staying vibrant at 37.
In a detailed Instagram post, Uriel said she deliberately avoids the stress many Nigerians subject themselves to, choosing instead to prioritize peace, health, and self-discipline in her daily routine.
“When people say I look young for my age, I’m like, ‘DUH.’ Because I’m not doing half of what Nigeria is doing to itself. Let me break it down: Stress? If you’re going to stress me, I will walk. I don’t argue, I don’t beg — I walk. Cortisol levels: low. I don’t use random organic face mixtures that someone mixed with vibes and TikTok knowledge. I’m intentional with my skincare, less is more. I don’t wear makeup unless it’s lip gloss. My skin is not on punishment every weekend. Sunscreen, Vitamin C, and Shea Butter? I don’t joke with them. That’s my anti-aging holy trinity,” she wrote.
Uriel also emphasized the role of nutrition and self-care in her wellness journey, noting that her diet is carefully planned and focused on balance.
“Ginger and turmeric shots every morning. Fight inflammation like a warrior. My meals are intentional. I focus on complex carbs, lean protein, and dark chocolate (because balance). I eat once or twice a day, and that’s it. (WATER!!!!) I don’t have too many friends, especially not female cliques. Drama ages you faster than smoking,” she added.
She also highlighted her commitment to regular health checks and emotional boundaries, stressing that she prioritizes peace of mind over social validation or overextending herself.
“I check myself every 3–4 months. Full body check. Hormones. Blood work. Everything. I don’t wait until something is wrong. I protect my space and say NO without guilt. Not every invitation deserves a yes. I juice. Green detox, fat shredder, branded and homemade. My gut health is my business. I work out. Sweat is part of my skincare routine. I don’t live above my means. If I can’t afford it, it’s not for me. Peace is wealth,” she concluded.
Uriel’s post has since sparked conversations online, with many praising her for promoting a lifestyle rooted in wellness and self-respect.
