A New View of Diet and the Heart - Talk by Prof Grant Schofield, AUT

Trent Lash from

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

Professor Grant Schofield, PhD, Professor of Public Health, Director Human Potential AUT Millennium Centre, is an ex NZ representative sportsperson with a doctorate in Psychology and a passion for Public Health. Grant leads Masters and Doctoral research programmes on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and other metabolic disorders. He is particularly interested in the impact of nutrition and exercise on cardiovascular disease.

Builder: Small - Medium Jobs

Bruce from Whole 9 Yards

During this past month I have performed many repairs, small building and upgrading jobs in several homes on the North Shore, my area work base. I’m a Sole Charge operation, all discussion and quoting, project management and product purchase, then doing the work myself.
I have a fellow builder mate to help on some of my jobs, between us we have at least 90 years experience, not bad for 2 guys. I’ve been swinging a hammer for over 5o years and Mike 40 years.
I specialise in small jobs, all those little things that should be adjusted, repaired or replaced and you keep putting off, simply because you don’t know how or where to get your maintenance brought up to scratch.


Please realise it’s a way more cost effective to keep up to date with your maintenance than leave it and find that the original problem has now helped wear out something else. Now you have more than one piece to be fixed and subsequently, you guessed it, the job will cost more.
I don’t charge for my first visit, yes, Free. We can discuss your maintenance job be it big or small.
Feel free to contact me.

Thanks to Google my website is broken.

The 1st Photo is from the outside in. There used to be a flower box and wall here. This now gives direct access to the garage, saving opening the roller door a couple of times a day to go to the laundry.
