Happy like a Wrinkly in France

Apparently, the Germans have a saying "happy like God in France". The modern version is "happy like a wrinkly in France".

What does it mean?

It appears the French are living longer and it's estimated that mid by century, (if they keep going at the current rate) the number of centenarians will grow to 170 000 and three quarters of them are women!

So what's going on? Is it something in the air, the diet, the wine or simply contentment ?

Life expectancy is higher in the South than in the North and even higher in the South West of France. As diets change depending on the region, is it that the diet in the South West is healthiest?

Apparently not, because it's reported that the French are (allegedly) now following a diet more akin to their Anglo Saxons neighbours; high fat, mainly processed foods and beer?!

In which case, rest assured, there'll no granny boom !!

SO YOU WANT TO STOP SMOKING ONCE AND FOR ALL?

There is no single magic approach to stopping smoking. It’s a learned behaviour (we’re not born smokers). There is a major psychological element as well as chemical dependency. No single formula, system or product will do the job. All they do is make the manufacturers richer. That’s why so many attempts fail.

Whilst there is no quick, easy way to quit smoking - if you want to find out how you can stop once and for all - call Edith Maskell now on FREEPHONE 0800 093 1178 for a FREE initial consultation.
