The Wine Diet

Is it not a conspiracy the way we have all the things we grow to know as 'facts' suddenly tern to be fiction?
Do you remember Pluto used to be a planet? I wonder how many other things are wrong and yet we think we know ("The known unknowns!")

Anyway I've been following a series of articles on diet - last week it was about how wine is good for my health. I never used to drink (oops sorry I never could afford buying wine!) was not even concerned about its medical value. It was not an issue back in the day - I stayed healthy the natural way; anything I did I did it with moderation. It is amaxim I still subscribe too.

As I slowly (and gracefully grow 'old') move on in years I realise the importance of watching what I eat. I know life is tough but we still cling to it.
Healthy diets are big business nowadays - manufacturers have us paranoid so they can sell anything to us. Remember kimbo with vitamins? If you cannot convince someone at least scare them into buying

low fat diets, fibre and drinking lots of water...

This are the most expensive stuff to get in any supermarket. Two slices of bread stuffed with slices of chicken and lettuce £2 - hey and that is from the 'normal' shops I go to and for drink to go with that - that's a small fortune, especially since you are not full at the end of it all. I look at all that and read that diet and chronic diseases, like cancer, are closely linked. Obesity is linked to diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary heart diseases and various cancers. Especially when you are young if you somehow manage to survive all that in your old age you are staring at blindness, osteoporosis, cognitive decline and dementia. AAaaarrggh!

I better watch what I let in my body. Buy lettuce, tomatoes, bread and make my own sandwich - very much cheaper.
