DESCRIPTION
Healthy Entrepreneur, Healthy Business As a solo entrepreneur, if you are not healthy and you are constantly sick, your business can’t grow. If you are not working, neither is your business. If you are unable to work, your business stands still and you could lose valuable business and clients. It is imperative that you stay healthy. In spite of the amazing advances in medical technology the world, and that means you and I, are getting sicker. Heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity and the neuro-degenerative disease are on the increase. Billions of rands are being spent annually on treating the effects of bad lifestyle choices. In this ‘in your face, no holes barred presentation’ Dr Kevin Lentin will show us the 4 factors that are the culprits of this health scourge and also show you what you can do to avoid becoming a health statistic. About our Guest Speakers: Dr Kevin Lentin, Chiropractor and Integrated Medicine Fundi B.Soc. Sc. (Natal), D.C. (USA), Dip. Appl. Clin. Nut. (Aust.), Emergency Care Practitioner (EMS College, Cape Town) Dr Lentin graduated from the University of Natal in 1976 with a Bachelor of Social Science Degree, majoring in psychology. After spending six years working in the retail world he decided to follow his true passion, that being natural health care, and moved to the United States to study Chiropractic, graduating from Life Chiropractic College, Cum Laude, in 1984. In 1985 he opened his practice in Cape Town and in 1991 co-founded the first truly multidisciplinary health centre in South Africa.

The Reality....
• Heart Disease In S. Africa
• More than half the deaths caused by chronic diseases, including heart disease, occur before the age of 65 years. These are premature deaths which affect the workforce and have a major impact on the economy of the country (Notes 1.2, 1.3)
• Premature deaths caused by heart and blood vessel diseases (CVD) in people of working age (35-64 years) are expected to increase by 41% between 2000 and 2030. The negative economic impact of this will be enormous (Note 1.4). 1.1

There's no doubt that some genes do lead inevitably to disease. "But for most people, a healthy lifestyle trumps inherited risk," says cardiologist Donald Lloyd-Jones, MD, Chair of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine "Even if a disease runs in your family, there's a lot you can do to avoid it."
