In his newsletter, Arnold Schwarzenegger informed his readers that procrastination might be holding them back from leading a healthier lifestyle. The seven-time Mr. Olympia wrote that the simple step of committing to a regular exercise routine could help prevent cancer. The Austrian Oak highlighted an analysis to drive his point home.

The bodybuilding legend said the analysis found that committing to an exercise program could reduce 46,000 cancer diagnoses. However, “Many people wait till ‘tomorrow’ to begin a program, and that’s part of the problem because movement is a key part of prevention,” Arnie wrote in his newsletter. The former Mr. Universe even mentioned how much a person needs to workout every week.

Besides exercise, the Terminator actor has pointed out another often-ignored aspect of health. As our lives get busier, many are perpetually working and never seem to have free time. An alarming number of people also ignore sleep in their quest to be more productive. However, sleeping enough and improving sleep health can also reduce cancer risk.
A few months ago, the bodybuilding legend wrote about how a person can improve their sleep by adding an extra hour every night. While many people think they can catch up with their sleep on the weekends, sleep debt increases the risk of cancer and other deadly diseases.
