CUSTOMER RAGE & HOW BEST TO VENT YOUR ANGER
Customer service in 2008 can be an overhyped, marketing sham that sees many Aussies blow their top just to be heard. They can often be found simmering in a queue, on hold to an Indian call centre, or dealing with sales people who just don’t care.
But rather than being therapeutic, Customer Rage may actually be a danger to your health. Blowing a gasket may fail to deliver any real change to your frustrations, and simply add more ammunition to your next explosion.
The latest issue of HealthSmart details three main scenarios that push the average, mild-mannered Aussie over the edge, and why getting angry is not the answer. There is also a guide on ‘How To Maintain Your Rage … Effectively’.
FINDING YOUR OWN EASTER HOLIDAY INSPIRATION
With the Easter break starting to loom on the calendar, your next getaway can be so much more than just another beach. It can be a life-changing experience to re-discover your worth and the wonder of the world.
From creative writing yoga retreats to digging in dirt, and from playing dress-ups to volunteering your time and skills, there are many ways to make your next break something quite special.
HealthSmart profiles seven inspirational holiday breaks that you probably haven’t even considered before.
PILLOW SCIENCE & GETTING A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP
Getting a good night’s sleep is a major objective (and obstacle) for many Australians, especially with our hectic, time-poor lifestyles. But quite often one of the most important factors – the humble pillow – is overlooked.
There are pillows to suit snorers, travellers, expectant mums, people with allergies, and those with neck and back pain. Choosing the right pillow for you may also be determined by your sleep position or the shape of your shoulders!
HealthSmart delivers a practical guide to choosing the pillow that will best work for you.
WHY EGGS HAVE BEEN GETTING ROTTEN TREATMENT
Eggs have had rotten press over the past few decades, but the latest research shows there are many reasons why they should be back on your menu.
Not only do they deliver the highest-quality protein of all foods, they’re good for all sorts of things – including everything from your eyes to your waistline.
HealthSmart explains why eggs have been getting unfair reviews in recent years, and how much of this superfood you should actually be consuming.
