ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.

Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.

Such is the power of this perennial wild plant that in some cultures it has been included in important life events in the form of rituals involving cleansing, purifying and beautifying the body.

The healing benefits of turmeric are many and include:

Anti-inflammatory - Turmeric has long been known to reduce inflammation in our bodies. It is particularly useful in cases of arthritis.

Antioxidant - It's a great antioxidant and helps fight cellular oxidisation and the development of free radicals.

How does it work?
Turmeric contains the chemical called curcumin. Curcumin and other chemicals found in turmeric might help to decrease the swelling or inflammation. Because of this, turmeric might be beneficial for treating conditions that involve inflammation.
