London,
(ANI):
Rocker
Rod
Stewart
is
so
'terrified
of
falling
victim
to
his
family's
long
history
of
heart
problems
that
he
has
become
obsessed
with
keeping
fit.
"I
work
like
a
dog
to
look
like
this.
There's
no
easy
option.
I'm
obsessed
with
my
health.
I
love
my
life
and
want
to
live
as
long
as
I
possibly
can
so
I
do
whatever
it
takes.
I
eat
right,
I
exercise,
I'm
a
total
fanatic
and
pretty
much
a
germo-phobe," the
Daily
Star
quoted
Stewart
as
telling
the
Daily
Mirror.
Stewart,
65,
who
had
previously
fought
with
throat
cancer,
regularly
plays
in
an
over-50s
football
team
in
California
in
a
bid
to
stay
healthy.
Determined
to
live
long,
he
follows
a
strict
eating
and
fitness
regime
to
prevent
any
heart
issues.
"The
one
thing
that
absolutely
terrifies
me
is
getting
sick
so
I
do
everything
I
can
to
eliminate
that...
I've
been
on
a
team
all
my
life.
I
play
now
in
an
over-50s
veterans' league.
We
have
30
players
so
you're
on
for
one
half
and
then
off,
but
it's
still
45
minutes
of
running
around
a
pitch,"
he
said.
"I
also
have
a
trainer
five
days
a
week.
I
do
an
hour
or
two
hours
a
day,
a
lot
of
cardio
to
clear
out
the
arteries.
I'm
Scottish
and
we
have
a
history
of
heart
problems
in
the
family.
It's
all
about
cleaning
out
the
fat
on
the
inside," Stewart
added.
