Kaumatua & Kuia Celebration |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
The recent kaumatua & kuia luncheon was a great success and enjoyed by over one 120 people. Te Puna Hauora puts on the event twice a year to celebrate the older members of the community. A great band, good kai and the celebratory atmosphere proved a winning combination at the event, with many saying it was the best one yet. |
|
| |
“Many older people in our community can become isolated, so this is a wonderful opportunity for kuia and kaumatua to catch up and reconnect with each other” said senior Kaumatua
Teri Hei Hei. “They can catch up on all the gossip!!” |
|
| |
The Te Puna team paid tribute to the many guests with korero, waiata and a small taonga. |

"Stone-Age diet may aid diabetics" |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
A study suggests people with diabetes could improve their condition by forgoing modern foods for a "Stone-Age" diet, the NZ Herald reported recently. |
|
| |
Scientists at Lund University in Sweden found a prehistoric choice of fruit, nuts, vegetables and lean meat better controlled poor blood sugar than recognised contemporary alternatives such as the Mediterranean diet. |
|
| |
Participants in the study suffered from raised blood sugar and most had symptoms of type 2 diabetes. |
|
| |
Fourteen copied the diet of Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers, who lived off the land tens of thousands of years ago. Another group of 15 patients adopted the modern-day Mediterranean diet of whole-grain cereals, low-fat dairy products, fruit, vegetables and unsaturated fats. |
|
| |
After 12 weeks, the carbohydrate-linked blood sugar rises had fallen 26 per cent in the Stone Age diet group compared with 7 per cent for the others. |
|
| |
Dr Staffan Lindeberg, who led the study, said: "If you want to prevent, or treat, type 2 diabetes, it may be more efficient to avoid some modern foods than to count calories or carbohydrates." |
