Japan man changed diet at 50, a bodybuilder by 90
At the age of 90, Japanese bodybuilder Toshisuke Kanazawa continues to compete in bodybuilding events, participating in the International Fitness and Bodybuilding Federation (IFBB) World Fitness Championships held in Spain. Despite not winning any medals, the competition has not diminished his determination. Kanazawa anticipates another appearance at the age of 93, which he believes could be his last.
He attributes his physical health and muscle gain to a traditional Japanese diet, which includes brown rice, natto, and miso soup. Kanazawa, who turned 50, started building muscle through this diet and continues to research and learn about nutrition. At the age of 90, Kanazawa competes alongside younger athletes, preparing similarly to them and applying tan for posing on stage.
He believes that attempting things few have done and pursuing bodybuilding for his entire life is important. Kanazawa hopes to encourage older people to stay active and serves as a role model for others to follow in his footsteps.
