He thus managed to break the previous ham-slicing record of 33 hours and three minutes. Last year, Perez established a daily exercise routine for himself with the aim of remaining on his feet for many consecutive hours, enlisting the help of a physical therapist, a psychologist, a nutritionist and a masseuse. Part of the sliced hams will be donated to a local non-governmental organisation, while the rest was distributed free to the people of the city. IANS
