Remember when you went to the Lost Forest in the Myer Centre and it was home to the puggles and there were soothing forest sounds playing, and trees growing out of the ground and the puggles would go down a little slide before coming home with you?

Well, just like we’ve triggered a memory here, your daily habits are often linked to triggers. If you’re trying to break a sugary drinks habit it can be helpful to keep your triggers in mind.

If your trigger is:
- Seeing a sugary drink – try not walking down the sugary drink aisle
- Routine based – try having water or a low sugar drink ready to go with your meal or whenever it’s sugary drink o’clock
- Stress or low mood - try planning some self care activities like meditation or walk outside
- Caffeine craving - swap an energy drink or cola for an (unsweetened) tea or coffee
- Thirst – try setting a regular reminder on your phone to drink water so you stay hydrated across the day

Bowel cancer, also known as colore**al cancer, can affect any part of the colon or re**um. It may also be referred to as colon cancer or re**al cancer, depending on where the cancer is located.

While it can affect people of any age and gender, bowel cancer becomes more common as you get older.

Bowel cancer screening looks for early signs of the disease before you might notice anything is wrong - giving you the best chance of successful treatment if something is found.

If you’re aged 50-74, you’ll be sent a screening test every two years as part of the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program. People aged 45-49 can also request a free screening kit to be mailed to them by submitting a webform or calling 1800 627 701.
