Pat: I make sure that I swim once a week, I go to yoga and I walk. I walk out on the moor lands and the hills, but I also walk a lot around the city to get myself to places. If I can get up and walk somewhere in half an hour, then I do walk there. I also run and I've run for a lot of years.

Stephen: So a lot of exercise, walking, running, swimming. What about your diet? What kind of things do you eat?
3.
Pat: Where diet's concerned, well I don't eat red meat at all, or I don't eat any meat. I do eat fish and I watch the amount of dairy products I eat, but I do eat lots of vegetables, fresh fruit and seeds and pulses.

Stephen: Pulses okay, so that's a very healthy lifestyle. What about people from other cultures? Do they have. do they have a healthy lifestyle, healthy diets?
5.
Pat: Well when it comes to some of the Asian cooking, I myself do like curries and I have had holidays in India and I just feel that the Indian and Pakistani foods perhaps they're not healthy in the manner in what they're cooked in and that isn't butter, it's gee. Whereas in Europe, we tend to use oils, like olive oil, sunflower oil, groundnut oil, which are a far more healthier type of fat than as in Indian and Pakistani cooking.
6. Also in. the Chinese tend to fry as well, so their things aren't always fried in the correct fat. But I know that the soya that's eaten in Japan and China is very good for you, and I do tend to eat some of that myself.

Stephen: Okay thank you very much Pat.
