Complete Health Improvement Programme - A great success!

Who doesn't want to live longer with a better quality of life? Members from Lewisham church and their friends from the local community took the time to learn about just that at a recent program: CHIP - the Complete Health Improvement Program.

During the 5 week-long course the twenty attendees learned several important skills and took part in classes such as cooking, what to eat, exercise classes, shopping trips, how to read labels and more. They learned not only how to improve their eating and about an exercise regime but how to live practically day-to-day in a way that will help them to maintain their health over time.

In addition to the 5 friends from the local community one of the persons who attended was our very own Pastor Hart who detailed his amazing experience at the graduation ceremony. What he had found as he progressed through the course was that he was able to stop taking all eight of his prescribed medications, including blood pressure medication, after consultation with his doctor. He had been on some of those medications for the past 25 years! What an amazing success! Other attendees experienced similar but less drastic results and were happy to have taken part.
