My only ambition is ‘to teach you how to eat’ says Michael Montignac, a French business executive. He has invented a method of healthy eating, which is based on the idea that we should not eat less, we should simply eat the right things – the right carbohydrates and eat the right fats-which are traditionally part of a Mediterranean way of eating. The Montignac method is not a diet, it is a philosophy of life,

which lets people be ‘fit, healthy, energetic and slim without counting calories’. In Montignac’s method you don’t have to worry about…

MAKING DRUGS SAFER

France and Britain have aggressive programs to get hospitals to report adverse drug reactions, says Dr. Jerome Groopman, a top medical researcher.

Groopman is especially disturbed that 75% of the drugs given to children lack verified safety and dosage instructions for kids. “No one collected this data, so sometimes pediatricians fly blind, forced to guess the best dose.” He notes.

BREAKING THE ICE

Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool.

It's just before 7 a.m. and I'm at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature the water is only 11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people swimming.

I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such cold water. However, in the end, I decided to ask people instead. Peter Smith has been a swimmer here for three years, coming every morning before work. "It's wonderful on a cold winter morning", he says, "I thought it would make me healthier and haven't been ill once since I started".

All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees with them. Some doctors say it helps fight illness, while others say it could be dangerous, especially for your heart.

I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. "That's easy", he said. "There's a place in the middle where the ice is thin and easy to break. You have to avoid the sides where the ice is thicker. I did try to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found that it was impossible to break throught the ice. I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred metres. But the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked very carefully into the pool, stood there almost in shock and then got out again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!

What does Peter Smith say about his morning swim? Seleccione una:

A. It is the reason why he keeps well all year

B. He enjoys it when the pool is covered in ice

C. It has helped him recover from a recent illness
