With the Help of a 10-Year Diet Study, Arnold Schwarzenegger Explains How “Few Eating Habits Can Make a Big Difference” in Overall Health

At the beginning of 2023, Arnold Schwarzenegger started his daily newsletter. And now, when the year is about to end, Schwarzenegger is back with a topic that most of his followers would love to read. In the latest edition of Arnold’s Pump Club, Arnie writes about some simple eating habits that, if one follows, could help improve overall health.

In the “The 10-Year Diet Study” section, the Austrian Oak starts by stating that there is no “one best” diet. Every person has a different metabolism. And that’s the reason that, despite giving their best in following a particular or popular diet, some people are still unable to lose fat or achieve their fitness goals.

So, Arnold, with the help of a 10-year diet study, has found that following some healthy habits while making a few changes in diet can help lose fat, gain muscles, and improve overall health.

“A 10-year study examined more than 17,000 people and found that a few eating habits can make a big difference.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger mentions that regardless of genetics, eating behaviors play a significant role in bettering overall health. Further, he listed a few healthy habits (some eating changes) that, if followed, would guarantee results.

Arnold Schwarzenegger lists healthy habits to improve overall health

The Austrian Oak writes that eating more than 400 grams of fruits, veggies, and a quarter grams of fiber each day is a must. While consuming fruits and fiber remains important, limiting saturated fat and sugar to less than 10 percent of your daily caloric intake is crucial for your heart and overall health.

The former governor of California suggests keeping one’s total dietary fat below 30 percent of the daily calorie intake. And he also emphasizes taking regular potassium. A minimum of 3.5g of the mineral, which helps muscles contract and supports normal blood pressure, is also one of the major food elements Arnie asks you to include in your daily diet. Potassium can be found in many foods, like potatoes, avocados, bananas, dairy, and salmon, to name a few.

Think of these diet recommendations as more of a guide on how much protein, carbs, and fats to go for, rather than a strict list of foods. This gives flexibility and freedom to choose what you can eat, with a few helpful suggestions to keep you on track.

Schwarzenegger concludes by mentioning that even if you follow a few of these habits, you can build better ones and improve your health. He also stresses that the best diet is one that is sustainable.

“And that’s a great reminder that the best diet is the one that you can follow.”

Though the year is ending, Schwarzenegger’s knowledge and science-backed articles, which help so many, are definitely not coming to an end. With the new year arriving, Schwarzenegger focuses on further increasing his village and sharing his wisdom on health and fitness with more and more people.
