On Saturday 20th August we hosted a Health, Wellness and Healthy Eating Workshop at La Maison Cairn B&B in Glencairn.
Just as an aside, La Maison Cairn is a beautiful, 4 star B&B with the most magnificent views across what must be one of the most spectacular bays in the world, False Bay. Mr Weatherman certainly obliged us on the day with amazing weather – windless and buckets of sunshine!!! Have a look at La Maison Cairn if you are thinking of a visit to the Southern Peninsula area.
Ok, so now back to the point, and that’s not Cape Point!
My presentation on the day was titled, ‘How to beat accelerated aging and ill health’. Tall order you may think, but in reality there are numerous studies that highlight just how well the human body responds to simple interventions from the point of improving health and slowing down the aging process.
Well essentially stress is nothing until it results in the up regulation of certain hormones that we know only react, or are produced in response to stress. That means that there has to be a physiological reaction to some sort of stimulus (an initiating factor, either from outside the body, or from inside the body).
Eternal youth, the commodity sought after so intensely by so many; the commodity on which billions of dollars, pounds, rands are spent every year; the source of billions in income for companies specialising in anti aging, vitamin therapy, spa treatments and the list goes on and on.
