My husband’s birthday is coming up soon and I did consider buying him The Fountain of Youth which Brucie swears by for keeping him fit and agile; it was given to him by his mother-in-law 27 years ago when he married the stunning Wilnelia who is 32 years younger.

The book claims that by following a regime of exercises based on five rites – energy, fire, water, earth and air, devised by Tibetan monks more than 2,500 years ago, the exercises are so potent they can turn back time  –  turning grey hair black, improving eyesight and memory and banishing wrinkles.

Clearly that did not work in its entirety as Brucie’s hair is not black, and he has a few wrinkles too, which you would expect for a man with twinkly eyes of 82, however fit he is. So I checked the book out on Amazon and found its star rating from readers who had tried it out varied widely from 1-4. Readers said that although the exercises were good, they failed to rejuvinate.

As a good wife I am concerned about the health and well being of my husband, so I decided to look for another book and settled on one written by the world’s greatest living explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes called Fit for Life. Promisingly, it has been given five star ratings by most reviewers for its sensible and pragmatic approach.

While my husband’s hair is going grey,  there are no promises in this book that the exercise programme will restore its colour back!
