"My God, what 50? She looks 30!" How Alona Vinnytska of the "VIA Gra" band has changed since 2000 and why the famous singer takes fly agaric

According to Internet users, the famous singer and first soloist of "VIA GRA", Alona Vinnytska, does not look her age. The artist was the star of the female trio from 2000 to 2003 and is remembered by the public as an eccentric Ukrainian woman.

In an interview with Slava Demin, she admitted that she takes microdoses of fly agaric instead of anti-anxiety medication to maintain her moral and emotional state, and says that it is now a trend. It is worth noting that fly agarics are classified as poisonous mushrooms, so eating them can cause fatal harm to your body.

"I don't take any [anti-anxiety] medication because I took it in 2014 and didn't like it. That's why I use a natural medicine – fly agaric," said Alona Vinnytska, who said that it supposedly treats the whole body and rejuvenates.

She also noted that there are no narcotic substances in mushrooms, and they "work" in a strange way as antidepressants. However, likely, this treatment is mostly a placebo effect.

In the comments under the video, Ukrainians were surprised that at 49 years old, Alona Vinnytska looks like a 30-year-old woman, or even younger:

• "50! Karl, I'm shocked. Both in 2001 and now she is beautiful. And, in my opinion, she hasn't changed a bit. Thank you for my youth."
• "She looks better than all the ex-soloists, even though there is a difference of 8+ years between them."
• "She doesn't look 50, but she doesn't look 30 either. Where the light is not studio light [falls] on her face, you can see it. But it doesn't matter, she still looks great, and that's okay."

• "What is she, 50 years old? She's just beautiful!"
• "You don't look 50 at all, you look 30 at most."
• "God, what 50? She looks 30."
• "I wish I could live to be 50 and look like this, it's just great."

The star was a member of VIA GRA from September 2000 to January 2003, after which she began her solo career. This work was no less successful. Every year, the singer released a new song that became a real hit: "Rassvet," "007," "Kukly," "Konvert," "Let's Forget Everything," and so on.

More than 10 years of exhausting work had taken their toll on the artist. Her career problems were compounded by a crisis in her relationship with her husband, musician Oleksii Bolshoi. The couple was on the verge of breaking up, but they still managed to mend their relationship.

Already in 2019, Vinnytska gave an interview in which she admitted that she had been treated in a psychiatric hospital. The reason was a decrease in demand for her concerts and the need to get used to a non-media life.
