Easy Jambalaya
Hi!
I've been watching a show on TV most mornings this week - BBC's "How to Live Longer" - great motivation as you see someone improve their diet, exercise, smoking, drinking and stressful habits and cut years off their biological age within a period of 6 weeks. Highly addictive viewing but as I've been using the show to accompany a step routine I feel like I'm joining in the age-defying miracle....
There's also a great quiz to accompany the series where you can find how long you can expect to live. Read the details (and find out my life expectancy) on my blog at

Live long, have fun

Feature Article : Power of Now
We all know we should be living healthier lives - after all we're bombarded with information every day telling us so even if we can't yet see the evidence of poor habits in our own bodies and state of health.
But somehow it's always easier to leave it until later.
There's time enough for that, we think, in the spring, or once we've had our birthday, or after the dinner party, or cruise or business trip. At the very least we'll wait until the weekend is over and start on Monday.
But you know what happens, there is always another occasion to eat too much, another celebration, another festive season, another restaurant meal, another busy social weekend and our plans to get slim and healthy get postponed again.
The fact is the only time to start eating healthily, moving more and losing weight is now and the sooner you start the sooner you'll look good and feel great.
The longer you wait the harder it is - you're not getting slimmer or fitter or healthier by waiting - you're getting more and more overweight, less and less fit and healthy. If you had started changing your habits this time last year you could be looking at a vibrant, healthy version of you. You could be feeling proud and full of vitality, fit, strong, healthy and in great shape.
Will you still be saying the same thing next year (looking and feeling worse) or will you do something about it now?
You don't have to make it hard on yourself. Change your habits one by one. Make healthier choices. Eat just what you need and no more. Drink more water and less alcohol and sugary soda. Move a little more. Sit about a little less.
Great things happen with the smallest changes in the right direction. It makes you feel good. It creates the momentum you need to make permanent changes.
If you wish you had changed your habits last year and never had to diet any more, start now and make those changes you know you need to make.

Recipe of the week : Easy Jambalaya
Jambalaya is usually quite heavy on calories as it often contains high fat red meat such as spicy sausage or chorizo. This version uses a small amount of cooked chicken instead. If you only have uncooked chicken you can add it with the vegetables at the start of the recipe and make sure it's cooked through. If you like hot and spicy food or prefer things a little milder, you can adjust the amount and strength of the chillies to suit your taste - generally the smallest chillies are the hottest.
Serves 4
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, peeled and sliced
1 green (bell) pepper, deseeded and chopped
1 red (bell) pepper, deseeded and chopped
125g (4oz) cooked chicken
1 teaspoon paprika
2 red chillies, deseeded and chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
300g (10oz) uncooked basmati rice
900ml (1.5 pints) vegetable stock (broth)
400g (14oz) can chopped tomatoes
175g (6oz) cooked peeled prawns (shrimp) - thawed if frozen
Heat the oil in a large pan and gently fry the onions and peppers until soft, stirring frequently to avoid sticking. Add the paprika, chillies and garlic and continue to cook for a minute then stir in the rice. Add the stock and the tomatoes, bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is cooked. (If the mixture becomes too dry at any point before the rice is cooked add a little water or stock.) Add the cooked chicken and prawns and stir to heat through. Serve immediately with a green salad.
