DON’T BE A ROTTEN APPLE 🍏

Wendy from My Wellness Niche

Take a fresh apple and cut it in half, it starts to go brown until it rots.

Take a whole Apple and leave in out in the environment - it starts to rot.

Expose us to the elements of every day living AND WE TOO SUFFER FROM OXIDATIVE STRESS....

Take a whole Apple and leave in out in the environment - it starts to rot.

Expose us to the elements of every day living AND WE TOO SUFFER FROM OXIDATIVE STRESS....

Oxidative Stress is the cellular damage caused by an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body. We all have it!
BUT left unchecked, it accelerates the ageing process, and can cause inflammation, illness and disease.

When we reduce Oxidative Stress we then can function at a higher level and improve wellness. Being able to make our own Antioxidants is the key to helping our body deal with Free Radicals and Oxidative Stress overload.

NZ Gardener's new issue is out now

Lynda Hallinan reflects on 60 lessons for gardeners from the lockdown (with plenty of idea on what you can sow and grow in May); there's a bumper gardening quiz; we suggest five herbs to reduce anxiety and promote calmness; and visit a Taupo sanctuary full of art and alive with native birds and a wild and wonderful garden in Glenorchy. And since we've been gardening in isolation, Jack Hobbs talks to gardeners on the Chatham Islands about how they keep things growing, 650km from the nearest garden centre. Normally our subscribers get their copy before it goes on sale, of course, but things aren't quite normal right now so if your copy hasn't arrived yet, it should be with you very soon! We are so pleased to have a new issue of your favourite magazine for you, and I cannot wait to hear what you think. NZ Gardener has been informing and inspiring New Zealand gardeners for more than 75 years and we're incredibly grateful to our readers, especially our subscribers, because we couldn't do it without you. And by the way subscribing is easy and a much cheaper way to get your magazine each month! And would an NZ Gardener sub make a great Mother's Day gift this Sunday, you ask? I think we all know the answer to that! Jo
