How to live like a queen – Her Majesty’s daily routine to live to 96

Published

What can we learn about living From Britain’s longest-reigning monarch?

Despite living a life of luxury, The Queen preferred a modest and structured approach when it came to her wellbeing.

The Queen did not bother with intense workouts.

She preferred “sensible exercise” like walking her corgis and riding horses, according to the author of “Long Live the Queen!”

When it came to walks, they were not a stroll in the park.

In a speech given when the Queen and Prince Philip visited the U.S. in 1991, then-president GeorgeBush complimented her on her long walks that “left even the Secret Service panting.”

Biographer Sally Bedell Smith once said Elizabeth’s endurance is “striking.”

After a long day of tightly packed events, the tour organizer recounts the moment her Canadian tour guide suddenly realised he had not given the queen one moment’s break, not even to use the loo.

“You need not worry,” said her private secretary. “Her Majesty is trained for eight hours.”

She was fit – but has never lifted a dumbbell, hopped on an elliptical, tracked her heart rate, or done anything resembling a squat, lunge, crunch, press, or curl in a gym environment.

Instead, she preferred a calm walk instead.

She enjoyed time in nature and exploring the Scottish countryside, where she spent her final moments in Balmoral.

The Queen also enjoyed simple meals with a bit of chocolate and gin, never smoked and got good sleep.

So eating a balanced diet, walking, and maintaining a healthy weight — as the Queen did — are key to having a long and healthy life.

In Short:
– Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, risking global tensions and retaliation from other nations.
– Proliferation concerns are rising as nuclear states modernise arsenals and the New START Treaty nears expiration.
US President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing immediately, aiming to align with testing programs from other countries according to the conversation.Resuming explosive nuclear tests would likely trigger retaliatory responses from nuclear-armed nations like Russia and China, worsening the arms race and increasing global risks.

The potential for worldwide radioactive fallout remains high, even for underground tests. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed by 187 states, prohibits such testing, yet the US remains a signatory without ratification, bound not to violate the treaty’s intent.

Nuclear weapon testing, once crucial for understanding weapon effects and military planning, has diminished. Since World War II, nuclear tests have largely focused on developing new designs. Significant environmental and health concerns led to a moratorium on atmospheric testing in the early 1960s and the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963.

Many countries, including the US, stopped explosive testing in the 1990s. Technological advancements allowed nations to develop nuclear weapons without the need for actual explosions.

Proliferation Risks

Nuclear proliferation continues, with all nine nuclear-armed states investing heavily in modernising their arsenals. This raises concerns about lowered thresholds for using such weapons.

Recent conflicts involving nuclear threats have escalated, and the number of nuclear weapons operationally available has begun to rise again. Russia has tested advanced nuclear weapons, while China is rapidly expanding its military capabilities.

The New START Treaty, which confines the nuclear capabilities of the US and Russia, is set to expire soon, with no successor treaty negotiations underway.

The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight this year, highlighting the heightened dangers facing the world today.
