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
