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

Poll: Do you think Auckland Council is doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste?
How do we Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle the hard stuff?
We’re talking tyres, paint, and agricultural chemicals — the items that aren’t always easy to dispose of.
Recently featured in The Post, this innovative business is showing how waste can be transformed into opportunity, turning what we throw away into products.
But this raises a bigger question: how do we get our waste to the right people — the ones doing the right things with it?
♻️ Do you think Auckland Council is doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste and get it back into the supply chain?
