Health News – November 2017
In light of it being Movember, be sure to get a check-up from your doctor, to get that all-clear.
‘Grow a Mo, save a bro’
Movember is this month, lads. So go grow yourself a mo. Call some mates together, go for a run, get the word out and raise some money for men’s health.
In such a fast-paced world, the occasional Joe just needs some time out, to check up on his health, to take a breather, have some alone time or spend time with bros.
The idea of Movember started as a seed planted in 2003 by Travis Garone and Luke Slattery over a couple of beers. Now it has blossomed into the empire of a global foundation and is helping more than 5 million men worldwide tackle their own health issues. It seems to be working, with it reaching number 55 in the top 500 non-governmental organisations (NGO) around the world. It has reached more than 30 countries and New Zealand is most definitely one of those. New Zealand alone has raised more than $919 million over past Movembers, looking out for our bros.
Prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide are just some of the things this not-for-profit hub helps men overcome. These are big issues rarely talked about on such a scale. Men are seen as tough and able to do anything. Movember is a safe place to look to and talk on these issues and receive funding for men to continue living healthy, happy lives.

COMVITA
Comvita® Honeygar™ 750ml
Many people don’t know about the super powers of apple cider vinegar and most people screw up their faces at the thought of drinking it. But Manuka Honey, on the other hand… we just can’t get enough! So the clever team at Comvita® came up with a new signature blend of these two ingredients to come up with their unique Honeygar™.
Comvita® Honeygar™ combines naturally fermented apple cider vinegar with Comvita® UMF® 5+ manuka honey. It can be taken as a health tonic or used in salad dressings. Since ancient times, vinegar has traditionally been used for a healthier life.
Serving suggestion: To make a healthy and delicious beverage, mix one tablespoon of Comvita® Honeygar™ with water, adding lemon to taste. In winter, use warm water.
