Women all over the world are doing a variety of things to combat aging. They want their faces to look like they did a few years ago, and are trying all kinds of new technologies to find the look of youth.

Limit protein to the size of a deck of cards; carbohydrates like rice and bread and potatoes for example, to the size of your closed fist. Vegetables and fruit should fill half your plate and fats and oils should be kept to a minimum – less than one tablespoon. If you don’t exercise very often choose a small plate and pile it high with low-fat, low-calorie vegetables or salad before adding meat or poultry and carbs.

Wholemeal bread and pasta will help protect you against pre-menopausal breast cancer too so aim for 3 servings of 16g portions a day. If you don’t exercise much…
