During her world tour, Jennifer Lopez asks for organic fruit and vegetables and organic juices, preferring them to be freshly squeezed backstage.

As U.S. pop icon Jennifer Lopez kicks off the Istanbul leg of her “Dance Again” world tour with three consecutive concerts at Ülker Sports Arena starting tonight, her backstage wish list shows she has made her health a priority.

According to information provided by the promotion agency, Purple Concerts, J. Lo prefers to see healthful foods and beverages in her backstage rider, requesting all of them to be organic.

She has asked for organic fruit and vegetables and organic juices, preferring them to be freshly squeezed backstage, not from the supermarket shelf. She particularly asked for coconut water.

Showing particular care that every aspect of the backstage fulfils her hygiene standards, quite naturally, the artist is said to believe in attaching utmost importance to her health to be able to get through her heavy tour program.
