Why haven’t I had flu for the last 40 years? Duke of Edinburgh
“Why haven’t I had flu for the last 40 years?” he demanded.
Express, By JANE WARREN
The doctor’s response suggested he had a strong immune system enabling him to fight off the virus without feeling unwell, coupled with the fact he does not “go on the Tube every day”.
But there is more to the Duke’s health than access to a better quality of life than many people. This is a man who has always shunned the pursuits of typical pensioners. Even as an octogenarian he continued to compete in demanding carriage driving competitions, a sport he took up in 1971 after retiring from polo in his 50th year...............................
He stopped smoking in 1947, shortly before his wedding to the Queen and once said that he follows a low-carbohydrate Atkins-type diet. He drinks moderately and is said to swim regularly. One of the Queen’s former physicians described him as “astonishingly fit for a man of his age”.
Your diet is a bank account. Good food choices are good investments.
