Ep. 093: Growing Old, Staying Healthy
Guest: Dr. Gifford Jones, health columnist
The secret to getting old and being happy and healthy is relatively simple.
That is according to Dr. Gifford-Jones, who has been writing health columns for more than 25 years. He has a list of do’s and don'ts which are pretty easy to follow.
His list includes, but is not limited to, drink wine responsibly, have sex, walk, lift some light weights, enjoy life, cut out refined sugar. Here’s a big one: look after your teeth. They’re really important because they help you eat better calories. And, while of the topic of calories, watch how many you consume. He goes onto say, “Weigh yourself everyday because that way you know instantly if something has changed. There’s no value in waiting to find out.”
While it’s obvious, it’s worth repeating, if you want to live to 90 and be happy and healthy – don’t smoke.
