HEALTHY EATING ~ Is a very important subject and the seven foods mentioned in the SONNET are essentially concerned with slowing down (you can't stop it) the ageing process. We all want to look younger (M & F) and live longer. We all need a balanced low calorie low fat diet and if we eat five (or more) portions of Fruit & Veg each day the we don't need expensive supplements. I teach Food Science and there is a lot of ignorance about Healthy Eating & Nutrition. WE ARE WHAT WE EAT so it is important to keep a general note (not a paranoid one !) of what we eat each week and why. Note it's ONE glass of red wine per day not a BOTTLE ! Health Eating = Healthy Life ~ Love BRIAN XOX
I really enjoyed reading this poem and explanation. I am not going to lie it takes me a while to understand other people poems. But the second time, I realized the simple and complex beauty in the words.

Thanks JIMMIE much appreciated you being a Food Nut an'all ! A Sonnet has to have 14 lines and each line should have a similar number od syllables (mine all have 10). It does not have to rhyme but I have used aminly Rhyming Couplets to make it flow ! Thanks for being my Friend ~ BRIAN
