WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST ISSUE

Dearest Readers,

There’s something uniquely energizing about putting together a special edition, especially when we know it will be placed directly into the hands of our community during an event as meaningful as the U Health & Wellness Exposition.

This issue holds a mirror up to the many conversations happening across the region right now about what it means to be well, to be informed, and to take ownership of our health journeys. From science-backed stories to everyday wellness insights, we’ve packed these pages with both information and intention.

Our cover story, Clouded Judgment, dives into the growing prevalence of vaping and separates fact from trend, examining the chemicals, the health risks, and the myths shaping public perception. It’s a timely, necessary look at a habit that’s gaining traction, especially among youth.

We also spotlight some of the Caribbean’s most powerful superfoods, decode the marketing trap of greenwashing in wellness, and explore seasonal respiratory illnesses from a regional lens. From thoughtful expert columns to bold “Ten Things” lists, every article was selected to help you reflect, ask questions, and feel empowered.

What makes this issue even more special is that it represents where we’re going, not just as a magazine, but as a movement. We’re growing, connecting, and showing up in print, in person, and in purpose.

Till next time,
AMIRA CHENELLE MUNGAL
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

ABOUT U

U – The Caribbean Health Digest is the first publication of its kind in Trinidad and Tobago dedicated to bringing a wholesome approach to health, lifestyle, and well-being related to Caribbean people.

Our quarterly digest was launched in 2008 and circulated throughout several Caribbean territories for over ten years. After that time, we took a brief interval to evaluate the best way to continue to impact the well-being and lives of our subscribers and readers.

Like any other industry, the magazine world has also felt the impact of digital technology. Years of extensive research reveal a reduction in print publications and a significant increase in online readership. Faster internet speeds, interactive content, online marketing opportunities and a more economical distribution medium are some of the considerations we have employed in making our move into the digital space.

U is produced with high production values meeting international standards. Our exceptional team consists of writers, journalists, and professionals in the medical spheres both locally and internationally, who bring their experience and keen insight into matters that each of us can relate to in one way or another.

The U Health & Wellness Exposition 2025:

As we introduce another major event in 2025, we invite you to experience an exceptional exposition that not only informs but also inspires a healthier, more vibrant lifestyle.

The U Health & Wellness Exposition is a dynamic, interactive national event that brings together local and international health and wellness leaders, lifestyle solution providers, product innovators, health food retailers, public and private healthcare institutions, and leading educational organizations.
