Top Tips for Embracing a Healthy Lifestyle

Column: Kerrie Cleggett, IN 2 HEALTH  In the fast-paced world we live in where convenience sometimes takes preference – it’s crucial to prioritize a healthy lifestyle that nourishes both body and mind.

Radiation therapy, rural doctors, housing availability, local access to training and education for trades and services, road maintenance – the issues roll off the tongue of Mr Haynes who last year was elected an SA Liberal Party State vice-president. He is best known for leading the fight for radiation therapy services in the SE with a petition of 20,000 signatures forcing a parliamentary inquiry. “No longer should a regional postcode determine you automatically receive a lesser service or (reduced) health service,” he said.

But he believed services were in decline while small businesses and farmers were being squeezed by the green and red rubber rings of bureaucracy. “On top of that are the day-to-day cost of living […]
