“I need to have some sort of goal to aim for, otherwise it’s like‘I could go for a run… but I can’t be bothered ” That’s a quote from our cover girl Matilda Rice, who’s signed up for this year’s Auckland Half Marathon. I’m sure many of you can relate to that sentiment; I certainly do. Over the years I’ve paid good money to suffer through all sorts of events, although I’ve never regretted it once I’ve crossed the finish line. One of my highlights was running a half marathon in Glasgow during a thunderstorm. At one point we were wading through ankle-deep water, though that didn’t stop some very soggy bagpipers from serenading us. Somehow I ran my fastest time that day. Another was completing my first 1km ocean…

VARY GOOD New research has highlighted the fact expectant mums can have an influence on their child’s future risk of allergies. Revised guidelines from the American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) recommend pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should no longer avoid certain allergy-inducing foods such as peanuts, cow’s milk and seafood. “Research indicates that pregnant women who eat a varied diet, without restricting certain allergens, may in fact be protecting their child from food allergies later in life due to increased tolerance from early exposure”says nutritionist Madelynn Loo.

People who feel down have been found to produce more effective arguments than cheery people.…

Focusing your attention on a game of Tetris for just three minutes can interfere with the urge to reach for food and reduce the strength of your craving. 3 Think about the consequences.
