THE HADZA DIET
The latest addition to the ever-growing
interest in gut health hails from the hunter-
gatherer Hadza people of Tanzania. The
Hadza diet aims to diversify the good
bacteria we have in our gut. Essentially, our
digestive system is happier and immunity
is stronger when there are a variety of
bacteria present. Mimicking their diet
is perhaps too challenging, but similar
rewards could be obtained by increasing
our fibre intake, reducing the amount of
processed foods and be sure to always
have in-season fruits and vegies on hand.

WA L K I T OF F
Recent findings from the Australian Institute of Health
and Welfare show that nine in 10 Australians could
reduce their risk of heart disease simply by walking as
little as 15 minutes more each day. Not sure where to fit
that in? Consider taking the stairs instead of the lift or
parking the car a little farther away.

APPY
CSIRO research has revealed
that two-thirds of Australian
adults are not eating enough
vegies. If you fall into this
category, fear not, because
the CSIRO is determined to
inspire Australians to form
long-term, healthier habits
through their new VegEze app.
This app will track your intake,
with reminders and rewards
to help you stay motivated.

WHOLESOME HEMP
Since its recent legalisation in Australia, hemp
products are being touted as the next big thing
in wellness. Although, one of Australia’s largest
suppliers of hemp, Lariese Purely Hemp, gently
reminds us that hemp is actually a whole food,
containing healthy fats, protein, calcium and
vitamin E. Now that we have the thumbs up
from the government, head to lariesepurelyhemp.
