Bente Klarlund Pedersen, chief physician at Rigshospitalet and professor at the University of Copenhagen, brings her research on healthy ageing to Nørrebro Teater. The evening goes beyond the familiar advice on diet, exercise and not smoking, and looks at what else contributes to a long, healthy life, such as optimism, rest, a sense of meaning, friendships and volunteering.
Bente Klarlund Pedersen is also the author of the book Yngre med årene, published in 2020. Her message is that science, not expensive supplements or anti-ageing products, should guide us towards living well for longer. The evening is billed as both entertaining and thought-provoking, and is aimed at anyone curious about what they can do themselves to feel younger as the years go by.
