Non-dieting

 🍋🍅🍐🍓🍒🍇 🥩🍟🍗🍞

 a 2012 study found people who consistently had the following behaviours had a lower risk of mortality —

1. Regular exercise (more than 12 times a month)
2. Diet rich in vegetables and fruit (at least five serves a day)
3. Moderate alcohol intake
4. Avoiding or quitting smoking
   

In this study, people who kept up with all four behaviours had similarly low risk of dying, regardless of whether they were classed as normal weight, overweight or obese.

To this list, Professor Wittert adds 

1. getting enough good-quality sleep, eating at regular times, 
   
2. restricting eating to daylight hours and 
   
3. reducing stress to optimise health.
