Polymeal: the Recipe for a Long and Healthy Life

NEW scientific research has concluded there is life-extending truth in the old saying that 'a little of what you fancy does you good'.

Daily consumption of food stuffs such as dark chocolate, garlic, wine and fish can dramatically increase life-expectancy and cut the risk of heart disease by up to 76 per cent.

Eaten in the right combination - to make what scientists have labelled a 'polymeal' - several popular food types have been given the medical seal of approval for lowering cholesterol levels and blood pressure and reducing heart disease.

According to the research, published in the Christmas issue of the British Medical Journal, the combined effects of these different types of foods produces a potent mix in the body which can produce remarkable health protection benefits in adults.
