Secrets of Living Longer Healthier Lives

Health Lecture Report

 
About 80 people enjoyed a free health lecture at the Thornleigh Seventh-day Adventist Church on Saturday September 19. 

Angela Saunders (dietitian/nutritionist) shared her 30+ years' experience, gained with the Sydney Adventist Hospital and Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing. Those present heard well-researched tips on healthy eating.

Angela shared dietary secrets of the world's longest lived and healthiest communities. She provided practical tips on how lifestyle factors - especially eating well - can improve your health, and reduce your risk of chronic disease.

Angela has published several scientific articles on the health benefits of a plant-based diet, and has helped produce several vegetarian cookbooks. All attendees received a free cookbook Food for Health and Happiness that includes "easy to make" delicious and nutritious recipes.  Many took a second copy to share with their family or friends!
