To be able to enjoy one of the greatest wonders of the world, compound interest, you have to live long. As Charlie Munger have said, ” I only want to know where I am going to die, so I don’t have to go there ” . Or Warren Buffett, “When I die, I’d like them to remark that it’s the oldest looking corpse they have ever seen”
When my middle son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in May 2012, his life, mine and our family’s changed forever. The past few months I have spent most of my time researching the subject of Diabetes and specifically nutrition. I have come to realise that nutrition is probably the most important factor in living a long healthy life. I have never before give too much thought to nutrition, except the dogma of conventional advice, “eat low fat, high carb diets “.
What I have learned in this time has brought me out of my hibernation of blogging. There is a message that needs to be told. The conventional wisdom is not working and the world population is getting more unhealthy as a consequence. This is bad for investments and bad for our health.
