Re: Adopting Mediterranean diet in old age can prolong life, study suggests
I've known about this sort of thing for decades now, ever since Healthy Eating became big news
i can't remember exactly when I heard the expression 'Mediterranean Diet', but that was a few years ago, too
I've dabbled & tinkered with it, but one of my New Year's Resolutions was to get more into it, as we used to say when I was a young man
For Christmas I was given three books on Med Diet, plus a couple on Middle Eastern cookery, and they all seem to be very good and interesting
Full of enthusiasm I stocked up with herbs, spices, and gallons of olive oil - or perhaps I should enter into the spirit of the thing and say litres of olive oil
I also seem, somehow, to have purchased half the country's supply of Paprika powder.
And can you guess how many meals I've cooked so far? ..... One!
Just like the school report - must try harder
Incidentally, I have diabetes, and one of the books is 'Mediterranean Cooking for Diabetics' by Robin Ellis, and that looks interesting & simpler, I'll concentrate on that first
If anyone's interested, reply to this post and I'll list the other books
