As the old saying says….”breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince, and dine like a pauper…….” Well I agree. Speaking personally I know that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for me. I MUST HAVE BREAKFAST.

My rules for staying healthy are

be as physically active as possible
eat a well balanced and varied diet of fresh foods
be thankful and happy

Despite my healthy lifestyle I have unfortunately experienced hospitals, both as an In-patient and an Out-patient, more times than I like to remember! The brilliant comedian Tony Hancock recounts his hospital experience in the famous 60’s Blood Donor skit, where he compares a nurse’s lot with that of a model.

Today I find myself looking back and I’m wondering – am I as fit at 70 as I was when I was 30? I’m certainly fit enough to do everything I want to like taking keep-fit classes, skiing, and playing tennis. In fact, in my twenties, after I’d had two babies, I wasn’t that fit. It was later that I developed a level of fitness that enabled me to go on breakfast-time television, but that didn’t start until I was about 40.

For years during my 20’s and 30’s I worked as a Fashion and Photographic model which took me all around the world before I finally settled into Radio and Television presentation. Throughout this time I religiously looked after my sensitive skin and was delighted to be chosen by Oil of Ulay in 1980 to appear in their TV ads. I was 40 years old.
