Migraines & Chlorinated water
Hi there, a friend has had a notable increase in her migraine attacks in recent weeks. After a quick Google search I found several articles and study references that said chlorine in tap water depletes the body of magnesium, increasing the incidence of asthma, pneumonia, and migraine attacks among other ailments. If you have migraines, and drink unfiltered tap water in Christchurch, I'd be curious to know whether or not you have noticed any increase in the frequency and/or severity of the migraines you've experienced since the water treatment began in Christchurch. Regards.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
