Are you up to date with your health checks? A report last week revealed that fewer than half of those eligible for a free NHS over-40 check up actually take it. So, if it’s not too late for another New Year’s resolution, now’s a good time to make an appointment and get checked over! It’s…

HOW CHRISTMAS IS HELPING YOU AGE BETTER
I love the way Christmas brings people together: a singalong at a carol concert, church on Christmas day, Boxing Day football matches, mulled wine with the neighbours. And – you’ll be surprised to learn – all this festive fun helps us age well. Yes really! Christmas isn’t all expanding waistlines and hangovers: it can boost…
WHY I’VE THROWN OUT ALL MY BEAUTY PRODUCTS (nearly…)
Trawling through the mountains of research for our book has made us think long and hard about the many factors involved in ageing well. We usually focus on what goes into our bodies, either through what we swallow or what we inhale. But what about all the things we put on our bodies? Researchers still…
HOW PLANTING A TREE COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE
I spent a day planting trees last week. It was an uplifting experience with a HUGE number of healthy ageing benefits. In fact, I think it could be top of the charts for age-well activities – see below! I volunteered at the Woodland Trust’s First World War Centenary Woods at Langley Grove, Surrey. Each tiny…

WHY YOU NEED GRIT (AND MUSCLES) TO LIVE LONGER AND BETTER
Every now and then the two facets of my life come together in a moment of perfect harmony. This happened recently as I researched the Blue Zone of Sardinia for our Age-Well Project – which also happened to be the same time I was completing research for my novel, Frieda: The Original Lady Chatterley (which…
WHO’S RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR HEALTH?
Here at The Age-Well Project we firmly believe each one of us can change the way we age. That’s why we started our project, after all, and why we’re still at it, nearly five years later! (And why we’ve just been recognised with a nomination for a UK Blog Award – more on that very…
CAN YOU EAT TOO MUCH FERMENTED FOOD? ZUCCHINI/COURGETTE RAGOUT
We’re big fans of fermented food – yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, tofu, et al. We’ve written several times about the scientific community’s growing recognition of the microbiome’s role in chronic disease. And we’ve written about the foods that promote good gut health, including fermented foods. I have an entire shelf of gut books dating back to…
WHY LONELINESS IS AN EPIDEMIC and BAKED ZA’ATAR CHICKEN
What does it say about us as a nation that we need a Minister for Loneliness? It’s both uplifting that the issue is being addressed, and heart-breaking that it needs tackling in the first place. We are living through an epidemic of loneliness, where smaller households, longer working hours, a more transient workforce and increased…
