🍭The holiday season often brings extra treats, and sugar can sneak into more of our food than we realise. The good news is that small changes, such as choosing whole foods like vegetables, fruit, dairy, nuts, and seeds while limiting sugary extras, can make a real difference.

📊 World Health Organisation recommends less than 50g of added sugar a day for adults, and for kids, it’s just 16g. A few mindful choices can help you stay on track without missing out.

💡This World Diabetes Day, we’re shining a light on the everyday challenges faced by millions of people managing diabetes in the workplace. With around 67 people developing diabetes per day in New Zealand, it’s time to rethink how we support wellbeing at work.

📌 The MMR vaccine is free in New Zealand for:
- Those under 18 years old
- Eligible adults over 18 for free healthcare
- And anyone advised by a Medical Officer of Health.

🌼 As spring holidays come to an end and the kids head back to school, it’s a good time to keep an eye out for school sores (impetigo)—a common skin infection that often starts as small blisters and spreads through breaks in the skin.

🎯A gentle, warm bath can help clean off scabs and crusts. Keep the area covered, and apply an over-the-counter antiseptic cream from your pharmacy. If things aren’t improving after a couple of days, it’s best to check in with your doctor.

💊 Thinking of buying medicines online? It’s important to understand the risks and to keep a few things in mind:

✅ Stick to registered New Zealand pharmacies. You can check if a pharmacy is legit using Medsafe’s Pharmacy Licence Register.
📄 Prescription medicines should always require a valid NZ prescription, no exceptions.
🚫 Ignore ads or posts claiming a medicine is “approved by Medsafe.” These are never genuine.
👩‍⚕️ When in doubt, talk to your pharmacist or healthcare provider before buying.
⚠️ Medsafe also lists high-risk medicines and current safety warnings.

Stay safe and informed. Learn more here: https://healthify.nz/medicines-a-z/m/medicines-buying-online
