Event series “Healthy in Old Age” 2026
For the fifth time, the "Healthy in Old Age" series is being offered to senior citizens in Konz. From February to June, a total of four events will take place – this time focusing on gut health, dementia prevention, mindfulness, and exercise.
The event series is organized by the community nurse. Plus The Konz Care Support Center and the Konz-Karthaus Neighborhood Management Office are organizing the event. Cooperation partners include the County's Health Promotion and Prevention Office and the Trier Dementia Center. Participation in the events is free of charge, but prior registration is required. The series begins on February 24th with the workshop. "My Healthy Gut" .
What does gut health mean? What symptoms indicate an imbalance? How can digestion be actively supported through exercise and a balanced diet?
The gut plays a central role in our health, our immune system, and our overall well-being—yet we often pay too little attention to it. In this workshop, you will learn how you can benefit your gut through a conscious lifestyle.
Please wear comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear for the “moving contents”.
