Personal Care

We Jamaicans are well known for our love of good food and good times. However, as the saying goes, too much of a good thing can sometimes be harmful – especially when it comes to our health. With one of the highest rates of heart disease and stroke in the Caribbean, the need to adopt healthier lifestyles has never been more urgent. 

October paints the world pink as we unite in solidarity against breast cancer. The ribbon, a symbol of strength, hope and resilience, inspires us to take action. Whether you've personally battled this disease, supported a loved one or wear the ribbon in tribute, your awareness can make a big difference. 

A well-stocked medicine cabinet is essential for any household. Having the right supplies can help you handle everyday health issues, from minor cuts and colds to unexpected emergencies, quickly and efficiently. Whether you’re nursing a headache or treating a small burn, having the right supplies on hand ensures you're prepared for whatever comes your way.

Whether you are soaking up the sun at the beach, taking a leisurely walk or just pottering around in the garden, here's what you need to know to stay cool and hydrated this summer.
