I rather liked the Clan of the Cave Bear series of novels by Jean M Auel. I think there is a lot of good information in there... between the soppy romantic bits.

People may not approve but I like picking up facts from a well researched novel.

having said that, I lost the taste for salt after just about 10 days of 'suffering' and this normalised my blood pressure.

wonderful.

I had an Aunty who died at just short of 107th birthday and it was obvious that her longevity was due to a fair portion of luck in her genes but also that she walked everywhere as much as she possibly could right up to the week before she died. She lived in a hilly area near Manchester and was born in 1894. There was nothing else so that her food tended to be meat, fish and vegetables. Some fruit but not much. She did use salt in her cooking but her housework routine was all hard manual labour with washing pounded in a 'copper' with a 'copper' stick.

She did come to love chocolate but still made a box last weeks. She would have sherry when there was a royal wedding or something like that on. But plain food, and lots of exercise were the answer. She was also a devout Christian and I think this afforded her a lack of stress that some of us could do with.

May the Brazilian lady continue to flourish!

Fat, fat and more fat. Get into the oily fish in a big way, eat the fattiest cuts of meat, take fish oil tablets, eat the skin on chicken.

The only reason I ever eat vegetables is because they are good at soaking up the fat meat leaves in the pan.

CCG's advice is absolutely excellent, even many dermatologists don't know how bad hot water is for skin. Especially hot water with soap.

I love the way you think Samjohn re the reason for eating veg :)

I know of at least two people with help from Chinese herbs for eczema
Also Diprobase cream - but it may be prescription only.

Cotton next to the skin or silk. Avoid man-made fibres like the plague and dont use bio washing powders or liquids

Please moderate your language and read again what JayJay said.

Totally unnecessary and offensive to talk like that.

I have 'high' cholesterol but my ratios are great and my arteries unfurred! :)

local place to us does the crispy duck or crispy lamb which you wrap up in a big fat iceberg lettuce leaf :)
there is probably a bit of soy and sugar rubbed on the duck skin but should be a 'reasonable' cheat?

I was just texting with a friend about pauper's meals. He wants to feed me cheese, noodles and processed vegetable protein which is apparently made from beans.
YUK!!
