If one wants to be healthy, one / he must exercise regularly and eat healthy food."
I was taught that in BrE, when 'one' is used the other pronoun/s should also be 'one', and in AmE, the second and subsequent pronouns should be 'he'.
Do British native speakers follow this rule?
For example, "If one wants to be healthy, one must exercise regularly and eat healthy food." (BrE)
In AmE, "If one wants to be healthy, he must exercise regularly and eat healthy food."
Thanks.
