Preventing The Preventable & Delaying The Inevitable - A Talk For Ladies Only Given today's demands, some of us are ageing faster than we know it. Our biological age can be older than our chronological age but we do not even realise it. Have you ever wondered why you feel tired, have problems sleeping, have accumulated body fat that will not go away even with exercise, experience memory lapse, feel less energetic, anxious, irritable or depressed, lose our hair, have aches and pains, have a lower sex drive and increasingly drier and more wrinkled skin?

Yes, these are all the signs and symptoms of ageing, but if you are ^ily in your forties and display these signs and symptoms, you could fact, be ageing prematurely.

We have arranged a special talk for the ladies by Dr Chew Khek Kah. Dr Chew is a 1986 graduate of NUS. After a successful career as

f I

Medical Director of his own corporate medical practice, he set up and ran one of the first full-fledged anti-ageing clinics in Singapore, with a US-based anti-ageing clinic as a major partner.

Dr Chew will talk about the ageing process and how you can better

manage it. He will focus on problems and issues specific to women and ageing, while at the same time answer ail your queries and debunk any myths about the different anti-ageing therapies. Join us and be informed so that you can truly prevent the preventable and delay the
