It's currently known what caused the actor's hospitalization.
Just a few years ago, the martial arts expert said aging won't stop him from keeping up with an active lifestyle.
"I’m grateful to feel strong, healthy and energized. I don’t see age as a reason to slow down — if anything, it’s given me the chance to renew my commitment to fitness and nutrition," he told The Healthy. "I make sure to move every day and fuel my body with nutrients that help me feel younger than ever."
Chuck Norris said he likes to move his body every day.
"I try to stay very active, and I believe that a body that keeps moving, moves – and one that stops, stops," Norris continued. "So before I start my exercise, whether it’s martial arts or a session on the Total Gym, I find that moment of clarity and peace is something I can’t skip."
Though he's known for his tough guy persona, the Expendables 2 star confessed, "I think it’s essential to begin each day with a quiet moment for yourself. Whatever that entails: Be it meditation, praying, or sometimes just going for a peaceful walk."
"Oh, and a really good cup of coffee too," he added. "That is a great way to start your day."
Despite his love for working out, Chuck Norris said he starts his day with 'a quiet moment.'
When asked for the secret to longevity, Norris replied, "I’ve learned a lot about healthy aging over the years, and one of my most important discoveries is the power of listening to your body and identifying what helps it perform at its best."
