In mid-life the body’s response to foods and toxins can change. Hormonal shifts require a shift in patterns of diet and exercise. Since turning fifty-five I have progressively adjusted my own regime. At present my daily fast is from 8pm to 11:30am. My food during the day consists of:

• Filtered Water
• Fruit and Protein Smoothies (comprising filtered water, fruit, sprouted greens and raw fermented pea protein isolate)
• Black Tea
• Organic Chicken Bone Broth with Nutritional Yeast
• A Healthy Evening Meal (low carb recipes courtesy of Hello Fresh) with a smidgin of a sweet treat for dessert

My goal as I approach 60 is to be as trim at 60 as I was at 45, which I have kept in my mind as my fittest, most comfortable and most energised physique. As I continue to  adapt, for the benefit of my fellow middle-agers, I will continue to keep you posted.
