Sir David Attenborough is a national treasure

World-famous biologist Sir David Attenborough has revealed that he'd love to reach 100 years old, and has attributed some of his enduring health and vitality to a straightforward dietary alteration.

While not completely vegetarian, Sir David is widely understood to have dramatically cut back on his red meat consumption. He believes this shift could be playing a role in his longevity. This isn't a recent development, as back in 2017, Attenborough discussed his eating patterns.

He said: "I have certainly changed my diet. Not in a great sort of dramatic way. But I don't think I've eaten red meat for months." He confessed that he still consumes cheese and fish, but has otherwise "become much more vegetarian" than he ever imagined he would be.
