Basically, a series of rules and principles govern this diet, "centred on a philosophy of strict moderation." In essence, if you eat a diet of fresh, natural ingredients consisting mainly of fruit, vegetables and fish, don't gorge yourself, exercise and live a low-stress existence, you will live longer.No real surprises here, and you really don't need to live a cloistered monk's existence to achieve this, although this would undoubtedly help those with self-control issues like me.
In general, I suppose that moderation is a good thing - as long as you don't overdo it. For me, I'm still contemplating the merits of the coffee, cigarette and lettuce diet.

Love the lettuce fags and coffee diet - it always worked for me! This is a real marketing oppportunity especially if you chuck in the odd kebab as a reward for hitting the 20-a-day target intake.
sigh. And who wants to live to be a 100 if you've got to stay in the monestry the whole time anyway? how long is that exactly in human years? and they can't talk at the dinner table. A life without chat? no thankyou guardian diet/lifestyle gurus, Pass me the gravy and tell me about your day -tommy;-)
