WHY YOU NEED MORE SPERMIDINE … AND WHY WE STILL LOVE CHEESE

November 3, 2017 11 Comments

Yes, you read that correctly. No, it’s not exactly what you’re thinking. Spermidine is a polyamine that was first found in human semen but has since been found in almost all human tissue. We wrote about polyamines two years ago, in a post that has become one of our most frequently read. It’s worth reading…

BEST-EVER GRANOLA BARS

November 1, 2017 3 Comments

These granola bars are a great post-workout or after-school snack. They are packed with healthy fats and fibre, and are vegan and refined-sugar-free too. Not exactly diet food, but they’ll keep you full for ages. The recipe is really flexible – I use it as an opportunity to use up any dried fruit and nuts…

October 27, 2017 Leave a Comment

Netflix isn’t just all about Stranger Things 2, or The Crown or whatever your particular binge-watch bag is. It’s also home to a raft of documentaries about healthy living. As a TV producer, and healthy ageing blogger, watching health docs is where my much-loved day job meets my passion project. The films on Netflix are…

GRANOLA BAKED APPLES

October 24, 2017 Leave a Comment

This is a great dish for making use of all those lovely Autumnal apples. Annabel has apple trees in her garden and keeps leaving bags of them on my doorstep! So I keep making this dish. It’s high in fibre and low in processed anything. Great for heart health, and fighting inflammation. I know baked…

INFLAMMATION: THE HEALTHY AGEING RESEARCH YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NOW

October 20, 2017 9 Comments

  Inflammation is both our body’s friend, and its deadliest enemy. Good inflammation heals cuts and grazes, or protects damaged muscles. It does its healing job, then goes away. problems come when we suffer long-term chronic inflammation, when the body turns on itself, causing everything from premature ageing to, er, death. I’ve been thinking hard…

October 16, 2017 2 Comments

If you read our last post on the best foods to prevent Alzheimer’s, you’ll know that herbs are right up there – with blueberries and broccoli. Herbs, fresh or dried, contain ten times the anti-oxidants contained in nuts and berries. This Italian Bean Stew (an edited recipe from Elly Pear’s new book, Let’s Eat!) is…

THE TOP TEN FOODS TO PREVENT ALZHEIMER’S

October 13, 2017 15 Comments

I love this statistic.  I repeat it whenever I forget a name, misplace my keys, or don’t pay enough attention to my health. I shout it at my children when they come home with processed food in their pockets. And I remind Mr K&C when he burns the candle at both ends (not that he takes…

THE POWER OF A NAP & VENISON WITH BLACKBERRY AND APPLE SAUCE

October 6, 2017 7 Comments

It’s that time of year when thoughts turn to fending off the inevitable coughs and colds of winter. Already my son is back from school with a streaming nose and a rasping cough. I’ve not caught it yet, but I’ve had a week of poor sleep, and in my experience, tiredness is a short step…

PLANNING FOR GOOD HEALTH AND BEETROOT HUMMUS

September 30, 2017 2 Comments

  Do you have a plan for the next 10 years? 20? 30? I have to admit I don’t, and I hadn’t given it a lot of thought until very recently. But last week a Masterclass entitled Life Doesn’t Stop at 50: How to Have a Fulfilling Third Act made me think about it A…

We went to Stockholm! And, of course, it didn’t We went to Stockholm! And, of course, it didn’t escape our notice that the Swedes have a fantastically age-well lifestyle and a greater life expectancy than us here in the UK (although only by a year). 

The Nordic diet of foods traditionally eaten in Scandinavia plays a role in this: whole grains, fish and game. I brought some smoked reindeer meat home with me, not sure I would recommend. Vegetables, berries, ferments, oily fish and sea food are all longevity superfoods - we ate some incredible lumpfish roe and oysters while we were there. And Annabel had one of her favourites, nettle soup, not once but twice.

Coffee intake, clean air and the concept of ‘lagom’ - balance - all play a role too. Find the lowdown on the blog agewellproject.com and linked in stories
