sometimes the hero stumbles and falls right off of the page sometimes the princess rolls her eyes and says “i don't want to be saved” sometimes the dragon needs rescuing and the villain aches to be helped sometimes, in the darkness the lost boy finds himself sometimes the prince is cunning and not at all what he seemed sometimes the witch's kindness shows it's she who deserves to be queen sometimes we shouldn't define people by someone else's point of view just because it's what we've been told doesnt make it true SRWPOETRY…

It has just been so wonderful over the last couple of months to finally attend a few events. There is nothing like being face-to-face with people. And I find when I am attending industry events, when you are talking with someone who is also passionate about helping others and living a healthy lifestyle, it's like you are family. This is how I felt when I attended the Medical Cannabis Summit, the Naturally Good Expo, and the Mind, Body, Spirit festival earlier this year. It is just so heartening to see the many businesses that are operating in the natural health/wellness space – and to not just see them online. There are a few articles in this issue that refer to technology in the health space, and reveal some of the statistics…

The Connecting Communities to Care project aims to design a community-based social connection model of care targeting isolated older people with chronic conditions living in the South East Melbourne Primary Health Network area. The four-year pilot is being delivered in collaboration with Alfred Health, South East Melbourne PHN and the Australian Disease Management Association. It will leverage a combination of screening, engagement, community based activities and social prescribing. Bolton Clarke Research Institute Senior Research Fellow Dr Rajna Ogrin said the idea originated when her colleague Judy Lowthian came across a Health Connections program being run in the U.K. “We've been doing quite a lot of work in the area of trying to connect people in the community and realised social aspects are pivotal to optimising wellbeing. Judy was looking to see…

Researchers asked 1,423 American adults to rate how likely they were to forgive themselves for the things they did wrong and forgive others for hurting them. The participants also answered survey questions about how they had slept in the past 30 days, how they would rate their health at the moment, and how satisfied they were with their life. The results suggested that people who were more forgiving were more likely to sleep better and for longer, and in turn have better physical health. They were also more satisfied with life. This was true of people who were more forgiving of others, and people who were more forgiving of themselves - although forgiving others had a stronger relationship with better sleep. Forgiveness of self and others “may help individuals leave the…

Rather, energy specialist Ari Whitten, author of Eat for Energy, suggests some pro-active (and unexpected) measures. 1. Saunas “The research on sauna use is just mind-blowing,” says Whitten. For example, one study shows that participants who stayed in a 140-degree Fahrenheit sauna for 15 minutes, five times a week, reported significantly increased energy levels, as well as a calmer, more positive mood. And on a broader scale, research has shown that sauna bathing 4-7 times per week enhanced longevity by 40%. “It's very powerful stuff,” Whitten declares. “I'm a huge fan of sauna use.” Of course, you only spend as much time in the sauna as you can tolerate, whether that's 15 minutes or 40 minutes. Know your limits. 2. Exercise When it comes to energy levels, mitochondrial health is paramount. Your mitochondria are…
