Fitness News #65 - A diet fit for Queens


Regardless of whether you are a republican or a monarchist, you will be having a holiday on Monday (assuming you live in Australia and not WA).

The holiday is about the Queen of England, a date selected to be her birthday, even if its not.

The queen of England at 86 an old lady, she has not had a lot of health problems and that's a predictor she will live on for many years yet.  Perhaps she make it till 100.

Part of the secret to her success is her diet

A diet fit for a queen

Go to google and type "queen Elizabeth II diet" and you will receive a host of pages making all sorts of claims about what she eats.  The underlining communication is that she has a clean simple diet.  There is no mention of any magical solution like some herb that only grows in the foot hills of the Himalayas.  Yes, despite her considerable wealth, there is no rocket science in there.

I also recall the comment on TV, when she visited on of the pacific island countries, that she had small portions.

One thing that wealth can bring you is good professional advice.

What you should do

You should become your own expert.  At the end of the day we want to enjoy what we stuff down our throats and want it to be healthy for us.


What if you did nothing

Well its up to you as to how long you want to live

 Riding

 Did a mega ride today, 152K leaving Marrickville at 6.05am, headed to the northern end of the southern highlands.  With me was Todd, who those of you at FF Rockdale might know

  1. I seem to recall she was into homoeopathic treatments for minor ailments.

    Don't forget about Duke of Edinburgh - a princely age of 91 who likes the outdoors +++
