I’ve always tried to keep my calorie intake in sync with my weight. My belt is my gauge. If it’s tight then I eat less. That worked quite well for many years. I kept my intake of protein, carbs, fats, vitamins and so on in balance with my waist line. In recent years another indicator appeared. My little grandson would visit and first thing in the morning climb onto our bed, snuggle up and then stick his finger in my stomach and say “grandpa you have a fat tummy.”

I’ve been taking vitamins for decades. How I got started may be more interesting than how long I’ve been taking them or even what they...

Longevity and the nature vs nurture debate: which is more important, heredity or lifestyle? Dr Peter Attia and I agree that exercise is key!

I bought my first pair of New Balance shoes in 1965. Since then, I ran several marathons in NB shoes, and I still wear them today.

I like good food. And antioxidants and a few supplements and vitamins have been part of my health-care routine for decades.
