The winter issue of quarterly health magazine YOU Pulse hits the shelves from 3 June. In the cover story 7de Laan actor Chris Voster talks about his son's autism and the effect it has on their family.

“YOU Pulse is one of the biggest and most successful health magazines on the market and the only one aimed at the whole family,” editor Esmaré Weideman says. “I learnt so much from this issue and I'm still telling friends and colleagues about the interesting tidbits of information and riveting human-interest articles in it.”

In the latest issue YOU Pulse looks at the effect of controversial vibration therapy on the body and visits young athletes who have had organ transplants, performed brilliantly despite them and will take part in the Transplant Games later this year. There is advice on how to ensure your marriage isn't harmed by the economic crisis and suggestions on how a few small changes in your diet can help you lose weight. On the exercise front the publication looks at various dance techniques that promise to put a spring in your step – as Cindy Nell-Roberts can testify.

The food focus is on meat, which is listed from healthiest to unhealthiest types. This is vital information for parents planning menus for their families. There are pointers on ideal foods to include in your winter diet to help keep colds and flu at bay and suggestions on which supplements will help keep you in tip-top shape through the colder weather.

The comprehensive migraine dossier covers South African Dr Elliot Shevel's miraculous breakthrough in this field which is bringing new hope to people all over the world. And if headaches and children are ruining your sex-life we have tips that will give it a boost.

Be inspired by JP Nel, a Wellington grape-picker who, after an accident at harvest time, is getting on with his life and work with the help of an electronic arm.

“If you're serious about your own and your family's health, YOU Pulse is for you,” Weideman says.
