“If I was writing a lifestyle book it would have the same advice on every page, and youâ€™d know it all already. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables, and live your whole life in every way as well as you can: exercise regularly as part of your daily routine, avoid obesity, donâ€™t drink too much, donâ€™t smoke, and donâ€™t get distracted from the real, basic, simple causes of ill health.
