How to Beat... Ageing
Kate Quilton and Dr Javid Abdelmoneim explore small changes people can make to take care of their mental and physical health, beginning with methods of lowering the biological age. They recruit eight volunteers to take part in an experiment to see if simple lifestyle changes, such as walking quicker and getting a good night's sleep, can really turn back the clock. Kate also visits the English National Ballet to see how dance can benefit people with Parkinson's disease and Sam Renke explores how the fitness industry treats people with disabilities.

Kate Quilton and Dr Javid Abdelmoneim continue their health check of the UK, enlisting 10 stressed-out volunteers, ranging from a firefighter and a paramedic to a chef, to find out if simple lifestyle changes can alleviate stress. Is it as simple as cutting back alcohol and caffeine, while taking up hobbies and practising mindfulness meditation? Kate also visits Lego, a company leading the way on employee wellbeing, Javid shows how spending time in green spaces can reduce stress levels, and there's a look at pioneering treatment for people with phobias.
