We’ll be back with our first 2016 post very soon, but in the meantime we’ve added a new function to the website for the new year! You can now search all our recipes by ingredient. Have a look – it’s not hard to work out our favourite healthy ageing ingredients – coconut oil, oats and almonds appear frequently!

    Dear Susan , I was sorry to read of your bereavement. The following words hopefully will bring you some comfort in time. “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.” My own mother passed away in 1975 and she is with me every single day. However when I am with my children and grandchildren I thank her for the legacy she has left me.

    May I wish you and Annabel a Happy New Year. A new year filled with treasured memories, happiness and joy.

    Your web site, with recipes, information on healthy eating and living, give me and my family great pleasure. Well done.

    I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, and appreciate the time and effort, and the wonderful coloured photos, of all your recipes.

    Keep up the good work.

    Sincerely
    Thelma

There’s a piece in @telegraph online today about There’s a piece in @telegraph online today about Susan’s coaching programme Better Brain Framework. Journalist @msmirandamcminn watched her mother battle dementia for 10 years. Determined to reduce her own dementia risk, Miranda worked with Susan for three months. 

She said, ‘I am convinced that we could all benefit from following this programme…. [it] has given me better clarity than I had at the age of 30”

How many steps are you walking in summer? When it’s warm, it’s tempting to find a shady spot and do very little, we know 

However, can we politely suggest you continue to get your daily steps in? We’ve been enjoying evening ambles and dawn saunters.  Get to the sea, a forest or mountains/hills if you can.

What about that magic 10,000 steps number? After all, recent studies suggest that somewhere around 7,000-8,000 daily steps is perfect for older people, with benefits tailing off after that.
Moreover, everyone now knows that the 10,000 step ‘rule’ was devised by a Japanese marketing company who liked the neatness of the  (untested) 10,000 number.

But it seems that 10,000 steps a day banishes inflamm-aging…. want to know more? It’s all on the blog - link on bio and in stories

Lymphatics and longevity - what you need to know Lymphatics and longevity - what you need to know 

The lymphatics are the body’s drainage system: keeping fluids in balance, flushing away toxins, supporting the immune system and removing cellular waste – the build-up of which causes oxidation (rusting!) in the body. If the lymphatic system isn’t operating optimally, we’re more likely to experience chronic inflammation. So many of the conditions linked to ageing – from arthritis to heart disease, dementia to insulin resistance – are rooted in this inflammation.

So, look after your lymphatic system and it will help look after your longevity

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
