The "Lebensfreude" trade fair addresses topics that often determine our lives, including pain, waste avoidance, job opportunities for young people and hemp as a health product. On Friday, October 18 and Saturday, October 19, the fair will make a stop in Feldkirchen, where you can also try out the intoxication goggles.

"We inform you about healthy living and the latest health topics in a Carinthia-wide networked annual program. Carinthian and international medical professionals present the latest medical knowledge in lectures, seminars and trade fairs as part of large and small events," says the Carinthian Health Days Association, which has been touring Carinthian cities for years with the "Lebensfreude" health fair to promote greater health awareness and a better quality of life with a constantly changing program.

Two days for health

The "Lebensfreude" social and health days begin on Friday, October 18 in the Feldkirchen town hall: on Friday from 8.30 am to 7 pm and Saturday from 8.30 am to 12 noon, doctors and other experts will give talks on health topics, and practical and helpful items for everyday life will be on display.

Admission is free.

On Friday, October 18, and Saturday, October 19, the fair will make a stop at the Feldkirchen town hall. After the opening by Mayor Martin Treffner and Health Officer Andrea Pecile, the first lecture is already on the program: Horst Niederbichler from Abfallwirtschaft Kärnten talks about environmental protection, waste separation, waste avoidance, used batteries and electrical appliances to clear up misconceptions (9 am).

Financial health is the topic of debt counseling (10:30 a.m.), hemp as a health remedy is discussed at 2 p.m., and osteoarthritis at 5 p.m. 

The Public Employment Service shows young people a way out of school (on Friday at 9.45 a.m. in the lecture, on both days in the exhibition), which should be free of drugs with the help of the state's addiction prevention program (Friday, 11.15 a.m.).

Medicine from the kitchen
The last lecture in the packed program will be given by Primarius Georg Lexer on Saturday from 11.30 a.m., when the topic will be medicine from the kitchen.

The age simulation suit provides an exciting experience. On the health route, everyone can have values such as vein function, blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol and more measured. A distraction simulator and the ÖAMTC intoxication goggles provide an eye-opening experience.
