POLYAMINES – THE NEW SECRET WEAPON FOR AGEING WELL & MOROCCAN SPINACH AND CHICKPEAS.

October 16, 2015 21 Comments

The big ageing news in the last week has been polyamines (yes, new to me too!).  Thanks to research from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, headlines about a new ‘wonder anti-ageing diet’ involving polyamines were splashed across several newspapers last week.  I liked the sound of that, but to flesh out these extravagant…

Who should invest in a pair of walking (sometimes Who  should invest in a pair of walking (sometimes called trekking) poles?

Well, those of us  who enjoy hiking. Or those of us with lower back pain, obesity, Parkinson’s or general frailty.  Or those of us that want a more youthful gait. Or those of us that want to work all our muscles without going to a gym or messing around with weights. Or those of us that want our exertions to feel less … exerting! 

Sooooooo pretty much anyone who wants to age well! 

But which poles, and what do we do with them? It’s all on the blog - link in bio

RIP Kane Tanaka, the world’s oldest living perso RIP Kane Tanaka, the world’s oldest living person who died last week aged 119. She spent her last years playing the strategy board game, Othello, apparently. Asked for the happiest moment in her life, she replied ´Now’. She has been ‘replaced’ as the oldest person alive by a French nun who is currently 118 and survived catching Covid last year. Asked if Covid had frightened her, she replied ´no… because I wasn’t afraid to die.’ Draw your own conclusions (if you want to)!
