๐ GET GUT READY FOR CHRISTMAS ๐
After another challenging year for many of us, letโs make a pact to have some good, olโ fashioned fun this Christmas time. Agreed? We know itโs still a way off, but โtis the season to get your gut primed. Good gut health takes time. No quick fixes with your gut or your overall health.
Weโll explore the many aspects of good gut health in upcoming blogs, starting at the start - getting rid of the waste in our digestive system.
In our upcoming November blogs weโll explore more of the nutritional tips and tricks to get our guts clean. In December, weโll move onto ways to get your gut environment flourishing for the festivities. Bring it on!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldnโt be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
