THE TALE OF TWO ORGANS

Naturally Healthy

We love our music here at Supercharged HQ. We each have our favourite genres and artists (though Nordic death metal isn't on any of our playlists at the moment). There’s one thing we have in common though, we all love the organ. In fact, two organs. Can you feel a bad joke coming on? You are correct. Here it is. The organs we love are the gut and our skin.
Errrrgh, was it worth the set-up? No. But it’s still true. We talk often about just how central the gut is to other organs but to every other part of the body. Yet, while they’re some distance from each other, the gut plays a vital role in another vital organ - your skin.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
