SANTA BARBARA NUTRITIONIST TO SPEAK
ON LONGEVITY AND ANTI-AGING

Patricia Bragg with Dr.John Westerdahl
Santa Barbara, CA– Nov. 2, 2010 — John Westerdahl, PhD, RD, longevity and nutrition expert and the director of Santa Barbara’s Bragg Health Institute, will be presenting a free seminar, Friday evening, 7:00 PM at the Santa Barbara Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 425 Arroyo Road, Santa Barbara.
Dr. Westerdahl, who is Board Certified as an Anti-Aging Health Practitioner through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, will be discussing the latest information on how nutrition and lifestyle can contribute to health and longevity. Westerdahl will show pictures of healthy people who live in various “cultures of longevity” throughout the world, who live up to 120 years of age. “It is possible, that a healthy diet and lifestyle can be the key major factor to help people live to be over a hundred years of age and die of “old age” instead of disease,” states Westerdahl. “Certain types of diets and foods contribute to longevity and actually have anti-aging attributes,” he adds. Westerdahl will discuss several of the foods that scientific research indicates can contribute to anti-aging.
The free seminar will be appropriately held at the Santa Barbara Seventh-Day Adventist Church, as years of epidemiological studies and a cover story article that appeared in National Geographic Magazine as well as a special segment on The Oprah Winfrey Show a few years ago, have identified the Seventh-Day Adventist population as one of the healthiest and longest living populations in the United States. The seminar is the opening presentation of a free community conference and workshop called, “Living Well & Dying Well.”

It was also surprising that, for each of the food groups, a significant number of people reported not consuming any of that food group on the day prior to the survey.
