A healthy mind is a healthy body

Nathan Rose will be guest speaker at the seminar.

Most education about human health has tended to focus on the body, but new and exciting information is hitting the airwaves concerning the connection between nutrition and psychological or mental health. Of course, the old saying ‘a healthy mind is a healthy body’ indicates that this knowledge is not so new!
We just seem to have lost it when we got so beguiled by the idea of a ‘quick fix’ using chemical drugs.
The third seminar in the series by the Border Landcare Organic Group (BLOG), of ‘Healthy Soil, Healthy Bodies and Healthy Minds, Putting It All Together’, will deal with the critical issue of mental health.
This is a stand-alone seminar and attendance at the previous two is by no means necessary.
This third seminar will deal with the issue of stress and consider some of the natural remedies and methods we can use to cope with this ‘plague of the 21st century’.
There are a host of more specific mental health issues that are now so prevalent, including depression, anxiety, autism, Asperger’s and ADHD, let alone psychosis and schizophrenia.
There is considerable evidence that natural remedies can assist in the treatment of addictions, including the ‘soft’ or ‘non-substance abuse’ ones such as social media dependency, shopping and gambling.
The presenter for this seminar, on the connection of nutrition to mental health on 20 May, is Nathan Rose.
He is the Technical Education Manager for Metagenics, a Brisbane-based firm which is a national leader in the research and development of natural medicine supplements for health practitioners.
Nathan has written extensively on this subject as well as presenting at conferences for health practitioners.
It will be a privilege for participants at this seminar to hear from someone so knowledgeable on this topic.
The seminar will take place at the Wallangarra Railway Cafe on Saturday 20 May, from 9am to 3.30pm.
The cost is $15 for BLOG members and $20 for non-members, which includes morning tea and lunch.
Don’t forget to call 02 6736 3500 by Thursday 18 May to reserve your place and for catering.
