What’s Your Gut Feeling?
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. Pop into your local pharmacist to discuss your digestive wellbeing today.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
