21 October Xtraordinary Women: Southern Suburbs Networking Event

THIS IS A MIXED NETWORK. BOTH BUSINESSWOMEN AND MEN ARE WELCOME.

"Take control of your precious health"

Knowledge is the tool with which to control ones business and so too ones health. Within all

sectors of society there is a huge need for insight and understanding into all health related matters,

which would ultimately result in lifestyle changes that are truly sustainable. By investing in your

personal wellness, you are taking out a policy on "living" with improved health and quality of life for

the years ahead.


The hand of genes one was dealt with when conceived in your mother, plays a definite role

in health, but ones overall lifestyle, from birth onwards, has an even more profound effect on health

and longevity. All such lifestyle factors will be fully explored, which will include ways in which to

keep our immune system functioning in optimal mode, and how to tame our stress levels.
