Young at heart: Patrick Holford

Nutritional therapist and author Patrick Holford will speak on the ‘ten secrets of healthy ageing’ at the Rude Health Show, in the RDS on Sept 15 and 16.

He will also conduct the GI diet workshop.

“One of the secrets of healthy ageing is not to take drugs,” says Holford, 54. “The average 65-year-old is on five different medications a day — it’s not unusual for a 75-year-old to be on eight. They don’t realise that drugs mug vitamins and minerals.”
