Healthy Aging: From the National Council of Churches

Chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s diseases are on the rise, and increasingly these conditions are linked to the way we live--including exposure to toxins in the environment and in products we use every day. Join us for a call on May 23rd at 1:00 p.m. to learn how to incorporate healthy diets and lifestyle choices such as exercise and toxic-free living into your spiritual practices to protect your body, future generations, and God’s Creation. Some studies show that making lifestyle changes at any age can slow or reverse some chronic diseases.

Join the National Council of Churches Environmental Health Initiative on May 23rd at 1pm (Central Standard Time) for a teleconference and webinar on Healthy Aging with Dr. Ted Schettler of the Science Environmental Health Network, Maria Valenti of the Collaborative on Health and Environment, and Chloe Schwabe, the NCC Environmental Health Program Manager. Whether you are 70 or seven, this teleconference can provide you opportunties to improve your health and care for the health of others in your life. Register for the call here.
