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!

At the conclusion of the lecture, Angela gave a cooking demo - and showed us all how to cook the dish in the above picture!  This dish was then included with a number of other previously prepared dishes, for all attendees to taste-test.  While there was no shortage of food, most of it was enthusiastically sampled and eaten!

Those who attended received the following free items:

• A cookbook Food for Health and Happiness, published by Sanitarium.  For more recipes, see their website at http://www.sanitarium.com.au/recipes
   
• An edition of the Signs of the Times magazine (August 2015), with article Vegetarian Essentials.  See online here: https://www.hopechannel.com/au/read/vegetarian-essentials
   
• A copy of the Medical Journal of Australia (4 June 2012, Volume 1, Supplement 2), with Angela Saunders as the Coordinating Editor.  This supplement has been provided to every GP in Australia.  An online version can be found at https://www.mja.com.au/open/2012/1/2
