Dr. Gifford-Jones - How to be old, happy and healthy!

Conversations That Matter features Dr. Gifford-Jones who has been writing health columns for more than 25 years. He says the secret to getting old and being happy and healthy is relatively simple. 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.
