Tackling heart disease one step at time

Radical change requires revolutionary thinking. How about a health break for everyone during work hours to help you get fit, healthy and live a prosperous life?


Creating a Health Break | Faraz Pathan | TEDxKatoomba

Our very own cardiologist, Dr Faraz Pathan presented this idea at TEDx Talks in Katoomba, exploring the results of his research trial run at Nepean Hospital.

The results…astounding.

In just 3 short months staff participating in the trial doing short and simple exercises at work had improved their weight, muscle mass and capacity to exercise. Importantly staff in the trial also showed an improvement in psychological wellbeing.

Inspiring results and a great presentation, Faraz. One small step for a cardiologist, hopefully soon to be a giant leap in everyone’s health.
