On this week’s podcast, we set another record with our oldest guest ever. Colin Rose, the author of 10 published books including Health Defence and Delay Ageing, talks the talk and walks the walk. If you look at the accompanying video you would never believe that Colin is 80 years old, and listening to him you wouldn’t think that either.
I met Colin many years ago when I was introduced to his UniVite supplements business and he is linked with two of my previous guests, Toby Baxendale and Dr. Paul Clayton. I read 'Delay Ageing’ prior to chatting with Colin and much of the advice and guidance dispensed by Colin in the book covers much of the information that I have covered with other guests in the last 12 months. It’s reassuring to find that we are on the same path. If, like me, you have a goal of sliding up to the graveside screaming, “yea ha, what a ride!” then you’ll love this conversation as we give you all of the knowledge you need to make that happen. I hope you enjoy the conversation as we chat about:
- The importance of a healthy microbiome
- Why you should choose foods with different colours
- Another vote for balance and diversity in your diet
- Genetics vs Epigenetics (nature vs nurture)
- The Japanese practice of 'Hara hachi Bu’ or “Stop eating when you are 80% full’
- The real reason why the Mediterranean diet works
- Intermittent fasting, autophagy, and why you need to rid the body of zombie cells
- How to be the master of physical and biological ageing
- Strength training, aerobic exercise, and their contributions to delayed ageing
