Porridge: The Secret to Longevity
>
While the longevity guru Aubrey DeGrey (who looks a bit like the prognosticator Nostradamus) preaches caloric restriction to a svelter, longer-living you - Alec Holden poses an alternative theory - daily consumption of copious amounts of porridge. Mr. Holden, aged 100, wagered a friend 100 pounds that he would live 10 more years, attaining centenarian status, on a diet of porridge. Holden therefore is not only 100, he's also 25,000 pounds richer.
