New research indicates making healthy choices might require more effort than updating your grocery list.

A new study claims women's eating habits are more socially sensitive, and when isolated, they're 85 percent more likely to stop eating vegetables daily and twice as likely to stop eating fruit. 

The study also claims that when women's social networks shrink or become less diverse, women lose the social scaffolding that supports healthy eating patterns. 

Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara explains the research further - and how you can make healthy choices.

It's a one-woman show, where Mitchell portrays Ginsburg from the age of 13 to 97, and she plays numerous characters across a story that lasts almost two hours.

"Really, all it requires is being present and in the moment and being there, for those imaginary characters."

Dave Dobbyn is regarded as a national treasure among Kiwi music fans, and he's set to hit the stage this July.

From Th’ Dudes to DD Smash to a highly successful solo career, he's made an impact on New Zealand music, with many of his hits becoming Kiwi anthems.

He's set to do a one night show in Auckland later this year, 'Selected Songs Encore' - a follow-up to last year's 'Selected Songs' tour.

"It was a real thrill and I warmed to it, because every time you play for an audience, you just become closer - and that's a pretty satisfying feeling."

Five by Ilona Bannister. This is a highly entertaining and cleverly constructed thriller based on the premise that on a suburban train station one morning there are five minutes until the next train, five passengers waiting, and five minutes until one of them dies. The narrative gives the story of each of these people so that you develop a real understanding of them, all the while wondering which of them will be the unlucky one, and it effectively makes the reader become the judge, jury and executioner. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Famesick by Lena Dunham. Lena Dunham became extremely famous in her early 20’s as the writer and lead actor in the TV series Girls and has maintained a high profile since. Her memoir is fascinating - she’s struggled with debilitating sickness for much of her life and survived addictions, celebrity and a fair amount of public humiliation - all whilst working frenetically, displaying early and rare talent, and she puts it all on the page in this book which I couldn’t put down. She’s a very talented writer and her own life has given her a remarkable canvas against which to tell her story.
