KALE & COCOA IS NOW THE AGE-WELL PROJECT!

June 17, 2018 2 Comments

Friends, we’ve changed things a little round here. After, four years, Annabel and I have waved a fond goodbye to Kale & Cocoa, and renamed our blog The Age-Well Project. It reflects both the title of our forthcoming book, and where we feel we are in our healthy ageing ‘journey’. We’ve come to realise that longevity isn’t just about kale, cocoa or any other so-called superfood. It’s about taking positive steps every day to give ourselves the best chance to age well. This has become a way of life for us and we want to share it with the world. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to age as healthily as possible, and the new title reflects that.

We’ve redesigned the website too so that you can see more of our delicious, simple recipes, as well as our edit of the latest research into longevity.  Do have a look around agewellproject.com. Let us know what you think, and if there is anything else you’d like to see there. It’s still a work in progress, and we haven’t quite nailed the whole social media switchover yet. But our Instagram feed’s looking good, so do check that out too.

Thank you so much for all your support in the last four years, it means more than we can say to have you with us. Here’s to the next stage!

    I’m sad to lose the wonderful Kale and Cocoa label but will continue to look forward to the reports and recipes and food recommendations. Your hard work and dedication have really made a difference to the way I think and feel about ageing.

How much should we worry about digital dementia? How much should we worry about digital dementia? 

The term isn’t new. It was coined by German neuroscientist and psychiatrist Dr. Manfred Spitzer in 2012.

He argues that outsourcing memory to search engines, the constant ‘pings’ of notifications, and multitasking, can weaken memory consolidation and reduce attention. He also suggests this can lead to a decreased ability for deep thought, reduced self-control, and  social issues.

How can we protect the brain? Research published a few weeks ago found engaging in creative pursuits, like dance, music or visual arts, is associated with a measurable slowing of brain ageing. You’ll have heard this before, but what’s interesting in this study is that the research team looked at how this might happen.

Unsurprisingly, she found herself drawn to the latest studies of movement. She wanted to know what all the uphill huff and puff was really doing, not to mention the downhill drag on knees and limbs, and the slipping and sliding through mud and snow.

New research has named the diet of northern Tanzan New research has named the diet of northern Tanzania as one of the healthiest in the world.

Researchers from the Netherlands and Tanzania evaluated the diet traditionally eaten by arable farmers in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. They consume many fibrous, polyphenol-rich plants and a fermented banana beer called mbege. Fibre intake can be up to 90g a day, three times more than that recommended here in the UK. And Brits only average around half that amount. The fibrous Tanzanian diet has a hugely beneficial impact on gut health, and is linked to better immunity, reduced inflammation and - of course - ageing well.
