  • Go To Health: Eating healthy without the big bills

    Go To Health: Eating healthy without the big bills
    2018/02/27
    In this summer podcast series, each week the New Zealand Herald and Newstalk ZB's Go to Health podcast will look at a different health issue. Today, it's how to get the fresh food you need without losing money or time. Hosted by Frances Cook.
    No, it's not just you. It's increasingly difficult to feed yourself properly without needing help from a loan shark.
    2017 was a bad year for the price of fresh fruit and vegetables. In September, fresh produce prices were up 5.7 percent on the year before.
    It was even worse in May, when the price of fruit and veges shot up 14 percent compared to the same time the year before.
    Part of the problem was the soggy weather we had, which saw some vegetables literally rotting in the soil where they were supposed to grow.
    At various points through 2017 we saw cauliflower shoot up to 10 bucks a pop, kumara jump up to over $8 a kilo, and the always maligned avocados were a costly $4.50 each.
    If you're trying to feed a family their five plus a day, it's beyond me how you deal with that.
    But of course, that's why we bring in the experts. There's got to be a way to feed yourself right without going broke.
    I called up Lifespark nutritionist Kate Walker for the latest episode of Go to Health.
    We talked about the common misperceptions about what's actually healthy, and how to save both money and time while eating the food your body needs.
    For the episode, listen to the podcast.

  • Go to Health: How being poor makes you sick

    Go to Health: How being poor makes you sick
    2018/02/18
    In this summer podcast series, each week the New Zealand Herald and Newstalk ZB's Go to Health podcast will look at a different health issue. Today, it's how a low income hurts your health, and who's responsible for fixing it. Hosted by Frances Cook.

    When you're short on money, just about everything becomes more difficult. 

    It's hard to get a house that's warm and dry. I remember all too well living in places where a breeze would rattle through the room even when all the doors and windows were technically shut.  

    It's also hard to feed yourself properly. Fruit and veges are expensive and only became more expensive through 2017. 

    It's cheaper to buy stacks of white bread and weetbix, which will at least technically stop you feeling hungry. 

    It's also hard to plan for the future. You're in survival mode, and focusing all of your energy on getting through right now. 

    Good luck with putting aside savings or thinking about taking a course to get you into a well paid job, when you're dealing with all of that. 

    Obviously, these add up to causing some health problems, that can often make the money situation even worse. 

    I called Philippa Howden-Chapman, professor of public health at the University of Otago, Wellington, for the latest Go to Health podcast. 

    We talked about how money stress can hurt your health, what sort of health problems crop up, and where the line is between personal and social responsibility. 

    For the interview, listen to the podcast.

  • Go To Health: Is your job hurting your mental health?

    Go To Health: Is your job hurting your mental health?
    2018/02/13
    In this summer podcast series, each week the New Zealand Herald and Newstalk ZB's Go to Health podcast will look at a different health issue. Today, it's the effect of modern work expectations on our mental health. Hosted by Frances Cook.
    It's all too easy to slip into the habit of working harder and harder, drawing your sense of worth and accomplishment from dealing with an increasing amount of pressure in your job.
    But it's a balancing act that can only go for so long before something has to give. An increasing number of New Zealanders are now facing exactly that problem.
    Last year's Wellness in the Workplace survey, put together by Southern Cross and Business NZ, has documented a spike in workplace stress levels over the last two years.
    The biggest factor for the people they surveyed was being overloaded, with just too much to do.
    A recent survey by Seek also backs this up, finding one in three Kiwis feel stressed out from their job, and can't stop themselves bringing work home at the end of the day.
    Our working life is a huge part of how we spend our life in general, so maybe it shouldn't be a surprise that if you keep this up for too long, there can be pretty serious consequences.
    I called Helena Cooper-Thomas, organisational behaviour professor at AUT, for the latest episode of the Go to Health podcast.
    We talked about whether people are more stressed by work than they were in the past, signs of stress, and how to deal with it.
    For the interview, listen to the podcast.
