Live long and prosper

Sir, – In your Health + Family section on August 28th, Louise Ní Chríodáin gave us Sir James Sawyer's 19 rules for reaching 100 ("Eat fat, no milk, open bedroom windows: 19 rules of long living"). She forgot to mention that he died in his 75th year so we can only take them with a grain of salt! – Yours, etc,

JACKIE HICKEY,

Shankill,
