As we visit the tranquil coastal hamlet of Acciaroli in Southern Italy, we find that the residents have one thing in common – one in ten live to their hundredth birthday, and beyond.
You may say that it is the Mediterranean food or lifestyle, but a rather canny entrepreneur, David Spencer-Percival, looked into the story of Acciaroli, which had been reported by the BBC, The Telegraph and the New York Times, to discover that all of the inhabitants consume the herb Rosemary every day of their life.
In addition to this consumption, they are not at all health-conscious, and indulge in all the pleasures of life that come with a health warning, including wine and tobacco, as well as good food.
It is also a fact that this longevity of life and Rosemary go hand in hand, as we look into surrounding villages and similar coastal regions who do not have Rosemary as part of their staple diet, and as a result do not have such a great life expectancy.
I am gleaning much more from David Spencer-Percival’s discovery as Rosemary holds high esteem even in Greek mythology, the New Testament and Shakespearean drama.
There are even scientific references as a memory-boosting restorative, and it is seen to have antioxidant and antibacterial properties, which would confirm the longevity in the village of Acciaroli, where Rosemary is the central ingredient.
David has pushed the boundaries in his research to provide confirmation of his findings, and is in talks with Professor Moss, from Northumbria University, whose knowledge of the herb is extensive; he has been investigating Rosemary as a memory aid, and is embarking on trials of No 1 Rosemary Water to test its potency as a memory-enhancing product.
When I met David in my Pinewood Studios offices recently, it was a pleasure to spend time with this clever entrepreneur who explained to me the arduous process of discovery he had endured, with months of exploration into ways of extracting the essence of the herb to produce a pure health-giving drink. He has succeeded in achieving this without using additives – containing just water blended with Rosemary in a bottle. He admits it has been a longer process than he originally thought, but his passion for the concept has enabled him to produce the only pure Rosemary Water drink to exist so far.
So is it possible to reverse the ageing process with Rosemary? Whenever we make life changes we can see them reflected inside and out, with our digestive system and then our skin, so this is definitely possible.
It is not rocket science to see that Rosemary, which contains so many healing properties should prolong life, or even reverse the effects of ageing, and so I would like to agree with David and say that this health drink No 1 Rosemary Water, holds the secret it in its waters.
I have recently passed some bottles to celebrity friends and lesser known mortals, who are all feeding back in a positive way. Anthea Turner is already a fan and has referred to it in her monthly blog. All are enjoying what is a tasteful and refreshing drink. It comes in still or sparkling, and I personally like both, whereas one colleague prefers the sparkling variety. Another design-oriented friend commented on the beauty of the bottle, which is in lustrous white – and I have recently placed one on my kitchen dresser as I agree it looks stunning.
It is no surprise therefore that the product No 1 Rosemary Water is in Harrods, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and other high end outlets to be announced shortly. It is now being seen as a Global Brand, which is power to its founder and the belief in the integrity of his discovery.
Perhaps this is why Rosemary is also regarded to be associated to Love – or in this case, the Love of Life, which is the most powerful symbol of all.

As I glance into the tell-tale car mirror on my way to work, I can clearly see the lines on my face that I fondly call ‘my map of life’ – as the sun streams through the window.
I am a huge fan of heavy rock, which is always a surprise to my friends, as I look like the typical middle-class mum of two teenage kids, but I have studied the exciting life of my favourite rock stars, with their drug and alcohol abuse, from the safety of the suburbs. I have watched their tempestuous lifestyle, followed by rehab and subsequent salvation, or worse, with secret envy.
Deep lines are etched on their faces telling the tale, and I am beginning to look a bit like them – without the back story of course, apart from a few wild nights in my youth. Well I am not going to incriminate myself at this stage.
I am certainly not averse to a nip and a tuck where necessary, or even a boob job or a bit of Botox (although I am yet to venture down that road), but believe it or not, I am embracing the inevitable aging process and beginning to relish the freedom that comes with it.
I was always amazed by the sheer outrageous behaviour of my late mother, as she told people off in the street, used the odd swear word (which was most unusual for her younger self) and generally upset people, especially her neighbours.
So, with the exception of throwing the television out of the bedroom window (à la Keith Moon), I am planning all sorts of revelries in a few years’ time, along with some equally daring and dangerous safari expeditions, which are bound to upset a few people!
Having said that, I am already divorced, so don’t have a partner to shock, although my ex already believes I am a loose cannon, and so nothing to disprove there.
My kids are smart and I feel I have done them proud as they are heading to university; and my sister already knows my capabilities, so no worries there.
I need to take the plunge and head off on my own Rock n Roll adventure, which will probably involve a few bottles of wine (nothing stronger as I want to remember it all) and some brave decisions, for a safe middle-class female; after all, the world is our oyster the older we become, and the less we need to justify our actions.
So rather than plan your innocuous retirement, look upon the inevitable as a chance to explore other options, and live your dream. You definitely won’t regret it, and you will get respect rather than criticism as you embark on your voyage of discovery.
After all, why always take the tried and tested route? If you haven’t done so before, throw caution to the wind for the first time in your life – which is so very rock n roll!!

YOUR NEW SPRING BODY WITH THE ELIXIR OF LIFE
by our Editor in Chief, Dee Anderson
As someone who has tried out most types of diets, from California juicing and Atkins combination to sheer starvation, believe me I have been a dedicated follower of them all – and I have lost the weight, only to have gained it back after the diet has finished.
So as a seasoned weight loss fanatic, I feel that I am more than qualified to shout about a miraculous discovery that has not only changed my life and body shape, but has altered the way I approach ‘diet’ as well as optimum health and energy.
This ‘discovery’ is in the shape of a highly experienced health practitioner, Gudrun Jonsson, whose life work has been dedicated to health issues, through the combination of healing remedies, diet and personal interaction.
Wind back to late September 2017, yes, just last year. I had been through a particularly stressful time with family issues, I had gained loads of weight and was feeling sluggish, anxious, unattractive and lacking in energy.
Around this time I was introduced to a lady who told me that she had lost a lot of weight by visiting a dietician, and as my resolution was merely in the area of shedding the pounds, I decided to give it a try.
The question of dealing with the problem at root level was way off my radar at the time, but as Gudrun explained my past mistakes in failing to address issues of digestion and acid in the system, together with high levels of sugar in the blood, I began to take it more seriously.
Gudrun focuses on a combination of the traditional healing arts from the subcontinent, biopathic treatments and the latest advances in scientific health, ageing and wellness.
Before establishing her practice in London, Swedish-born Gudrun trained and qualified as a biopath at the Institut for Biologisk Medicin in Copenhagen. Gudrun has written two bestselling books – ‘Gut Reaction’ and ‘The Gut Reaction Eating Plan’ – and has made numerous television appearances. Her success has earned her the respect of complementary and medical practitioners alike, and a devoted following among her many clients.
Drawing upon her extensive knowledge of the healing properties of plants and foods, Gudrun’s treatments lead her clients to have a more alkaline and balanced digestive function that impacts on their overall health and wellbeing. Her treatment also includes plant-based serums, oils and balms that can heal skin conditions ranging from acne to psoriasis, and can balance acidic constitutions and heal inflammation.
I have to confess that she probably caught me at the right time, as I was desperate to turn everything around in the health department, but I was in for a shock as she told me that my digestion was practically non-existent. She also explained that I was just skimming over the surface of the problem by doing all the fad diets, and that I needed to look at the core issues before I made any headway at all.
Gudrun prescribed a variety of remedies after administering the most incredible reflexology – and my admiration for her as a practitioner has grown as my health and energy has returned over the past few months, and as my body has shrunk in size – even my feet have lost their puffiness.
I now bump into old friends and acquaintances who hardly recognise me from a distance, and remark on my drastic transformation. I have bought clothes two sizes down from where I was four months ago and am loving getting into my original size 4 kitten heels again without destroying my feet.
Having said all of this, I was ready to listen, and if you do visit Gudrun you have to follow her guidance with dedication; it is not time-consuming and it is not as strict as you would imagine, but you have to be ready to change your life. Your mind, body and soul have to be working together in harmony.
I do believe in Angels, and believe they come in many manifestations. I really believe that Gudrun is a walking angel, who has been sent to me as someone who has transformed my thinking, and ultimately saved my life.
