Lately I've been indulging in all sorts of very healthy food. The healthiest food there is, according to science. Do you know what that is?
Happy Food!
Food that is fun, made with love and eaten in a relaxed atmosphere with good company. For example, this sandwhich, eaten on the deck with The Programmer, who made a surprise lunchtime visit. He was probably attempting to bust me lazing around watching Crime TV now that studies are over for the year (I move quick).
I've read a lot of research on health and longevity and noticed that most 'diet and exercise' books miss something molto importante. The longest lived and healthiest people don't just eat an unprocessed diet and keep moving. As The Okinawa guys found, health and longevity tends to occur within a strong social network that doesn't habitually 'do stress'. This is the forgotten factor, and the thing which attracted me to Health Psychology.
