The World Health Organisation estimates over a billion people between the ages of 12 and 35 are at high risk of hearing loss due to unsafe habits.
The key cause for the age group is simply listening to music for too long, and too loudly, in headphones or earbuds. Even a movie cinema is likely to have unsafe sound levels.

Regardless, we continue the mental battle every single day, trying to figure out a way to whip up something relatively healthy before the next sport drop off.

Alcohol has been a problem in New Zealand for a while, and it may be time for a reality check.
A study out of the United States found only 54% of adults consume alcohol, the lowest ever recorded since tracking began in 1939.

But there are a whole host of barriers holding children back, stopping them from reaching their full potential, and creating cycles that continue through generations.
We always say children are our future, so why are we not doing more to support that future?

Sarcoma is deadliest cancer among children and young people, accounting for nearly one third of deaths among the 15-24 age group.
Despite this, research funding remains low compared to more common cancers, and feeds back into low survival rates.
It's also reportedly misdiagnosed a third of the time, highlighting the urgent need for better early detection.
What do we do if we feel like our doctors misdiagnosed us? What signs s...
New research shows the "Atlantic diet" could be the secret to a longer and healthier life.
There's also the mediterranean diet, and tuna-broccoli-chicken-rice meals.
But sticking to these can be so boring on our palettes, and when you're busy with work and life - it's basically impossible to maintain!

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
