Copyright Description Do this now to be healthier when you’re older. Cristina Acosta nutrition diva I've been following these guidelines for about 10 years and with the exception of mostly eliminating sugar have been successful because these changes are pretty easy to implement on a daily basis. And I do eat less sugar than ever. I was encouraged to do this when my late father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Though there is no known cure for the disease, I think that being in optimal health helps. Anyway, one of the things I do to incorporate 9 fruits and vegies a day in my diet is to use my Vita-Mix. Here's a link to my page talking about that: http://cristinaacosta.com/.docs/pg/10227 Thanks for the great blog. http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/Five-ways-to-slow-aging.aspx?commentid=18048#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/Five-ways-to-slow-aging.aspx?commentid=18048#Comments Mon, 27 Jul 2009 02:35:56 GMT Kate nutrition diva I am surprised about sugar as well. I can’t have a cup of tea without honey, but I can take a cup of coffee without sugar. I also tend to have something with my cup of tea like biscuit or a slice of cake, which will be difficult to give up. I am all in favour of fruit and veg, but nine a day seems to be a lot. And, I love your advice about sleep, but it is harder to follow than it seems. Thank you.
