Struggling with repetitive strain injury in your wrists? Here are 5 scientifically-backed tips to manage it effectively:

1. Take breaks every 30 minutes: Give your wrists a 5-minute break from typing or repetitive tasks.
2. Incorporate wrist stretches: Perform gentle wrist stretches such as wrist flexion and extension, wrist circles, and wrist flexor stretches.
3. Utilize ergonomic equipment: Invest in an ergonomic keyboard and mouse to reduce strain on your wrists and forearms.
4. Apply cold packs for pain relief: Use cold packs for 15-20 minutes every few hours to reduce inflammation and numb pain.
5. Consider wrist splints: Wearing wrist splints at night can help alleviate symptoms by keeping your wrists in a neutral position.

Fruit fly toxin...Well it's not the fruit fly that's toxic, it's what they use to combat it. So tonight, looking through the news headlines I see an ABC article that talks of rising fruit and veg cost and low supply due to a fruit fly issue (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-21/fruit-fly-impacting-fresh-produce-prices-farmers-sa/103872340). They talk of heating and fumigating our fruit and veg. And yes this would include 'organically grown'. I wondered, what are they fumigating with. Google research: methyl bromide. What does this do? Google again....check out the list of side effects in the image attached. It emphasises the importance of growing as much as you can yourself!
