I was stunned by how fast people walked when I first visited the City of London. It was a world apart from how I grew up in the furthest of south Europe, where we would take our time to enjoy the scenery and chat with people on the street almost every time we went somewhere on foot.

“A healthy lifestyle is associated with slower memory decline, even in the…

7 Ways to Follow the Mediterranean Diet
Named one of the healthiest diets in the world for six years in a row, the Mediterranean diet is abundant in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and healthy fats. It features fish and poultry—lean protein sources—over red meat. Red wine is consumed regularly but in moderate amounts.

The Mediterranean diet has also been associated with reduced levels of inflammation, a risk factor for heart attacks, strokes…
