Programme

19 h. How to disconnect to connect with yourself. Strategies to improve your health and well-being..

In a fast-paced, stimulus-saturated world, learning to disconnect is key to improving our health and well-being. In this talk, we'll explore how reducing stress through conscious pauses, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques not only improves our mental health but also has a direct impact on our cardiovascular health. Reducing stress helps regulate blood pressure, reduce inflammation, and improve heart function, preventing diseases such as hypertension and heart problems. We'll learn practical strategies to balance our digital lives, manage emotions, and strengthen our connection with ourselves, thus promoting a state of holistic well-being.
