When Bones Meet Time

Organised by Tzu Chi English Group Central 4

Join me to discover how to better understand and care for our bones as we journey through life.

  • Ageing: As time passes, bones naturally change.
  • The effects of time: Bone density and strength may gradually decline.
  • Prevention: What we do today influences our bone health tomorrow.
  • Aging well: Understanding our bones helps us stay active and independent.

Refreshments are served from 2:30pm to 3:00pm, so do come early, and please bring your own eating utensils.
