It’s Wellness Wednesday on Afternoon Express and we focus on all things menstrual hygiene and education.

Menstrual Hygiene is vital for the well being of women and girls all over the world. We have a chat with Beatrice Mutali, who is a representative for the United Nations Population Fund on Menstrual Health.

Period poverty is a global pandemic, where women and girls have little to no access to sanitary products. The Cora Project is one of many other organisations trying to end that poverty. Co-founder of The Cora Project Aurora Marcopoulos tells us more about the goals of the foundation.

Sharing her tips and tricks on how to spread body positivity and a few yoga positions is Well-being Yoga Instructor, Pranya Naidoo.

Gynecologist Dr Elmarie will be educating viewers on the importance of menstrual health and education.

And finally Chefs Chewme and Anele are here to refresh our midweek dinner with a Creamy Braised Garlicky Bean on toast recipe. Get the recipe on www.afternoonexpress.co.za/recipes
