The 74-year-old actor has changed his diet and is benefiting from it in terms of health. His arteries in particular are doing better now that he has been relying more on plants.
Eating less meat has given former Hollywood star and California ex-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger more life, according to his own statements.
“My cardiologist told me that my arteries no longer narrow since I started eating more vegetables and herbal products,” Schwarzenegger said in an interview with the BBC on Friday. “I have improved my health, that gave me two extra years.” The “Terminator” actor has already had several heart operations.
The 74-year-old actor, who wants to travel to the climate summit in Glasgow next week, criticized political decision-makers who portray climate protection as damaging the economy. «They are liars, they are stupid. Or they don’t know how to proceed – you just have to have the courage to do it, ”said Schwarzenegger. During his time as governor, the Republican announced relatively ambitious climate targets for California. When it comes to climate protection, however, the native Austrian places his hopes primarily on new technologies.
