☀️ Heading into Christmas and sunnier days means more beach time, festive gatherings, and plenty of time outdoors. But while the sun feels good, too much exposure can cause real harm.

🎯Sunburn isn’t just uncomfortable; it damages your skin, speeds up ageing, and increases your risk of skin cancer later in life. In New Zealand, melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer, with more than 2,000 cases reported each year. Fairer skin burns more easily, but UV radiation can damage skin of any colour. That’s why being sun smart matters for everyone.

Here’s how to protect yourself this holiday season:
✨Slip into a long-sleeved shirt or find shade
✨Slop on sunscreen of at least SPF30+
✨Slap on a wide-brimmed hat
✨Wrap on sunglasses to shield your eyes

Enjoy the sunshine, celebrate the season, and look after your skin. Learn more about staying sun smart: https://healthify.nz/health-a-z/s/sunburn?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email%20marketing&utm_campaign=Healthify%20Tips%20-%20December

☀️ With summer gatherings in full swing, from picnics to barbecues, food safety becomes more important than ever. Warmer temperatures allow bacteria such as Campylobacter, E. coli, and Salmonella to multiply quickly, raising the risk of food poisoning.

🍗 The key to prevention lies in the four C’s of food hygiene: clean, cook, cover, and chill. Handle chicken carefully, keep cold foods properly chilled, cook thoroughly on the BBQ, refrigerate leftovers promptly, and plan ahead for your holiday ham. These simple steps protect your health and ensure your celebrations remain safe and enjoyable.

🍭 During the holiday season, it’s easy to consume more than we realise. Added sugar often finds its way into everyday foods, especially in processed snacks and sweetened drinks.

📊 The World Health Organisation recommends keeping added sugar under 50 grams per day for adults and under 16 grams for children. A few mindful choices can help you enjoy your meals while staying on track.

🥗 Making small changes can support your energy and wellbeing. Try choosing whole foods such as vegetables, fruit, dairy, nuts, and seeds, and ease back on sugary extras.

🤒 A cough, sore throat, or runny nose is most often caused by a viral infection. Nonetheless, it’s a good idea to take a rapid antigen test to rule out COVID-19 and help guide your next steps.

🏠 While resting at home, simple remedies can help ease discomfort. Try a saline spray for blocked noses, salt water gargles for sore throats, or ibuprofen if advised by your pharmacist or healthcare provider.

👩‍⚕️ If your symptoms persist or you’re unsure what’s causing them, reach out to your GP for support. For more tips on looking after yourself and preventing the spread of illness, visit https://healthify.nz/health-a-z/c/cough-runny-nose-sore-throat

💜Arthritis affects millions of people worldwide, making everyday tasks more difficult and movement more painful. But physical activity, when done safely and consistently, can help reduce pain, improve joint function, and support overall wellbeing.

🏃‍♀️There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Cardio, resistance training, mobility exercises, and balance work each offer unique benefits. The key is choosing what suits your body and starting gradually. If you're living with arthritis, staying active may feel challenging, but it’s one of the most effective ways to manage symptoms and protect your joints.
