A Celebration of Respiration…

Naturally Healthy

The purpose of our respiratory system is to supply oxygen to our bodies and expel carbon dioxide. We all understand that and we notice pretty quickly when it’s not going well – shortness of breath, struggling to exhale, coughing, tiredness, lack of sleep and/or continual waking are some of the symptoms.
To help slow down the lung aging process it’s important that we:
Breathe in clean air, indoor and outdoor - trying to reduce things like household cleaning chemicals and exposure to pollution
Exercise often to build the lungs and heart (which are muscles), even if it’s just gently – a walk or yoga is fantastic
Eat lung-healthy foods and beverages such as fresh fruit and vegetables and catechin rich green teas.

Poll: Do you go to live music gigs?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s “tough” running dive bars and speakeasies but a growing association is shaking up the New Zealand independent music scene.

These are the places where rising stars cut their teeth, members say, but they’re challenged by noise restrictions, alcohol licensing rules and the need to take on multiple tasks outside booking bands.

Do you go to live music gigs? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
