The vice squad are not looking for longer lives


By Gabrielle Fagan


WE know smoking, drink­ ing and making poor food choices are naughty, but it appears that most of us do not care about heaith advice that couid extend our iives. Even though these ‘vices’


may th reaten our health, they mean more to us than the prospect of living longer, new research reveals. A study conducted by


Tesco Life Insurance has found that 89% of us plead guilty to a t least one vice, but only the minority would trade them in for more years of life. Londoners are the least


likely group to give up the two key vices of drinking and smoking, Northerners are unable to resist fast food, and


HEALTH t ‘


r-3


ing is that less than half of people would cut out one of their guilty pleasiires for a few extra years of life without it.”


Nearly 40% feel having a


tipple is too enjoyable for them ever to consider quit­ ting, with only 22% willing to curb a boozy lifestyle for up to 10 more years of life. Smokers are even more


MATTERS


the Scots are a self-confessed nation of chocaholics. Spokesman James Yerkess


says: “We’re hardly a nation of goody two-shoes, wi th nine out of 10 of us confess­ ing we regularly indulge to excess. “But what’s really interest­


reckless - just 27% would only consider giving up if it meant a t least a decade longer on the clock. Women have the biggest


problem with chocolate, with 40% confessing to being chocoholics, and 44% of peo­ ple believe they should cut back on their carbohydrates. Mr Yerkess says: “Dr


Atkins has clearly left a lega­ cy of guilt among us Brits about our diet. In contrast, 38% of us admit we should ditch some rich food, and


18% eat too much meat or fish. This all points to a nation aware of passing dietary issues, but unsure which they should take heed of.” The battle between our


conscience and our desires seems set to continue, Mr Yerkess says. “We’re clearly married to


some of our vices more than others. In the end you can’t cut everything out, and bal­ ance is the answer, rather than lurching from one extreme fad to another. “But for the majority of


people, enjoying an indul­ gence every now and then will make no difference.” BUPA’s assistant medical


director. Dr Annabel Bentley, agrees that balance is the key to a healthy lifestyle. “Occasional indulgences -


with the exclusion of smok­ ing - probably won’t do too


much harm as long as they are offset by a generally healthy lifestyle which includes the basic necessities like a good diet and regular exercise. “If people want to give up


or cut down on their bad habits they should try to set themselves some realistic tar­ gets. “I t ’s unrealistic to expect


everyone to give up every­ thing.” Dr Bent ley says heavy


smokers and drinkers who want to cut down or give up should boost their chances of success by getting support from health professionals.


SMOKING H The survey found that


24% of smokers feel guilty about their habit and 19% would quit for just one extra


year of life. G Continued on next page
