A New View of Diet and the Heart - Talk by Prof Grant Schofield, AUT
The question of what causes heart disease, especially atherosclerosis is one which scientists have been trying to answer for a long time. Recent advances in thinking and debunking of old science changes the way we think about this and therefore what to do about it.
For example, are fats (lipids) in the blood important? And how they get there in the first place. How does what we eat, exercise, and sleep affect us.
Be surprised, learn something new, and engage with Professor Grant Schofield in unconventional thinking about your health.
Grant's talk will be informative, exciting and in simple terms that a layperson can understand.
COMING NEXT THURSDAY to Mary Thomas Centre, Takapuna
WHEN: 5th August, 10:15 - 11:30am
WHERE: Upstairs conference room
