YOUNGER THAN I LOOK?



I had my ‘bio-age’ done the other day.  I’m 38.

Yep, my body is 6 years younger than my ‘calendar’ age. 

That also makes me 10 years younger than you Sue Peden!

It got me reflecting on what I’ve done to be this ‘youthful’ and how it is even possible after nearly 30 years of heavy drinking.

So this is what I reckon has helped:

Kiwi fruit – one a day.  No exceptions.

Hot Lemon drink – every morning.  Combined with the kiwi fruit, there’s a double whammy of Vit C right there.

No Caffeine

No Soft drink – why anyone would willingly consume 10 teaspoons of sugar in one sitting is beyond me.

Running – it’s a drug – wish I’d started running years ago.

Water – gallons of it and just when you think you’ve drunk enough, drink another litre.

Boxing – it feels great to beat the shit out of someone and it’s a great work out too

Bread – try not to eat it.  It’s evil

Lululemon – if you’re going to work out, you may as well look good doing it.  People who wear big, baggy old T-shirts to the gym look big, baggy and old.

Wine – as much as you like if you do all of the above

Cheese – only with wine
