A huge thank you to everyone who came to my ‘Feel Great: Age Well’ webinar last month. It felt very special to launch The Age-Well Plan with our warm and wonderful community here. And if it wasn’t the In Real Life event I’d hoped for at the beginning of the year, it was lovely to…
WHY I’M EATING MORE MEAT AND MY NEW FAVOURITE SALAD
I know it’s controversial, and I know I’ve written a lot about eating more vegetables – and my own almost entirely plant-based diet – but recently I’ve started eating more meat. After years of reading and research, I’ve come to the conclusion that a little good quality meat isn’t the dietary bogeyman which will decimate…
AGEING WELL ON YOUR SUMMER STAYCATION, RASPBERRY CAKE – AND INVITATIONS!
This is the summer of the staycation – while some are bravely jetting off, I’m not one of them. There are so many wonderful things to do on our doorsteps here in the UK, many of which are corona compliant and can help us age well too. In my day-to-day life I juggle TV producing,…
HOW TO BEAT STRESS, ENHANCE NEUROPLASTICITY AND A FABULOUS TREAT FOR YOU
These long months of uncertainty have left me feeling stressed and often unrested, even after a decent night’s sleep. How’s our current state of semi-normality impacting you? Reconnecting with life as much as we can, while knowing that it’s not the same, creates a constant, low thrum of stress. Everybody is facing uncertainty and challenge…
SEEKING POSITIVITY AND FOODS WHICH MAKE US HAPPY
I’ve been thinking a lot about positivity this week, and trying to stay optimistic in testing times. 2020 is shaping up to be a year of seismic shocks, but I’m hopeful we can face up to the need for change in so many areas of our lives. Our treatment of the environment, our health care…
EAT MORE GARLIC AND KEEP MAP-READING
Yes an odd combination, but both of the above could help preserve our memories. And both are easy enough to do. We all love the convenience and effortlessness of Google maps and any other digital map app or satellite navigation system we might be using. But a growing body of research suggests we may have…
HOW VALENTINE’S DAY CAN HELP YOU AGE WELL
Yes, yes, I know it’s a schmaltz fest designed to keep card manufacturers and red rose sellers in business. But bear with me because many of the less tacky elements of Valentine’s Day help us live longer, healthier, happier lives – exactly what The Age-Well Project is all about. Love, hugs and the corona virus…
WANT TO AGE WELL? HUM AND SING!
I’m continuously awed by the brilliance of the human body, its almost limitless capabilities, its strength in sustaining us in the most extreme circumstances and the way every cell, and every system, work in harmony. Key to much of the harmonious interaction of our vital organs is the vagus nerve, and if we want to…
How diet boosts brain power: the science
Annabel and I read hundreds of research articles each month to keep up to date with the latest findings on healthy longevity. We’ve learned to decode the different methodologies to understand which are the most meaningful, and relevant, to The Age-Well Project. There’s such a broad span of research methods, from investigating the insides of…
HOW TO AGE HAPPILY IN 2020
Happy New Year from The Age-Well Project! We hope that you’re looking at the year, and the decade, ahead with optimism. Optimism is a great tool for health and happiness. Research published last summer assessed the optimism levels of almost 70,000 people in the US. It found that the most optimistic individuals lived between…
