Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of premature death in Australia; its health and economic burden exceeding any other disease. This seminar focusses on cardiovascular health and diabetes by detailing preventable risk factors, including smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, insufficient physical activity, obesity and poor nutrition. We explore how preventative measures can have benefits that go beyond cardiovascular health. The seminar investigates differences in risks between gender and age, while providing information on appropriate medical screenings. The presentation is run by our experienced CHG Health Promotion Consultants, specifically designed to be interactive and practical.

The main aims of this workshop are to:

• Provide practical lifestyle tips
• Provide the latest information and recommendations
• Assist participants in implementing knowledge they currently have in practical ways
