It’s officially winter and the colder weather is starting to kick in, so take some time to inspect your hot water bottle for holes, leaks or weak spots....

Heating beds for winter is not the time to drag out ol’ faithful, blow off the dust and call it good. The materials used in that hot water bottle from last winter, or winters before, may have perished and need to be replaced. And, if boiling water has been used to fill it in the past you could be lining yourself up for a nasty accident.

All hot water bottles sold in New Zealand are required to meet the British Standard. The best way to be sure that the product you’re using is safe, is to check the stamp — there should be one on the bottle neck. The accepted versions of the standard are BS 1970:2012, BS 1970:2006 and BS 1970:2001.

If there’s any doubt in your mind about the age, or strength of your hot water bottle don’t put yourself or your family at risk, just toss it.

HOT WATER BOTTLE SAFETY TIPS:

* Never use boiling water to fill your hot water bottle as this can cause the bottle to split or leak. Hot water is fine to use but warm water is best.
* Use a cover or wrap the bottle in a towel before using — this will help prevent burns.
* Check hot water bottles regularly for any splits or signs of perishing — if the bottle is split or perished replace it.
* Make sure the top is firmly closed before using.
* For children and the elderly, use the bottle to warm the bed, then remove before the person gets into bed.
* Don’t lie or sit on the hot water bottle.
* Avoid overfilling.

With this autumnal weather, pollen can signal allergies for many of us.
There is a lot of pollen in the air right now, which is the most common trigger of hayfever.
We recommend Levrix, but we also have plenty of alternative brands too. 🤧

Stay healthy by supercharging your diet with Vitamin C! Remember, our bodies can’t produce it, so we need to obtain it through diet or supplementation. 🍊 Besides boosting the immune system, it helps rebuild tissues, bones, and neutralizes free radicals. Don’t be fooled – oranges aren’t the only source. 😉 Make sure to consume Vitamin C rich foods, especially with winter’s chill making us more prone to colds. Fun fact: Did you know certain substances like alcohol, analgesics, and smoking can reduce levels of vitamin C in the body? Men need about 90 mg daily and women 75 mg. Let’s boost our health in the right way! Stay strong, stay vibrant! 💪
