Une cité cardio-protectrice

Musée de la santé Armand-Frappier

Description

How does our environment affect our heart health? How do the pressures of climate change on our lives and those of the environment on our health fit together? Dr. Reeves outlines the major environmental vectors that can affect our hearts and brains for good or ill, and sets out the objectives of a cardio-protective environment in a low-carbon society.

To complement the conference, the Museum is offering a tour of its two exhibitions on human health. On the program: the discovery of concrete actions that everyone can take to maintain their own health, that of others and that of the planet, and the delicious pleasure of learning more about our diet.
