IN THIS ISSUE
welcome
I’ve always loved the idea of a fresh start — the first day of the week, the start of a new season … it’s a chance to turn over a new leaf. As a kid, I would count down the days until the summer holidays, and then, once the hot weather arrived, I’d long for cosy winter mornings. Oh, and you bet, I've already got my hands on a 2020 diary! You might notice this month Healthy Food Guide has had a little ‘refresh’ of its own! Our amazing team has been working hard to breathe new life into every page, without dramatically changing the magazine you know and love. We hope you like the change as much as we do! And what a jam-packed issue we have for you! Let’s kick…

your say
LETTER OF THE MONTH Your April 2019 cover story ‘Cure constipation’ caught my eye. As a proud male too fearful to front up to the GP, I thought this was the answer to my prayers, and I was not disappointed. Your article helped me address a long-standing issue, and encouraged me to get to the GP, where I used the article to open a long overdue discussion.
