Partners Life is sponsoring the travelling exhibition Body Worlds Vital when it arrives in Auckland in April.
The exhibition offers an eye-opening look at human anatomy, to see up close how lifestyles truly affect our bodies.
Partners managing director Naomi Ballantyne says it showcases the magnificence and fragility of the human body.
“As a risk insurance company we cover people for every kind of health event that interrupts their lifestyle – whether accident, injury or illness and whether the interruption is temporary or permanent, in that they do not resume life as they lived it before.
“We were quite stunned to learn how much this exhibition affects and influences those who experience it. The display explores how everything a person does – how they eat, whether they exercise, if they smoke or drink – affects their body. Two-thirds of visitors to the exhibition overseas have walked away and made positive changes to their health and wellbeing, and our hope is that we will see similar statistics in New Zealand.
“We sponsored this exhibition as a way of putting health and wellbeing front-of- mind for people, and to remind everyone that life interruption is something that can be planned for. You may not be able to prevent the interruption, but you can plan to ride it out financially so money can be taken off the worry list.”
