Could walking around naked in front of multiple strangers make us feel better about our bodies?

Nudist events have traditionally been dominated by older men, but that’s changing. A new wave of Gen Z and Millennial women are finding it helps with confidence and mental health. There’s even gender quotas at some get-togethers to make sure the women attending feel comfortable.  As part of a special report into how the nudist community is changing, Ruby Kraner-Tucci has spoken to several young women about what got them into it.  You can read more about it all here.

Elsewhere, Jackie Sinnerton  has shared the story of a woman who was turned away from a hospital emergency department despite having a breast so swollen and painful she thought she had cancer.  The type-1 diabetes sufferer eventually refused to leave and was admitted to hospital. She says she was later told she was septic. We know emergency departments across the country are under enormous strain and pressure. This was meant to be eased by the federal government’s rollout of urgent care clinics. But are things any better? If you’ve faced a problem and would like us to look into it, or highlight it to bring about change, then please get in contact at health@news.com.au.

Meanwhile, in the latest instalment of our morning routine series, a respected neuroscientist has revealed there’s one thing we should be doing when we get out of bed.  It’s surprisingly simple and doesn’t cost anything which is always a plus.

On the topic of Easter, if you're feeling a little guilty about enjoying one too many chocolate eggs over the long weekend  then this story will make you feel better. It shares how one mum lost 23kg while still eating chocolate daily. Dietitians say we don't need to cut it out. Phew!

Have a great week.
