Exposing the secrets of modern food

Here is the trailer for the Oscar nominated documentary 'Food Inc.' that highlights how most of our food reaches our tables. Through CHIP we try to educate participants on the health risks associated with processed food. This movie goes into much greater detail on food manufacture but the simple benefits of eating freshly grown food is a core part of CHIP's 30 day programme.

The documentary is on limited release in the UK, check for screenings in your area through their website http://www.foodincmovie.co.uk/ Sadly only Chapter Cinema, Cardiff is showing the movie in South Wales.

This is a wonderful example. It's amazing the difference that can be made in only a month through simple lifestyle change. With the CHIP programme you too can improve your health.

Dr Hans Diehl in Swansea!

As part of the ongoing CHIP (Coronary Health Improvement Project) programme in Wales, we were delighted to have Dr Hans Diehl to be our guest for a special breakfast this morning. It was a real priviledge to have him with us, and have a one to one conversation with the pioneer of this health project which is being run throughout the world.

Following a typically special big CHIP breakfast, Dr Diehl gave us a short talk about the difference CHIP has made to thousands of peoples lives. He also mentioned about how, as participants and we need to be more gentle when we try and approach people about following such a healthy lifestyle. Only through love and care will people want to know more about leading a simple lifestyle, and hopefully then they'd want to try it for themselves. He then asked for the participants feedback, based on their experiences and the progress they made during the month project and after. For example many spoke of losing weight and reduceing cholesterol levels. One participant mentioned that through simple drinking lots of water his eyesight improved. Now he doesn't need glasses for driving!

Tonight, Dr Diehl will be in Cardiff for another talk as part of his continuing tour of the UK. We hope that the CHIP prorgramme will continue to help many people in Wales. Another course is being planned for next year.
