I think that\u2019s totally wrong. Too much of \u2018wellness\u2019 is about self-denial. You\u2019ve got to push hard on physical activity. You must deny yourself all these foods. All of that is nonsense, you know. If you\u2019re going to do \u2018wellness\u2019 for 40 years, it can\u2019t be about self-denial. Going to extremes is not what the human body was designed for.<\/p>\n

We know that too much of one thing is almost invariably bad for you. It\u2019s toxic. But too little of it is also bad for you. There\u2019s always a happy medium. The key is finding new habits that you genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I do yoga for 20 minutes every morning \u2013 I look forward to it. I like to go out bike riding.<\/p>\n

Just yesterday, we rented bikes and went out several times. It\u2019s a wonderful experience: the wind blowing in your face, new vistas to see, new challenges. That\u2019s what makes life enjoyable, not self-denial. In my work as an oncologist, I\u2019ve treated many patients, but I\u2019ve also thought deeply about the meaning of life. One of the challenges of my job is that your patients typically face life-or-death situations. If the drugs stop working, you might need to say: \u2018Okay, we\u2019re not going to be able to overcome this cancer, so how do we make the time you have on Earth meaningful?\u2019<\/p>\n

Those discussions Eat cream! ice your begin to inform your view of life. What is meaningful? A large number of my patients say it\u2019s spending time together with their family, with their close friends; others say it\u2019s finally doing that thing or taking that leap they\u2019ve put off for a while. Almost every cancer patient I\u2019ve ever dealt with realises that they\u2019re going to focus on the important things in life \u2013 which means getting rid of a lot of nonsense.<\/p>\n

That informed my book, Eat Your Ice Cream.<\/p>\n

Sunday: Good Life A weekend round-up of our top reads. GOODHOUSEKEEPING.COM\/UK 3 H ello, Housekeepers! Whether you\u2019ve just joined the Good Housekeeping family or you\u2019ve been reading us since SodaStreams and pineapple hedgehogs were a thing, I\u2019m so glad you\u2019re here. One of the loveliest things about refreshing GH over the last year or so has been hearing from readers old and new \u2013 people discovering us for the first time, daughters subscribing for mothers, mothers subscribing for daughters and loyal GHers telling us they have copies from the 70s and 80s in cupboards they absolutely plan to sort out one day (do send them our way \u2013 we love hanging vintage mags on our office walls).<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what I love most about Good Housekeeping: it evolves with our lives. Always has. For 104 years, we\u2019ve talked about homes and food and style \u2013 but what we\u2019ve really been talking about is how women live. How we cope. How we change. How we start over. How we find joy. How we hold ourselves together when life becomes a bit much. All of that is housekeeping, right?<\/p>\n

This issue is full of those conversations. The GH Kitchen team have outdone themselves with glorious sundown suppers, clever cook- your-garden recipes and the ultimate gourmet burgers. And Melanie Rickey is on hand to solve summer style dilemmas, from heatwave dressing to this year\u2019s accessory updates (page 70). But, alongside the sunshine, we\u2019re also getting to grips with the emotional side of modern life.<\/p>\n

Laura Jane Williams writes beautifully on page 54 about that unsettling feeling of \u2018My life is great\u2026 so why am I so sad?\u2019; Harriet Green explores burnout and dealing with grief (page 84); and on page 36, Jessica Barrett takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the way motherhood can bring out an unrecognisable inner you! We\u2019re also leaning fully into one thing we know you all love: books.<\/p>\n

Our August Summer Megapack includes a 36-page summer reading magazine, packed with brilliant recommendations. There\u2019s also a Summer Puzzle Book for beach bags, train journeys and rainy afternoons \u2013 plus our exclusive Pretty Organised GH notebook. Longer days and summer holidays give us a little more space to reflect on what we want.<\/p>\n

New plans, new ideas, new dreams \u2013 write them all down before you forget!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
