When you are content with what you have - this is the beginning of joy.
At a presentation in Moscow, reporters met 55-year-old Dmitry Malikov. The artist, despite his elegant age, looks at least twenty years younger than his passport data.
Malikov's wife Elena joked in a recent interview that Dmitry looks so good because he has a strong support system and a loving family.
- The secret to his youth is a little bit of my blood every day, just a few drops. And we don't overfeed him. Dmitry is changing for the better — thankfully, not gaining width, - jokes Elena Malikova.
The artist himself says that maintaining his shape is not helped by a glamorous, but rather an ascetic lifestyle.
- When you want to embrace the ungraspable, you will always see that someone has more, better, and so on. But when you are content with what you have - this is the beginning of joy, as the holy fathers say, - says Malikov. - For example, Lent allows you to tame the spirit and the flesh, which is very helpful. As an artist, I often find myself in different conditions, and despite my 'glamorous image,' I tend towards asceticism - I don't need much. The most important thing for me is my loved ones and friends, and that the joy of communicating with them is mutual.
According to Malikov, he maintains his athletic shape by working out in the gym.
- The treadmill is in the most visible place in my home. My daughter, wife, and I use it periodically. Besides that, we also go to the gym, - shares the artist.
