As part of the ongoing CHIP (Coronary Health Improvement Project) programme in Wales, we were delighted to have Dr Hans Diehl to be our guest for a special breakfast this morning. It was a real priviledge to have him with us, and have a one to one conversation with the pioneer of this health project which is being run throughout the world.
Following a typically special big CHIP breakfast, Dr Diehl gave us a short talk about the differnce CHIP has made to thousands of peoples lives. He also mentioned about how, as participants and we need to be more gentle when we try and approach people about following such a healthy lifestyle. Only through love and care will people want to know more about leading a simple lifestyle, and hopefully then they'd want to try it for themselves. He then asked for the particpants feedback, based on their experiences and the progress they made during the month project and after. For example many spoke of losing weight and reduceing cholesterol levels. One particapnt mentioned that through simple drinking lots of water his eyesight improved. Now he doesn't need glasses for driving!Tonight, Dr Diehl will be in Cardiff for another talk as part of his continuing tour of the UK. We hope that the CHIP prorgramme will continue to help many people in Wales. Another course is being planned for next year. For more info check the Swansea CHIP website.

Hi Lily, thanks for the quick article. It was great to be there today and see Dr Diehl in person. After all the video lectures we've seen, it felt meeting an old friend.
I'm really looking forward to running the next project where hopefully we can get many more people.
