Morningside Salon – Your Favorite Foods Are Destroying Your Health!
(with Mr. Miles Price)

Thurs, Mar 18

CUAAHK would like to cordially invite you to our next Morningside Salon discussion with Mr. Miles Price, practitioner of Functional Medicine & Clinical Nutritionist at LifeClinic, a HK-based private health company focused on providing integrative personalized solutions for holistically optimizing health, primarily through disease prevention, as well as diagnosis and treatment for the root causes of a wide range of chronic diseases.

We are living in health paradox - despite access to the so-called “best” healthcare practices, auto-immune, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease have grown to become chronic and pervasive killers. Profit-related goals of food providers often conflict with the health goals of the consumer, with highly-processed toxic food products frequently appearing in food chains and restaurants.  Functional medicine reveals that there's a strong connection between lifestyle and disease risk - food is actually “medicine”!

A new paradigm shift is necessary to restore health – to empower ourselves with the knowledge of exactly what we are consuming.  Find out which foods have the biggest impact on our health -explore the key components of the HK diet which are detrimental to your health, such as excessive carbs and toxic oils, and which substitutes can restore health.

*In this series of Health and Wellness topics,

Part One was “The Big Fat Lie: the cholesterol myth, and dietary fats”

Future topics may include:

- Essential Nutrients and Supplements - healthy dietary fats, proteins, and vegetables

- Annual Physicals – blood and diagnostic tests which really matter

- Developing a Healthy Immune System – mitigating infections, both bacterial and viral
