學員分享:

「我參加了御糖有術的春季班，開始學習進行 MEDS生活型態的改變：飲食上更注重健康合理的比例，把蔬菜在每餐的比例從三分之一增加到了二分之一；增加了運動頻率，達到了每天都做運動，且每週運動總時長超過150分鐘；同時，開始改善睡眠質量，增加了睡眠時間，現在每晚可睡七至八小時。四個月下來，糖化血色素 (A1c) 也從 6.4 下降到 5.6。謝謝CHI對社區提供的服務和教學，幫助了許多長年糖尿病的患者。心中感激不盡。」 - Pat Lin, Cupertino

Testimonials:

"I participated in the spring session of DPS and began implementing MEDS lifestyle changes. I focused on a healthier and more balanced diet, increasing the proportion of vegetables in each meal from one-third to one-half. I also increased the frequency of exercise, working out daily, totaling more than 150 minutes per week. I also improved my sleep quality, extending sleep time from seven to eight hours per night. After four months, my A1c level dropped from 6.4 to 5.6. Thanks to CHI for providing these services and education to the community, helping many with diabetes for a long time. I am deeply grateful." – Pat Lin in Cupertino

American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson first coined the phrase in 1860 that we often hear and may even personally use, “Health is Wealth”. While we spend considerable time strategizing on, developing, and executing our estate or financial investment plans, we often omit consideration for health in those strategies. The good news is that there are considerable gains to derive by investing in health even if you start late. Remarkably, you can use the age-old strategies investment experts apply to manage wealth, to manage your health portfolio as well.

Join this workshop to learn how to apply proven wealth investment strategies to better manage your health. Use low-risk, high return on investment proven techniques to prevent disease, enhance wellness, and improve longevity.
