The signature Rotana brand’s Bodylines Fitness Club and Zen the Spa at the UAE capital’s award-winning Beach Rotana resort has partnered with the region’s foremost online wellness, health, and beauty online resource Enritsch.com to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8th with a stand-out, mind-set changing event

The powerful partnership has resulted in an absorbing and engaging celebration which fully supports the UN-backed and international #BeBoldForAChange initiative.

“We will mark this singular day with an exclusive, informative, and inspiring programme designed to engage those keen to take up the 2017 International Women’s Day challenge,” said Mathieu van Alphen, General Manager of Beach Rotana.

Limited to just 50 lucky ladies, the complimentary March 8 programme will open with a thought-provoking presentation by pioneering Arab cardiac surgeon-turned-preventative evangelist Dr. Salah Zaki of Dubai’s International Medical Center (IMC).

Dr. Salah, a former heart-transplant surgeon, is now in high demand as an anti-aging expert in his ultra-modern Dubai clinic. Leaving behind a discipline which had seen him become the first president of the Institute of International Health at George Washington University Medical Center and medical director and advisor to some of the biggest organisations in the United States and the Middle East, Dr. Salah became fascinated with anti-aging and regenerative medicine.

“I suppose what appealed to me was that for so long I had been the last resort for people who were really terminally ill and I wanted to switch to the other end of the scale and be involved in helping people from the offset in living and aging with dignity through medicine,” he explained. And study and practice in integrated medicine – mixing natural approaches to preventative medicine with the latest techniques – became a passion. Qualifying in the States, Dr. Salah received his new certification from no less than the then-Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Today, from his Dubai clinic network and partnership with Enritsch.com, Dr. Salah, strives to help people “age with dignity.”

It’s become something of a mission for the man who is also CEO of Egypt’s LINC Biomedical Services and the Chief Medical Officer of Redwood Scientific, California.

“There are ways now where we can prevent wear and tear on the body and minimise the effects to preserve people’s capabilities as they age,” he says. And for Dr. Salah the anti-aging process can’t begin early enough. “I advise young people to start getting interested in the issue from the ages of 18-20.

What’s hot on the anti-aging agenda? Dr. Salah tips platelet rich replacement plasma – a mini stem-cell technique, which can assist with hair restoration among other things and radio frequency and ultra violet treatments to build and active reserves of collagen. Bio-identical hormone replacement and compound pharmacy treatments for both men and women are also a specialty, to ward off the ageing of memory, mood swings, energy levels and skin tones brought on by mid-life changes.

“We can’t entirely hold back the aging process,” says Dr. Salah. “But the way we live, the treatments we seek, can go a long way to prevent the many aging problems which were a norm in the past. We are all ageing – it’s just a matter of doing it with dignity and living a good life even into old age.”

At the Beach Rotana’s March 8 celebration Dr. Salah will engage with an audience question and answer session while light refreshments are served. The audience will then be invited to join in a variety of classes, including Mums dancing, Level Up training, spinning, and self-defense. The celebratory event will close with a prize draw when one lucky lady will scoop an amazing International Womens’ Day prize package worth over AED 5,000 including AED 2,000 worth of Anti-Aging services from IMC, two nights’ accommodation at the Beach Rotana and a chauffeur service between Dubai and Abu Dhabi if required.

The event is open to the public, but pre-registration is required as attendance is limited to just 50 lucky ladies. Please call 02 697 9302 to enroll.
