Move it or lose it: taking steps towards a healthier you
Over half the Australian population is not active enough to maintain their health. For some, physical activity is a natural extension to their lives, but for many Australians it remains a niggling nuisance to schedule in to an already overscheduled lifestyle. The truth is that even small changes can significantly lower risk of illness and help to improve many pre-existing health conditions – and it feels good and is a great stress reliever. Find out exactly how physical activity can help you look and feel better and read our top tips for getting active.

Today not everyone lives in a traditional family with two parents and 2.4 children. How do you shop and cook for one person one day and maybe four to six the next? You may live alone or with a partner, have a house full of kids or you may be a separated parent or have adult children who ‘revolve’ in and out of the house. Find out how to make meal preparation manageable by being a smart shopper and being ultra-organised.

Women and alcohol: to drink or not to drink
What’s the latest advice on alcohol? Due to their size, body type and the way in which their bodies process alcohol, women become affected by alcohol far quicker than men, and as a result, are more vulnerable to the effects of alcohol misuse. But, it’s not just young women who are indulging in more than the odd vino. Surprisingly, research shows that mid-age women tend to drink alcohol on more days of the week than younger women and even more surprisingly, mid-age women are less likely to reduce health-risking alcohol consumption than younger women.
