January 18, 2020 4 Comments

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 CREATE A BODY THAT REPELS CANCER & MISO SALMON TRAY BAKE

July 10, 2018 4 Comments

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…

HOW TO GET A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP, AND SUSHI BOWLS

March 16, 2018 Leave a Comment

  How did you sleep last night? If the straw poll of friends around my dinner table this week (all women around 50) is anything to go by, then not very well. Today is World Sleep Day: designated to encourage us to focus on getting some shut-eye. We’re living in an epidemic of sleeplessness which…

THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT DEMENTIA, HEALTHY EATING AND KALE & SALMON FRITTATA

June 5, 2016 2 Comments

Have you watched the recent BBC programmes on dementia? Both the unbearable moving Living With Dementia: Chris’s Story and Angela Rippon’s programme The Truth About Dementia are still on BBC iPlayer if you missed them. It’s brilliant to see dementia discussed on primetime network television. Angela did a wonderful, heart-warming job revealing the human stories…

BOOSTING BONE STRENGTH AND THE SIMPLEST FISH PIE

September 11, 2015 1 Comment

Yaay! My right hand has just been liberated after five weeks in a plaster cast (and of course I am right handed)- such a relief. I broke my wrist in two places, slipping on mud flats while walking at low tide over the summer. It took a split second to do, and has been surprisingly painful…

WHY MUSTARD IS A MUST-HAVE, AND MUSTARD-MAPLE SALMON

July 17, 2015 6 Comments

As a kid, I hated mustard. I couldn’t understand the pre-Sunday lunch ritual of mixing bright yellow powder into a paste with a teeny tiny spoon (does anyone still own a mustard spoon, I wonder?) or the fervour with which my parents would seek out good Dijon on trips to France. But now I get…

SALMON: LET ME COUNT THE WAYS, AND THE EASIEST AFTER-WORK SALMON SALAD

May 30, 2015 Leave a Comment

If someone says ‘brain food’ what’s the first thing you think of? My guess is that it’s going to be fish – and probably oily fish. And if it’s oily fish, it’s got to be salmon. It’s become synonymous with healthy eating in recent decades. And it’s not just the brain that salmon can help….

THE POWER OF VITAMIN D – HEALTHY CHRISTMAS CANAPES

December 19, 2014 6 Comments

With the darkest day almost upon us, it seems fitting to end the year with a few words on the sunshine vitamin – Vitamin D. A slew of new research has linked Vitamin D deficiency to obesity, dementia, prostate and colorectal cancers, fertility, multiple sclerosis, asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, poor immunity, SAD, schizophrenia…

CARING, TURMERIC AND A RECIPE FOR SALMON PILAFF

November 28, 2014 7 Comments

This weekend feels like the start of the long march to Christmas – with all the presents, all the parties, all the food and all the mayhem that entails. For anyone who takes care of anyone (which is most adults, to be honest) it means even more juggling than usual, fitting in the children’s activities…

SUNSHINE, VITAMIN D AND A RECIPE FOR COCONUT-CRUSTED SALMON

August 22, 2014 8 Comments

Not difficult to top up the Vitamin D in the summer, is it? All that endless sunshine, those days by the pool and drinks on the terrace (well, that’s what my Facebook feed looks like anyway – thank you friends). But this summer, I’m stuck inside, working 12 hours days with a long, underground commute…
