Misty Hills Hotel hosts Positive Ageing Edutalks & Expo

Designed specifically with men and women aged 40 and over in mind, the Positive Ageing Edutalks & Expo is geared firmly towards providing access to professional advice on positive ageing.

"The time has come for all of us aged over 40 to seriously start looking after our health if we plan to enjoy our golden years. The problem is that we're constantly bombarded with information and don't know what is the correct advice to follow. The costs of consulting a specialist privately can be prohibitive, so we've brought these experts - the best in their respective fields - together, in one place, where delegates can have all their health questions answered, at a fraction of the cost of individual consultations, to make informed health decisions," explain Jenny Rose and LaRaine Hyslop, event organisers from The Balance of Work 2 Play.

Enjoy an invigorating weekend with spa treatment

"The idea is that delegates take a break from their busy lives and spend one, two or even three full days with us exploring the latest thoughts on what constitutes a positive ageing process. As the event is being held at an eco-country lodge, delegates can enjoy an invigorating and highly informative weekend away, complete with access to relaxing spa treatments, different therapy sessions and of course, talks by our experts. In this way, delegates will save themselves both time and money in accessing this wealth of information," Rose adds.

Enjoy a line-up of 30 top notch speakers including nutritionist and author Patrick Holford, who will be sharing his 10 Secrets of Healthy Ageing. Also on the bill will be at least 12 doctors of medicine, psychology and natural medicine who will discuss everything from laser eye, face and body surgery to treating hair loss, hormonal imbalances, sleep disorders, dental problems and other side effects of ageing.

Ticket prices for the edutalks range from R100 to R350 per person. Each talk is costed separately and, as there are limited seats available, pre-booking is essential. A standard entrance fee of R95 will be charged per person. Weekend packages that include discounted accommodation rates at Misty Hills Hotel are also available. Depending on your particular interests, you can choose to attend one or all speaker workshops, or different combinations thereof.
