Use it or one day you'll lose it!

🤸‍♀️ Its easy to take things for granted.

🤸‍♀️ Let's take waking up in your bed and standing up for instance. Balancing upright, on two feet, without falling over.

For some this is a miracle.

🤸‍♀️ Its easy to take things for granted.

🤸‍♀️ Let's take waking up in your bed and standing up for instance. Balancing upright, on two feet, without falling over.

For some this is a miracle.

🤸‍♀️ In our daily lives, getting up to go to a job and driving to work seem ordinary that we take for granted.

🤸‍♀️ It is only when we get bedridden, or too sick or injured and we lose our precious capabilities that we begin to realise how awesome it is to be simply moving.

🤸‍♀️ This amazing gift of movement is worth using to it's full potential. Use it to try new things and get moving. Get off the couch and away from the tv as much as you can. Learn a sport or join the gym.

Express gratitude and look after your amazing body. It's worth more than anything you'll ever buy.

Hi Neighbours!

The Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin has released the new strategy for our ageing population, Better Later Life – He Oranga Kaumātua 2019 to 2034.

Like the rest of the developed world, New Zealand has an ageing population. This means there are some things we must consider and prepare for as a country.

Better Later Life takes a fresh look at what is required to ensure New Zealand is a great place to age and achieve the vision of making sure older people lead valued, connecting and fulfilling lives.

The strategy's key areas for action will be used to guide the priorities of what needs to happen in our action plan.

Jo and Rachel talked about what's going on in their own backyards and suggested some edible crops you can sow and grow yourself. Jo gave a masterclass in planting tomatoes, the pair discussed peeing on lemon trees and keeping cats out of your vege beds, and Rachel talked to a Central Otago gardener who has to deal with extreme temperatures, extreme drought... and temperamental donkeys.
