It spells out which foods can significantly reduce your risk of diabetes, stroke, heart disease and Alzheimers, and shows why so few Japanese women get breast cancer and so few Japanese men get prostate cancer.
It is probably the definitive book on how optimum nutrition can cut the risk of degenerative disease and how you can incorporate the most protective nutrients from the worlds healthiest diets into your own everyday diet.

Are you happy with your weight?
If not you can do something about it now. For fast weight loss you need just two things. A weight loss program and exercise. Walking will give you the muscles and the exercise you need to burn calories. A healthy diet will do the rest.
Introduce your weight loss program gradually.
How fast is fast? You should aim to lose about 1-2 lb a week. For this you must eat 500-1000 fewer calories a day. That way you will lose 12-24 lbs over three months. Anything quicker is not a good idea, but the results will be noticeable well before the three months is up.
Write down your plan.
Give yourself a timescale for your weight loss program. Keep a check while you watch the pounds vanish. If you don’t hit your target celebrate at coming close. If you didn’t come close look at what you are doing wrong. For…
Failure is not an option.
Maybe you think you have tried everything, diet, exercise, personal coaching, even advice on the internet. Nothing you attempted has taken the weight off. But there is still hope. Trust me, there really is.
It’s a lifestyle choice.
If you have not lost weight, and you don’t have a medical problem, you are either eating too much, not getting enough exercise or both. But don’t just eat less of what you have always eaten. Change you whole diet. Then up the exercise with more walking.
What is the best diet then?
From my experience the best diet will always be the Mediterranean Diet. Fruit, green vegetables, lean meat, oily fish and an occasional glass of wine. I love it and it works for me. It will work for you.
How do you know that’s right?
Well, I’ve been there. I’ve been overweight myself and by using the Mediterranean Diet I am now exactly my target weight, which is what I was as a teenager. It was part of a weight loss program and it worked.
But don’t just believe me.
A. Tripopoulou of the University of Athens Medical School says:
‘The current momentum towards the Mediterranean Diet has solid biological foundation and does not represent transient fashion. We are now well under way to explain what nature has been trying to tell us through the otherwise unexplained good health of the Mediterranean people.’

Losing fat is not as hard as it may seem, but it is best done with a goal in mind. If you just want to lose a few pounds that’s fine, it’s better than nothing. If you want to lose a lot, no problems, just do it. As with walking it is good to have a diet buddy. Dieting can be a lonely business, particularly at first when nobody will notice much difference. But when at last somebody compliments you on how good you look, the joy is immense and even greater when shared with a committed friend.
You get different figures from different people but in a weight loss program you can say roughly 70% loss is due to diet and 30% due to exercise. You do, of course, need to consider both.
If you are down to your target weight but are still flabby around the middle you will need to do some stretching and bending exercises. These will home in on the right area and turn flab to muscle. This may take a little time, so be patient and persistent. You’ll get there in the end.
The Mediterranean diet is my favourite, as you may have noticed, but there are others which are easily researched on the web. Another source of information are weight loss and fitness forums. Some can be obsessional, as contributors discuss body building rather than simple fitness and weight loss. Beware of these, but there are forums where beginners share experiences and these can be very supportive.
If you are trying to keep up your diet and finding it difficult, don’t despair, everybody has problems but they are not insurmountable. Take heart from my friend.
She is a delightful, slim and healthy 72 year old lady, kind enough to share with me her lifelong tips for weight loss.
She said that these were tried and tested over many years and combined with a healthy diet and fitness walking worked for her.
Have a glass of hot water before breakfast in the morning. You will eat a smaller breakfast.
Eating an apple before any meal will take the edge off your appetite.
If you think about food between meals think of something you have to do and do it. This takes your mind off snacking.
If possible don’t eat after 5.00pm.
Never shop when you are hungry.
If you are waiting to cross the road hold your stomach in for just that time. This is enough to remind you that a bloated body is uncomfortable.
Remember that when you learnt to walk it was a slow process of falling over and standing up again. If you start a diet and fail you have blown it for that one moment, not for the day, or the week, or the month.
Never acknowledge dieting as a burden, always as a challenge. This way you will never feel worthless or defeated.
Wise words from a wise lady who is herself proof that diet and exercise give you a long and healthy life.

We know that fitness is a two pronged attack. Diet and exercise. We know that the Mediterranean diet is one of the best diets available for long term health and fitness. But do we know about calories? For example that it takes 40 minutes brisk walking to work off a standard Starbuck’s muffin? I don’t mention the skinny latte to go with it, as that makes matters a lot worse and is too painful to consider. So if we want fast weight loss we must consider the calories.
To know the calories in various foods is a GOOD THING. We would not just be hoping for the best, but would know how well or badly we were doing in our quest for a slim healthy old age.
Not that I am advocating calorie counting as a way of life. There madness lies, or anorexia, or both. All you need is a little sound information to work on, so that you know where you are going and where you are going wrong, if indeed you are.
Consider this. An average man taking moderate exercise needs about 2500 calories a day. A woman 2000. This is the type of food they may be eating.
Burger King Chicken Sandwich. 659cal
Starbuck’s White Chocolate and Strawberry Muffin. 583 cal.
McDonalds Big Mac. 492 cal.
Caffe Nero Latte semi skimmed. 283 cal
To lose 1lb a week with no fitness walking the average man or woman would need to reduce their calorie intake by 500 calories a day. Scary, isn’t it?
Keeping with our Mediterranean diet and fitness walking will achieve everything you want, but do watch those occasional treats that can so easily become a daily event.
I have found a little book which, without overwhelming you with statistics, gives a good introduction to the importance of checking your calorie intake. At just $5.99 it costs no more than a couple of Starbuck’s muffins and is a lot more helpful in our fitness walking and fast weight loss program.

You will know that your Senior Fitness Walking program is trying to achieve weight loss and, as we have said before, this includes diet. Seniors are often on fixed incomes and every expense must be considered carefully. Cheap food is one way of saving money. Sadly much cheap food is junk food. A bar of chocolate or a packet of crisps will stop hunger for a while, but will also if eaten daily, make you put on weight. Pizza, eggs and bacon, fish and chips and most greasy food will do the same.
So we ask as before. What is a healthy diet? Fruit, fresh vegetables, lean meat, oily fish and, if you want it, an occasional glass of wine. Which is, of course, the famous Mediterranean diet which originated in the Mediterranean region where people live long and healthy lives.
It need not be expensive, vegetables from the local market can be cheap, as can fruit in season. Cheaper cuts of meat are fine. Mackerel and herring are not the most expensive of fish. Becoming a connoisseur of cheap wine is more demanding. The result may be that you reduce your alcohol consumption, which in itself will help you lose weight.
So try it for a week or so. See if you can eat well on a budget. If not you can just try reducing what you are eating already.
As your fitness walking distances increase you will need good boots. They should be leather, waterproof, snug at the heel with a cushioned sole and with plenty of toe room. They must be a good fit. We are told that if your boots really fit you will never get blisters. That is only what it says on the box. At first walk a short distance in your new boots, then work up to longer distances. The new leather may well rub your feet and it needs time to soften. Your feet need time to get used to the boots. Even when your boots are feeling comfortable beware of the one off mega hike. Take sticking plaster, you may well need it.
There is a massive choice of boots, Teva, Asolo, Birkenstock, Rockport, Timberland are all good. I like Timberland boots because I have worn them for years and found them excellent. Two good options are Men’s Timberland White Ledge MID Waterproof boots or Women’s Timberland White Ledge MID boots. Check them out.
If you are near to a shoe shop buy your boots there, as you can try them on. But there is nothing wrong with buying online if it is more convenient and you are usually able to return the product if there is a problem. So good luck with your new boots and may they make your fitness walking even more enjoyable.
If you are walking in the countryside it is a good idea to check the weather forecast before you leave. I hate meteorological surprises myself and always do so. Although, despite the technology involved in making them, weather forecasts are sometimes wrong. So you could try looking out of the window as well.
