#178 Nike Shares Fall, Flu Camp & Are You Prepped for a National Emergency?

Okay, so this week in wellness, headline number one.

This headline comes from The Guardian.

Minister tells Brits to stock up on days of supplies.

Now, I'm sure we've all seen various different headlines from different news outlets talking about this idea that British people have been urged to have enough food and water on hand to survive for a few days, potentially, without power or water.

That is the important bit.

No power, no water.

So, as I said, many digital platforms have been reporting this.

And the reason this has essentially come to be a headline is because of a combination of things.

So we've had extreme weather conditions over the summer that we mentioned.

We've had the heat waves.

We've had rising temperatures globally, potential droughts.

We've had wildfires.

So this extreme weather can disrupt everything.

power it can disrupt water supply transport food supply all of these things and so the government wants households to be better prepared if something should happen in the future where there is a grid shutdown or power disruption for a few days there's also other things to consider here so people have also commented on things like the Strait of Hormuz obviously the closure is there and how that's affecting things like oil and fertilizer and and things like that And then also the impact of those wildfires.

So, for example, if they were crop fields or if they were wineries or, you know, what are those fields that potentially will not be harvested this year and how will that impact the global food supply? So there's kind of like a perfect storm of reasons that we might have food scarcity in certain countries, including our own, and why we might have this kind of grid shutdown.

So it got me thinking from a wellness perspective, I was thinking, okay, fine.

If we're going to encourage people to stock up for several days of food, what should we actually include from a nutrition perspective? Does it really matter if it's just a few days anyway? Could you just survive on whatever you want? and what should we kind of be ideally thinking about if we're going to make this little store cupboard or if we're going to make a little uh supply rations box when it comes to all the things across the nutrition protein fiber macros all of that what should people be packing so i thought that would be a good place for us to kick off season eight what do you think you two

An apocalypse box.

Who knew this would be our starter? I

did.

Futurist.

I did.

Futurist.

I talk about these things and people go, oh, Adrian, come on.

You're such a like, you know, like I've got a tinfoil hat.
