When I’m working in the hospital, I’ll exist on fruit and mixed nuts throughout the day instead of the supermarket tuna sandwich, crisps and orange juice. I used to have while at hospital, which was bad for me.: I meditate again for 20 minutes. It’s something I’ve been doing since I was 18, and it helps me focus and also relax.
My wife is French-Belgian so it’s taken some time to wean her off cream, butter, meat and chips. We eat the same meals, and three nights a week have Riverford meal boxes which I started using when I became mainly vegetarian, as I found they widened my vegetable repertoire. We tend to eat plant-based, spicy dinners like a cauliflower, spinach curry, with fried red onions and turmeric, mustard seeds, cumin, garam masala. I mix in some kefir, and sprinkle some fresh coriander over the top. We never really go to the supermarket these days, we buy fruit and veg we need from local shops.: I travel a lot so when I’m home I enjoy relaxing on the sofa and watching a film or a TV series. We’re onat the moment.
There’s no perfect way to live, and as we age, inevitably things change. I don’t want to present myself as having the perfect routine, because it doesn’t always work. If I come back from a work trip from Canada and have dreadful jet lag, that wipes out all my efforts. Life intervenes in all sorts of ways, but I try to remember the importance of a combination of sleep, relaxation, exercise and food that is good for me.
