How Not to Die Film Screening – Columbus, MS
11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Please join us for the Change Your Mind Change What Matters Lunch & Learn Movie Series. Relax and leave lunch to us, as we uncover secrets that will help you take one of the most powerful steps you can take to improve your health, boost energy levels, and help prevent chronic diseases: transitioning to a plant-based diet. This dynamic movie series will answer your questions, provide helpful advice, and share the techniques you need. And the best part is that we can do it together. You won't have to do it alone. In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-recognized lecturer, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the fifteen top causes of death in America — heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, high blood pressure, and more — and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives.
