Prepare for rude health at all ages …like Janet

NEVER backward in coming forward, Janet Street Porter, left, is fronting the We100 campaign, which aims to encourage everyone to live ‘100 healthy, happy years’.

It’s a great idea, and the broadcasting legend, who’s 70, was seen on television on This Morning trying out the circus-style gym class aerial yoga – which involves swinging from silk hammocks suspended from the ceiling.

Four-times-married Janet, currently a panellist on ITV’s Loose Women, also revealed that she’d consider getting hitched again. And, with characteristic frankness, she said: ‘People think that after 60, your bits drop off and that you stop having sex, but it’s simply not true.’

Well, by being as fit as she is and trying new things, she’s going the right way about it all. Exercise maintains great muscle structure, brain function, internal organ function and (vitally) strong hormone balance in the body.

If you want to stay active in the workplace, and in your private life, then lift weights, work your heart hard, reduce alcohol, sleep well, don’t get stressed, laugh regularly – and be with someone you love.
