What’s Your Gut Feeling?

Gaviscon

Gut health and wellbeing has a noticeable impact on overall health. Factors such as diet, age, excessive stress and antibiotic treatment may cause an imbalance in ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria. This imbalance can also be exacerbated by the symptoms of heartburn and indigestion. Identifying symptoms is key to understanding underlying gut imbalances, so that helpful treatment solutions can be taken. There are many simple lifestyle changes that can help improve overall gut heath. Additionally, overall wellbeing and good health can be optimised with Probiotics and specific Symptom Relievers.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
