When it comes to diversity, there are some people who display it and other people who just tend to fit in where they can. I think you would have a hard time finding someone that was more diversified than Arnold Schwarzenegger. More than likely, you have a particular thing in mind when you think about Schwarzenegger, but is going to be different from one person to another. Some people may think about him in his bodybuilding days, when he was winning awards, one after the other. From there, he got into action movies and had some of the best and most memorable lines that are still repeated by people down to this day. He then went on to be a fitness role model and eventually, governor of California.
Even though Arnold Schwarzenegger is in his early 70s, it still seems as if he has a lot of life left in him. The unfortunate reality for Schwarzenegger, however, is that he has had some operations in recent months, and although he is trying his best to keep a bright outlook, his family is a bit concerned over his health. Perhaps we have seen him in a hospital bed a little more than any of us are comfortable with recently. It seemed to start about two years ago when he was sent for some emergency surgery and from there, it just seems as if it is going downhill. It may have to do with some of the choices that he made in life, including his addiction to bodybuilding from a young age.

Schwarzenegger was so dedicated to bodybuilding that he even went AWOL when he was in the Austrian military. He ended up in a military prison for a week. He also later admitted to using anabolic steroids, although they were legal at the time he was using them.

Behind-the-scenes, he was born with an aortic valve that had two leaflets rather than three. He was in danger of having a stroke or heart attack as a result of his use of steroids. By the time the late 90s rolled around, he realized it was time for a change. He had the valve replaced, although the surgery went wrong but they were able to save his life. Schwarzenegger had to use a walker and retrain his lungs, a situation that he considered to be painful and frustrating.
Many people look up to Schwarzenegger for what he has accomplished in life. Other people were concerned about his health, now that it seems to be on the decline. Regardless of which side of the fence you happen to be on, I’m sure that we all wish him many happy and healthy years to come.
