Reusable water bottles are great for staying hydrated on the go, but can harbour germs if they aren’t kept clean.
Remember to routinely empty and wash your reusable water bottles to prevent bacteria, and even fungi, growing inside the bottle.
Use hot water and a bottle brush then allow the bottle to air dry thoroughly before refilling, or put it in the dishwasher if the bottle is dishwasher safe.

Every 15 minutes, someone living in Australia experiences a cardiac arrest. That’s around 88 people every day.

By taking quick and informed bystander action, with the support of an automated external defibrillator (AED), you can help to save someone’s life.

AEDs are shockingly simple to use – even with no training. They are designed to be used by anyone, and will only deliver a shock if it is necessary. Just turn it on and follow the prompts.

Stress causes your nervous system to release hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, helping your body respond to challenging situations.
But, if you stay stressed, your nervous system does not reset. This can cause you to experience other unwanted symptoms.
These relaxation techniques can help you manage stress and improve your wellbeing.
There are many approaches to relaxation you can try when feeling stressed. The key is finding what works best for you.
If your stress levels are concerning you, speak to your doctor.

This just in: Q-Tips are plotting on your downfall.
Ear wax plays an important part in keeping your ears clean and healthy.
It usually comes out on its own and doesn't need treatment.
Using cotton tips in the ear can disrupt the self-cleaning process and cause ear wax build-up over time.
If you notice any build-up that's bothering you, ask your GP or pharmacist for advice.
