IS IT TIME TO TURN YOUR PHONE OFF?

IS IT TIME TO TURN YOUR PHONE OFF?

Returning from summer holidays – to work, college, or just the general hum drum of life – is, for me, always a slightly wistful time. Another summer gone, another school year finished, the chill beckon of winter with its long nights and short days. But summer’s demise is also a time of promise and possibility….

THE ASTONISHING POWER OF SUNLIGHT: PART 2

I’ve broken a bone in my foot, which means I’ve spent a fair bit of the week in hospital and a fair bit of time hobbling around, very  slowly, in a big plastic boot or weird and deeply uncomfortable, back-to-front footwear. In the same week that Vitamin D made headlines, it’ll come as no surprise…

CAN YOU EAT TO BEAT POLLUTION?

Worried about pollution? We are too. This week, researchers announced that air pollution is now killing more people than smoking. The new study focuses on ozone and PM2.5 (they’re the tiny particles of Particulate Matter invisible to the naked eye but able to penetrate our lungs and – possibly – cross into our blood). The…

Onions, leeks, garlic and garlic stems, shallots, chives and spring onions (alliums) appear to prevent the development of bowel cancer.

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 TO CREATE A BODY THAT REPELS CANCER & MISO SALMON TRAY BAKE

I’ve been watching a brilliant series of films on the subject of longevity. Each one features a range of doctors and researchers exploring an aspect of ageing. The films are rather long and a little pricey (more at www.humanlongevityfilm.com) but one of the best is on cancer and how to build a body able to…

IS ALCOHOL GOOD FOR YOU? GINGER KOMBUCHA

It’s June and, in the UK, that means party-time. June has always been the month of weddings, big parties, Ascot, Wimbledon, Henley Royal Regatta and so on. This year – in my household – June has featured a celebratory bash every weekend, with several more during the week as my daughters celebrate the end of…

ANOTHER COMPELLING REASON TO FAST? HORTA ON TOAST

So far, the only intervention able to dramatically extend healthy life appears to be … fasting, otherwise known as Caloric Restriction (CR). Studies – on animals – suggest that regular fasting can extend healthy life by up to 30%. Susan recently wrote about her experience of fasting after trialling Professor Longo’s Longevity Diet, and we wrote…

WHAT YOUR DOCTOR SHOULD TELL YOU, AND MISO COD

It’s no secret that a healthy lifestyle greatly improves our chances of a healthy old age. That’s what  this blog is about, after all! Living disease-free for as long as possible is a goal for all of us, and would be enormously beneficial for the NHS, as I blogged here a few weeks ago. Yet…
