Imagine my disbelief when I was invited as chief guest by Air India for their International Women’s Day celebration in March this year. Their aim was to inspire their female employees aged 50 and above and drive home the point that life need not come to an end once you become a senior citizen. It is possible to make a new beginning at any age.

The Scoop on Veggie Powders
DARK GREEN VEGETABLES are often considered to be the cream of the health-food crop because they're particularly rich in essential minerals such as iron, magnesium and calcium, plus vitamins C, K and a bunch of the Bs. New green powders promise all that nutritional goodness in one convenient scoop—just stir into a glass of water. These products, from Athletic Greens, Garden of Life, Vital Proteins and others, are made of dehydrated veggies such as spinach, beetroot and broccoli, plus spirulina, a type of algae full of nutrients.
