Food waste, costs, health, and time are all factors we may consider when choosing where or how to do our food shop.
On today's Health Hub we took a look at when it is worth going to a specialist rather than the supermarket.
Allyson Gofton told Tim Beveridge that while specialists allow for more choice, information, and less waste, not everyone can fit visiting multiple specialty stores into their weekly shop due to time or budget constraints.

Weight loss drugs are the new meds taking the world by storm.
But if you don't want to jump on the bandwagon, what are the bog-standard, tried and true dietary changes to help you lose weight?
And we're in the thick of winter - which usually means hearty stews and fatty meats are on the menu - but is there something healthier we can turn to?

As we get older, our bodies slow down - it starts to take longer to get back to 100 percent, when recovering from the gym or a sports-match.
But longer periods of rest-days can compound, and lead to our fitness goals slipping out of reach. So how do we prevent that?
Do we shift our routines to something less-intense, and lower-impact, to get more days in the gym? Or readjust our workout-splits?
BodyTorque Fitness Founder and Coach Alex Flint joins the Health Hub to discuss.

Everyone's using headphones and blasting sounds at full-volume now; noise-cancelling ear-phones are as common and cheaper than ever; live shows and events with crowds are a must for most adults, and children are being left to their devices - listening to music and game-sounds without knowing what's too loud for their ears.
So how can we protect our hearing, and prevent hearing loss? When should we see a specialist or get tested?
What are we doing that's causing damage? and how can we judge what our hearing levels are like?
With Tim Beveridge to talk about it: ENT Surgeon and Hearing Specialist, Dr Michel Neef

A new study finds poor sleep is tied to rising cancer risk for those under 50, with irregular sleeping patterns and insomnia being three times more likely to get cancer within five years.
But sleeping can be hard to do, especially if you're younger and faced with the stresses of today, or the distractions on your phone.
You could also do shift-work at irregular hours to make your living, in that case, you delay sleep for later or force yourself to run on empty.
So what can be done about improving our sleep quality, and what are we doing wrong - and more to the point, how do you recognise chronic sleep deprivation?
Sleep Expert and Director of Sleep Well Clinics, Dr Alex Bartle talks to Tim Beveridge.

Nowadays our phones have the ability to track our exercise and sleep habits, and if it's not our phones, it's our smartwatches.
These tools can monitor our heart-rate, count our steps, say how many calories we've burned, and tracks how far we've walked, biked, or run.
There's all these metrics and stats that your smartwatches can provide you - but how crucial are these devices? What info can they bring us that's practical in getting us to our fitness goals?
With Tim Beveridge to talk about it: one of New Zealand's most celebrated high-performance coaches, one who trained Dame Lisa Carrington, three time Coast-to-Coast winner, and six-time Halberg Coach of the Year Winner - Gordon Walker.

Hearing loss is one of those things that sneak up on you.

The weather is cooling down and winter is almost upon us...

We've been hearing for a while an increasing concern around a lack of information about healthy eating.
You head to the doctor for a minor issue that's been bugging you for a while, and you're more likely to head home with a script for panadol and ibuprofen than a few print outs on maintaining a balanced diet.

For decades we've watched as professional athletes spend a whole lot of time warming up behind the pre-game interviews on game day, from stretching to sprinting and everything in between.
The professionals take it seriously and so do the amateurs - parents will know the rush to show up an hour or two early to make enough time for a thorough warm up on a Saturday morning.

At this stage it's probably more common than not to have some kind of wearable tracker to track your steps, heart rate, and the one we're discussing today - sleep.
They give you data showing how long you've slept, how much time you spent in each of the sleep stages, and some will even provide you with your heart rate variability and how much sleep you'll need based on your stats for the day.
But are the really as useful as they seem? Or do they provide the every day person with too much insight to stress over?

The popularity of Telehealth GP appointments skyrocketed during the pandemic, and it hasn't gone away since.
Just about every general practice now offers Telehealth appointments, generally as a less costly and more accessible alternative.
But this country has an increasingly urgent primary care crisis, with 50% of GPs planning to retire by 2035 - and Telehealth is just another tool to get more patients seen as GPs leave the workforce.

It's common to come up with a myriad of excuses as to why you can't go to the gym a few times a week, why you can't make a balanced meal instead of eating out, the list goes on.
Quite honestly, almost anyone can spare 15 minutes out of the day to go for a walk or run, but instead we'll spend 30 minutes trying to come up with a good reason not to.
All too often, we tend to stand in our own way when it comes to improving our health or fitness. But why? And how do we stop it from happening?

We've seen the data - the wait to get mental health or addiction support is getting lower and the system seems to be improving.

Getting fit and healthy is just about throwing on your running shoes and making a salad.
The key to sticking with a workout routine, is finding the right sort of exercise for you so that you don't get sick of it.
We've seen another wave of fitness trends recently, with Hyrox gaining popularity, 75 Hard, and cold plunges among others.
We'll often overlook these as just being the current thing, maybe even a fad that will boost your dopamine for a week or two before fading into the abyss of the Ab Roller and other 'As Seen On TV' trends.

There's a fairly universal amount of food people should be eating every day.
It varies based on things like age and height - but for the most part, most adults should be aiming for a certain number of calories and macros.
But when you start getting a bit more active, working out more regularly or making changes to a sedentary lifestyle, you'll find yourself feeling more hungry, more often.

While a lot of people will be running around doing some last minute shopping for presents - they'll also be working out what to put on the table.
But as Kiwis, we waste almost as much as we eat.
A survey by Love Food Hate Waste NZ found that binned leftovers made up 42% of food waste across the holiday season, and too-much cooked food making up a further 26.1%.

Health seems to be overcomplicated these days - but does it really need to be?
Everywhere you look you see another kind of diet, another 'must-have' exercise machine, a drink that can replace a meal, or a new gym programme that promises to finally solve all your problems.
But truly, could the foundation of good health be as simple as a daily walk and eating whole foods? Why do so many people overlook what seem to be the staples of good health, instead going for expensive trends?

It seems like everyone is protein obsessed at the moment.
They're buying the special protein yoghurt, making cottage cheese breads and cakes, even protein ice cream.
It almost feels like just another one of those things that we think are really important for a little while, before we move onto the next thing.
Of course protein is important, but do we really need more than we'd get in a basic, balanced diet?

It's no secret that as we get older, our metabolism slows down a bit, and staying in shape just gets harder to do - from keeping lean, maintaining muscle, and removing stubborn fat.
Ricky Gervais had a tweet about how he's working out everyday now - playing tennis, lifting weights and running. His heart's good, and he trains at a good intensity - but he wonders why he's stil overweight and exhausted?
We could just stay in the gym for longer - but not everyone's got enough time in their day for that... so what are the ways we can keep with our fitness? and why's it harder as we get older?

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.

Pushing yourself to your limit is kind of the whole point of exercise - running just a little longer when you're exhausted, doing that extra rep until you can't lift anymore.
