At our first health seminar on September 14, 2025, the speaker outlined the huge burden of Chronic diseases, which is mostly self created. While there is no cure for chronic disease, it can still be prevented.
The speaker explained that maintenance of our metabolic and vascular health is fundamental for prevention of chronic disease. This can be disturbed by many factors; most important being the food we eat and the sedentary habits. The next seminar is on that topic.
