DR MAX PRESCRIBES... CLASSICAL MUSIC

THERE’S been a lot of research over the years suggesting that classical music can help in a host of ways, from improving concentration and memory to decreasing blood pressure. But a new study shows it could improve your diet, too. It found the music reduces a penchant for ‘indulgent, savoury’ foods such as chips. If you’re new to it, I’d recommend the book Year Of Wonder by Clemency Burton-Hill, which introduces you to a piece of classical music every day for a year. Much better than a Big Mac.
