A New View on Diet and the Heart - Real Talking by Prof Grant Schofield, AUT
NOT TO BE MISSED - a REAL CONVERSATION with the community and the average person wanting to learn more about heart disease and heart health management.
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, 3 Gibbons Rd, Takapuna (behind the Takapuna Library)
WHEN: 5th August, 10:15 - 11:30am
WHERE: Upstairs conference room

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
