Support your Lungs - naturally
We have a new Scientifically made Product called EXhale from Dunedin NZ.
This product is made with NZ fruit and the active ingredient Macrophages called BerriQi®.
🧫Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that helps to defend the body against pathogens. 🧫
🧫Though best known for their role as the first line of defence against invading pathogens, macrophages also perform a wide variety of roles in development, homeostasis, innate and acquired immunity, and inflammation.
🧫Macrophages demonstrate an incredible degree of plasticity and are able to change their function based on the needs of the body.
🧫Activated macrophages can be broadly divided up into two classes, M1 and M2, which have unique characteristics and perform different roles in managing pathogens and tissue damage.
🧫Macrophages can move between these two classes in response to different stimuli, using a process known as class switching.
🧫M1 macrophages (also known as “pro-inflammatory” or “classically activated” macrophages) have a central role in immunity and actively defend the body against invaders.
🧫M2 macrophages (also known as “anti-inflammatory” or “alternatively activated” macrophages) is to repair tissue that has been damaged due to infection or other causes.
🧫Unlike M1 macrophages, M2 cells produce healing factors that encourage the regeneration of damaged tissue. They also produce anti-inflammatory signals that help to resolve inflammation and prevent additional damage.
BerriQi®, a patented formulation of New Zealand Boysenberries and apple, has been shown to reduce lung fibrosis in preclinical models. Among the ways BerriQi does this is by changing the function of macrophages in the lungs, activating these cells in a specific way to aid in the breakdown of excess collagen.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
(Shezz from Ngāruawāhia kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Shezz!)

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
