Ainsley Harriott
I've always been a bit of an entertainer and played the funny man. I was a part-time comedian for years, so I
learned how to stand in front of audiences. It made me sure of myself. I like being liked and I love making
everyone smile.
I've lived in London all my life and have just moved to a larger house with my wife Clare and our two
children, Jimmy and Madeleine. We spend a lot of time just singing and dancing around the house. I grew up
with music because my dad is the pianist, Chester Harriott - who's still playing, by the way. My working day is
divided between television and writing cook books, though TV takes most of my time. I spend about five days
a fortnight working on the cooking programmes I appear in. I eat all sorts of things at home but I only buy
quality food. When I'm cooking, I experiment with whatever is in the fridge -- it's good practice for my TV
series.

I'm a football fan and enjoy going to matches, but I'm a home-loving person really. I don't like going to the
pub but we do go out to eat about twice a month. There's nothing better than a night at home playing with the
children. I rarely go to bed before midnight. Late evening is when fresh thoughts on cooking usually come to
me, so I often write or plan my programmes then. When I eventually get to bed, I have no trouble sleeping.

CHOCOLATE INCREASES SURVIVAL RATES
AFTER HEART ATTACK
Scientists followed 1,169 nondiabetic men and women who had been hospitalized for a first heart attack. The
patients had a health examination three months after their discharge from the hospital, and researchers
followed them for the next eight years. After controlling for age, sex, obesity, physical inactivity, smoking,
education and other factors, they found that the more chocolate people consumed, the more likely they were
to survive.
While the chocolate eaters in the study had a statistically insignificant reduction in the risk of death from any
cause over the eight-year span, the reduced risk for dying of heart disease was highly significant. And it was
dose-dependent that is, the more chocolate consumed, the lower the risk for death.
Compared with people who ate none, those who had chocolate less than once a month had a 27 percent
reduction in their risk for cardiac death, those who ate it up to once a week had a 44 percent reduction and
those who indulged twice or more a week had a 66 percent reduced risk of dying from a subsequent heart
event. The beneficial effect remained after controlling for intake of other kinds of sweets.
The co-author of the paper, Dr. Mukamal, said that data from other studies suggests that chocolate lowers
blood pressure and this might be a cause of the lower cardiac mortality found in the study.
Adapted from http://www.nytimes.com, September, 2009.
