marathon runner has
marked National

revealing that his no meat
diet is the key to his health
and longevity

nine marathons in the past
12 years, with the London

his retirement from the
26mile distance.

• Though he
maintains he will
continue to run
shorter races, the
“Turbaned Tornado”
claims the day he
stops running “will
be the day my body
stops altogether”.
• He said: “I am told
vegetarians tend to
live an average of
six to 10 years
longer than meat-
eaters do.

• “Age may bring
wisdom, but if you
want stamina,
endurance and a
lifetime of good
health, turn to
nutritious vegetarian
foods.
• “I attribute my
longevity to simple
Punjabi vegetarian
foods, such as
chapati, dal, sabji and
saag.”

• Far from finished,
Fauja now has his
sights set on
climbing one of
the world’s tallest
buildings in Tapei.
• He added: “When
I reach my
destination, I will
be able to say that
no animals had to
suffer because of
my food choices
along the way.”
