25.01.2022 Christmas break is a great chance to get out in nature for whatever feels good! Nature has an amazing way of slowing us down, resetting our nervous systems after what has been a crazy year and giving us opportunities to move in more joyous or mindful ways. Our favourite ways to move in nature are: getting out for a bush walk or trail run... climbing trees and jumping off rocks getting out for a surf or ocean swim going for a kayak meditating or doing yoga on the sand of a quiet beach What’s your nature pick? #nature #mindfulmovement #health #wellbeing #wellness #slowdown #christmasbreak #exercisephysiology #dailydosebblc #healthcare #activeholidays

25.01.2022 HAPPY LONG WEEKEND! We hope you are all out enjoying the sunshine, time with family & friends and taking a pause. In the rush and busyness of life learning to stop and slow down can come with some resistance. Our bodies and minds need this reset so we aren’t constantly in a state of fight or flight. If we are always on high alert our blood pressure can be higher, we tend to metabolise fuels different, our cognition can feel foggy and all this added pressure over long periods ...can put us at a higher risk of a range of chronic conditions. This weekend take a moment to pause, breathe and be grateful for all the little things when the rush drops away. PS. We will be closed for the public holiday on Monday and back open with smiling refreshed faces on Tuesday #longweekend #activeweekends #pause #mentalhealth #wellbeing #healthcare #cremorne #exercisephysiology #nutrition #wellness #physio #massage #rozelle #wahroonga #darlinghurst #dailydosebblc

24.01.2022 SPRING SALADS! Nothing better than a throw together salad for a weekend BBQ that also doubles as leftover lunches during the week. This one had spinach, carrot, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, baby beets, feta and pecans in it and some lemon juice as the dressing.... #nutrition #salad #springtime #dailydosebblc #dietitian #health #wellness #wellbeing #cremorne

23.01.2022 ENDOMETRIOSIS RESEARCH UPDATE Great to see more and more research coming out about a condition that a lot of women have had to often wait years to be diagnosed properly.

23.01.2022 Our Exercise of the week brought to you by Our EP and men’s health expert, Dave. If we are programming for different goals such as weight loss or some metabolic conditions we want to look for exercises that you are using large muscle groups and can work on strength as well as some interval training. Kettle bell swings are great to hit all these areas. Our key technique tips:... Drive through hips Soft knees not bent Don’t lift just hold the weight Hip hinge not squat Start with a lighter weight to get the technique and progress to heavier. #exerciseoftheweek #kettlebells #kettlebellworkout #kettlebellswings #exercisemotivation #exerciseismedicine #exercisephysiology #movementismedicine #weightloss #metabolicsyndrome #diabetes #menshealth #dailydosebblc #cremorne

23.01.2022 Breakfast of champions! Starting the day off right. Breakfast is toted as the most important meal of the day. Here’s why: breakfast breaks your overnight fast and refuels your glycogen stores it improves your energy levels to keep you going throughout the day... can help stabilise your blood glucose levels helps with memory and concentration helps reduce over-consuming high kilojoules foods later in the day So how can you create a breakfast routine: set your alarm a little earlier to be able to fit it in prep the night before and take something portable to work with you make some easy grab and go breakfast on the weekend such as savoury muffins or frittata #healthybreakfast #nutrition #breakfast #wellbeing #dailydosebblc #health #fitness #earlybirdgetstheworm #cremorne #dietitian #fruit #birchermuesli #coffee

22.01.2022 That time of the year when you don’t know what day of the week it is and you are on your third day of leftovers! Christmas Day is often spent enjoying lots and lots of yummy food, though more often than not we tend to have leftovers the next day! We’re sharing a few simple tips to help you with ideas on how to use your leftovers: ... - Store all leftover meat or seafood in air-tight containers in the fridge to keep them lasting longer - Use limp lettuce (or any other greens), sautéed with onion, herbs and eaten as is, or add to a soup recipe - Carve up whole ham and use as sandwich filling - Carve up meat or seafood and freeze in air-tight containers (label with date) to be eaten another day - Move food that needs eating to the front of the fridge to use up first - Peel leftover prawns and store in air-tight container to be used as a sandwich filling, prawn salad or prawn stir-fry - Use leftover baked potatoes in a cold potato salad - Use leftover vegetables in a stir-fry - Use leftover fruit salad to make a blended smoothie - Eat leftover cake (that might have dried out) with Greek yoghurt - Use leftover bread to make Bread and Butter Pudding - Use leftover wine for cooking or freeze in ice-cube trays to add to sauces another time Post in the comments below if you have any other ideas to use up your leftovers! #christmas #christmasleftovers #dailydosebblc #nutrition #dietetics #healthyfood #healthylifestyle

20.01.2022 When things are running at a slightly slower pace it’s a good idea to think how you might be able to incorporate that into your daily life going forward Repost from @kreative_results In Sweden, Fika is a concept, a state of mind, an attitude and an important part of culture. Many Swedes consider that it is almost essential to make time for fika every day. It means making time for friends and colleagues to share a cup of coffee (or tea) and a little something to eat. ... This time of year can be hectic. It’s also a time to gather together and celebrate all that we’ve achieved and overcome.

20.01.2022 It's National Pain Week! @chronicpainaustraila organises National Pain Week to champion the needs of the many Australian's living with chronic pain. #NPW2020 1 in 5 Australians aged 45 and over are living with persistent, ongoing pain. Chronic pain can result from injury, surgery, musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis and back pain, and other medical conditions. Research clearly shows that exercise can reduce pain and... improve function in people with musculoskeletal pain. It's common for people with pain to lose their confidence with movement or worry that physical activity will make their pain worse. In reality, the long term effect is a further decrease in function and increased pain. Exercising with pain is SAFE and ESSENTIAL on your road to recovery. Accredited Exercise Physiologists are university qualified allied health professionals trained in exercise prescription for chronic conditions. They will work with you to design an exercise intervention that is specific to YOU. #ExerciseRight #chronicpain #movementismedicine #exerciseismedicine #health #wellness #livingwithpain #exercisephysiology #cremorne #darlinghurst #rozelle #wahroonga #complexcare Source @exerciseright_aus

19.01.2022 Movement, friends and getting out in nature! The perfect recipe for social connection, improving your mental health and a little bit of friendly competition with some kayaking races. We are very fortunate to live close to the water and it’s the perfect opportunity to take advantage of trying a new activity. An hour of aerobic exercise can go by without you barely noticing and it’s much nicer than staring at the four walls of a gym.

19.01.2022 D I E T A R Y F I B R E What’s all the fuss about dietary fibre? Dietary fibre is the part of food that isn’t digested in the small intestine. It has a huge impact on our GUT health and is one of our dietitian Angelica’s favourite things to talk about because of the long list of health benefits:... - Feeling fuller for longer - Keeps you regular - Reduces risk of bowel cancer - Healthy heart by lowering cholesterol - Helps stabilise blood sugar levels - Happy GUT We need to eat at least 25-30g per day to see these health benefits so what has fibre? One word, PLANTS! Foods from plants are really high in fibre: 1. Vegetables & fruits (keep the skin on!) 2. Wholegrains (oats, whole wheat cereal, wholemeal bread with seeds) 3. Legumes & lentils 4. Nuts & seeds Try including one food from the list above to every day of this week. And remember, if we eat more fibre it’s important we drink enough water, in order to help prevent constipation. #dietaryfibre #nutrition #health #guthealth #wellbeing #wellness #dailydosebblc #dietitiansofinstagram #cremorne #wholegrains #vegetables #bowelcancerprevention #bowelcancer #diabetes #hearthealth

18.01.2022 LUNG CANCER AWARENESS MONTH We’re talking about lung cancer this month as it’s the 5th most common cancer in Australia! Anyone can be affected by lung cancer, from men to women, smokers to ex-smokers and even never smokers. ... Eating well and enjoying a balanced diet can have a significant impact on our overall health and risk of cancer. Did you know there are some foods that can directly affect our risk of lung cancer? Our dietitian, Angelica, breaks it all down the latest evidence suggests to: - Enjoy isoflavones in your diet (think: soybeans, fava beans, chickpeas, tofu, soymilk & yoghurt) - Enjoy antioxidants in your diet (think: a rainbow of fruits & vegetables!) - Avoid eating high amounts of red meat (think: no more than about 350-450g per week) - Completely avoid eating processed meats (think: sausages, salami, bacon, ham) - Avoid taking beta-carotene supplements (doses of >20mg per day) For more information about lung cancer awareness month check out - https://lunghealth.lungfoundation.com.au/. Lung Foundation Australia also have an online lung health checklist you can do to check on your lung health https://lunghealth.lungfoundation.com.au/lung-health-check/. #lungcancerawareness #health #nutrition #dietetics #oncologynutrition #cancer #lifestylemedicine #wellbeing #dailydosebblc #cremorne

18.01.2022 WELCOME TO 2021 A lot can happen in a year and it often takes the small daily habits or changes that result in the end of the year and what you have achieved to be completely different from previous years. Rather than setting big arduous goals think about what are the small daily changes you can make and link them to things that are meaningful to you.... #happynewyear #happynewyear2021 #newyearsresolution #dailydosebblc #movementismedicine #healthcare #wellbeing #wellness #healthquote #smallchanges #smallchangesbigresults

17.01.2022 RECOVERY POST SURGERY, taking a different approach to the traditional healthcare system. Whether you have just had knee surgery, mastectomy as part of breast cancer treatment, or a C-Section to bring a new little one into the world. Recovery post surgery can feel like an overwhelming task and you can wonder if you will ever get back to the things you love. After many years in the healthcare system that can at times be a bit reactive rather than proactive, we have come across... lots of different people who have dealt with ongoing chronic pain or delays in returning back to the things they love because of poor advice post surgery. It’s our mission to help give people the tools to prep for surgery if the time is available as well as have a stepped out plan post surgery. One of the biggest questions we get ask is when can I get back to golf, pick up my kids or return to surfing/ *insert favourite activity* A lot of the time our surgeons, as brilliant as they may be, just don’t have the time to provide this extra guidance that a great team of allied health professionals can. We strongly encourage building your care team around you. Just like elite athletes have a team of coaches and health pros around them us mere mortals can also do the same in a way that doesn’t break the bank and can save money and ongoing health issues later down the track as well. A few things that can make the world of difference in your recovery: Prehab Program: building up your strength and fitness prior to surgery under the guidance of an Exercise Physiologist can allow you to better manage the anaesthetic, reduce your stay in hospital, reduce post op pain and allow for quicker recovery post surgery. A well planned rehab program with transitions through acute physiotherapy to longer term strength and fitness programs with an Exercise Physiologist can ensure you are rebuilding gradually without overdoing it. From a mental health perspective it gives you some of the control back and increases your confidence. This type of approach can mean you are back on your feet quicker, reduces risk of injuries and the secondary health effects of an inactive lifestyle Cont’d in comments

16.01.2022 S U M M E R S M O O T H I E S More than ever before we’ve seen the impact human actions can have on our beautiful natural environment. One way we can help care for our environment, is choosing to eat fruit and vegetables that are in season and grown locally!

Cucumber, berries (blueberry, raspberry, strawberry) 3. Beetroot, celery, parsley, ginger 4. Banana, blueberry Try pre-cutting the fruit and veg and placing in a freezer bag to save you time later on! Extra add-ins to boost your smoothie: - Greek yoghurt - Milk or milk alternative - LSA powder (linseed, sunflower, almond) - Kefir - Rolled oats - Chia seeds - Coconut water - Ice! And remember use a blender (not a juicer) and don’t peel your fruit and veg, to make sure you get the most fibre out of them! #smoothie #smoothierecipes #nutrition #dietetics #wellbeing #wellness #eatseasonal #sustainableliving #foodismedicine #summersmoothie #wholefoods #health #dailydose #dailydosebblc

15.01.2022 Our superstar EP and runner, Eliza, gives her top tips to keep you running! In 2019, over 3 million Australians reported taking part in recreational running. With interruptions to gym routines and sport activities, as well as bouts of bunkering down at home, even more of us have turned to running as our choice of physical activity. Interestingly, what motivates people to run has changed over the last decades - now, we are more interested in running for our psychological, soc...ial and physical health than running to achieve or compete. Whatever your motivation, lace up those sneakers to join millions of other Aussies pounding the pavement on their way to wellbeing. Here are our top 3 tips for becoming a stronger runner: 1. Start small and build up - running long distances or at high speeds without progressive training may increase your risk of burnout or injury. Start with some walking between bouts of jogging, and look to increase your run distance by 10% each week. 2. Embrace strength training - Strength and stability are key to preventing run related injuries. A few areas to focus on include balance and gluteal and trunk strength and stability. 3. Mix it up - doing a combination of long, short, fast and "hilly" runs not only keeps your running interesting, but will also maximise improvements in speed AND endurance. #runstrong #exercisephysiology #movementismedicine #running #healthcare #wellness #strengthtraining #runninggroup #marathonmadness #halfmarathon #runsydney

15.01.2022 In 2021 swimming in a backyard pool or open ocean is good for you and beach ecology too We loved reading this recent article from @abcnews_au about the proven health benefits of swimming.

15.01.2022 MAKING HEALTHY HABITS STICK Creating a sustainable change is not an easy task even when you are feeling motivated we are essentially creatures of habit. A recent blog from @aslmlifemed states "Habits are evolution’s nifty way of conserving our precious mental energy". 45% of our daily activities are habitual so it comes as no surprise that making change can sometimes be difficult. This blog goes through how long it can take for people to make changes and the role stress can p...lay on defaulting back to existing habits. Here are 10 things they suggest you can do to facilitate change: Have a big enough WHY- sometimes this can take a little bit of work to determine the reason behind wanting the change and can also uncover some bigger truths as to what is really important to you. Make it EASY to do- smaller, achievable changes can lead to bigger progress WRITE it down- A Harvard MBA study in 1979 reported that 84% of the graduating class hadn’t set any goals in life, 13% had written goals but no concrete goals and that 3% had both written goals and a plan. The 3% who later in life were found to be x10 more successful than the other 97%. Feeling or seeing the result or impact of the change makes it FEEL worthwhile- quick positive wins create momentum. Get SUPPORT- you don't have to feel like you are on your own with this. Seek out supportive friends and family or speak to a health professional. Increase CONSISTENCY- make it easier to get out for that morning run by having your runners near the door or have a healthy breakie prepped in the fridge so it becomes easier to make it a regular thing. Keep yourself in a POSITIVE STATE OF MIND- be aware of the potential disruption of stress. Ways to manage this can be through regular exercise, mindfulness, keeping a gratitude journal or listening to your favourite music. Show yourself some SELF-COMPASSION- there will be bumps in the road, think of what might be your plan B when these things pop up and be kind with the journey. Be MINDFUL in your approach- "the greater our ability to to be mindful of the present moment, the more ability we have to regulate our emotions"- Dan Siegel. Review your PROGRESS regularly- having some small measures to track this can be helpful to see how far you have come even on the days you feel you aren't going anywhere.

12.01.2022 We are loving this little challenge from @byrosie_ on how to up your veggie intake each day. Check it out and join in the fun! Source: @byrosie_ 1 2 3 B R E A K K I E so I have decided to set up a little challenge for you guys to hop on board and join. Thought it would be fun and will help you consciously get some more veg in your diet if this is something that you know you are lacking. I see it constantly in clinic that people are just not getting enough in their da...y. It is the easiest change up we can do to improve our health. - Remember the bare minimum from the government website state that Australian guidelines is 5 serves of veggies a day. - Scary statistics state that only 7.5% of Australia’s population meet this vegetable requirement daily. We have a growing number of chronic inflammatory disorders, soaring rates of #obesity (the highest in the world per capita), #metabolicsyndrome, #type2 (which is completely reversible through diet) and chronic digestive issues is a growing concern that puts pressure on our health system. - Ideally 6-7 a day would be better (if not more). - So, to start with I’m encouraging you to get 3 serves of veg into your diet at breakfast. I’m calling it #123Breakkie it is designed to check in with your breakfast and count 1,2,3 then go ahead and enjoy! - 1 serve of veg = I tend to work it out as 1 handful or 1 cup leafy greens, 1 tbsp pesto, 1 tbsp sauerkraut, 1 carrot, 1 medium tomato, 1/2 capsicum, 1 Lebanese cucumber, handful of mushrooms, 1 zucchini, 1/2 avo, handful snow peas/beans, 1/2 cup cooked legumes/pulses - Tag me in stories or pics or just message me.

Rx - ps please don’t rely on vegetable pills (quite popular now saying they contain 30 different vegetables per capsule etc) - this defeats the point of treating real food as medicine, it’s a short cut, it’s not sustainable and it is expensive and defeats the point of getting more veggies in your diet

10.01.2022 Celebrating International Men’s Day with some of the lads in the clinic! Our EP Dave, physio Taso and Massage therapist Garth- we struggled to get everyone in a photo today due to busy diaries. International Men’s Day is celebrated on 19 November every year and is marked in around 80 countries worldwide.... International Men’s Day in Australia is a great opportunity for you to: Highlight some of the social issues than men and boys face Make a difference for the men and boys in your community Celebrate men and boys in all their diversity Have some serious fun This year, International Men’s Day will be held on Thursday 19 November 2020, though many people will hold their activities and celebrations before or after the main event. While there are huge variety of ways you can mark International Men’s Day, most celebrations share one or more of the following objectives: Valuing male role models Acknowledging the contribution of men and boys Improving male health Tackling discrimination and disadvantage Fostering positive gender relations Making the world a safer place for everyone #internationalmensday

10.01.2022 G O I N G W I T H T H E S E A S O N S It’s a common misconception that it costs a lot of money to buy healthy foods. Yes, buying overly priced ‘superfoods’ can hurt the wallet, but these aren’t actually necessary to form a nutritious diet. Drum roll please presenting seasonal fruits and vegetables! ... These guys not only provide you with bundles of nutrients, vitamins and minerals, they’ll also be relatively cheap if you buy in season! Buying seasonally is not a revolutionary idea, though you might be surprised how many of the fruits and vegetables sitting in your fridge aren’t actually in season. So WHY go with the seasons? 1. You’ll save money (seasonal fruit and veg = peak supply) 2. You’ll help the environment (sourcing locally grown or Australian grown means it’s travelled less distance) 3. You’ll support Aussie farmers (that’s a win-win!) 4. You’ll enjoy lots of flavour & nutrition (eating seasonally helps you receive a rainbow of fruit and veg meaning you’ll receive different nutrients too) HOW to go with the seasons? Staying on top of what’s in season every month, can be tricky. And sometimes, even when we have the best intentions to start doing something, it doesn’t always happen because we haven’t made it easy for ourselves. A trick our dietitian uses, is printing out a list of all the seasonal fruit and vegetables and sticking it somewhere in her kitchen. That way, she can have a quick glance when planning her meals for the week, to avoid feeling clueless when she’s at the supermarket. You can check out http://seasonalfoodguide.com/ where they have printable fruit and vegetable guides for major regions, like Sydney, in Australia. #eatwiththeseasons #vegetables #fruit #spring #dietitian #wellness #nutrition #dailydosebblc #cremorne #freshfood #freshfoodmarket #farmersmarket #spring

09.01.2022 The @balancedbodieslifestyleclinic team have joined the @pushforbetter challenge completing 3046 pushups in 21 days all to raise awareness and funds for mental health and @headspace_aus #Repost @pushforbetter There is growing scientific evidence suggesting that aerobic exercise can be utilised to prevent and treat depression. One recent analysis of this evidence suggested that three 45-minute exercise sessions per week (135 minutes total) was enough to provide anti-depre...ssant benefits to mental health. Exercise doesn’t have to be strenuous to help: moderate exercise like fast walking, moderate cycling, steady lap swimming, or anything that causes a rise in heart rate and a bit of a sweat, is the best way to give your brain a boost. On the theme of 'moderate' be sure to work within your comfort levels during The Push-Up Challenge.

09.01.2022 Last week was MALNUTRITION WEEK in Australia and NZ and our dietitian Angelica fills us... Malnutrition is often referred to as a ‘silent’ condition and isn’t always obvious from the outside. Being malnourished can increase risk of infections, decrease your ability and strength to perform everyday activities, reduce immunity and increase admissions to hospitals. Eating a varied, balanced diet is great for overall wellness, though some areas are particularly important when we’...re malnourished including energy and protein. Malnutrition can happen when we don’t meet our body’s needs. We could have special nutritional needs when we have a reduced appetite or other symptoms, severe illness (such as cancer or kidney failure) and when we’re older. Signs to look out for: Recently losing weight without trying to Noticing you’ve lost muscle Not feeling as hungry as usual and eating less food than usual Noticing your face looks more drawn, pale and sunken eyes or templates Clothes, jewellery or belts start to feel loose Family or friends mention they’ve noticed you’ve lost weight If anything jumps out at you from above, we recommend having a chat with an accredited practising dietitian who will be able to help by providing personalised tailored dietary advice.

06.01.2022 Our pushups for today are 171! #Repost @pushforbetter In 2018-2019, 17.1% of Australians received a prescription for a mental health medication. The vast majority of these (~80%) were for anti-depressants, which were used by around 3 million Australians. So what is an anti-depressant medication? The most common anti-depressants work by increasing the availability of neurotransmitters, which affect how our nerves communicate with each other in our brains and all over our b...odies. Neurotransmitters affect many parts of our lives, from our mental health, to our guts, to how we feel pain. So, even though these medications are technically called anti-depressants, they have been used for a wide range of health conditions. #mentalhealth #pushupchallenge #movementismedicine #depression

04.01.2022 Our dietitian, Angelica, treats us to a simple 3 ingredient pancake recipe that is still suitable for people living with diabetes. Did you know that 280 Australian’s develop diabetes every day and that this number is increasing? So if you have diabetes, you’re certainly not alone. Living with diabetes doesn’t have to define who you are or prevent you from enjoying all parts of life, and that includes food! ... Working with an accredited practising dietitian can help you live well with diabetes and learn about how healthy eating can fit into your lifestyle, type of diabetes and unique needs. In the spirit of National Diabetes Week, we’ve got a treat for you! It’s our dietitian Angelica’s favourite 3 ingredient simple pancake recipe that you can enjoy if you live with diabetes! Ingredients: 1. 1 banana (low GI fruit) 2. 2 eggs (adding proteins to meals lowers the GI) 3. cup rolled oats (high in fibre) Steps: 1. In a bowl, mash the banana 2. Mix in the eggs and rolled oats 3. In a pan, heat a drizzle of canola, sunflower or olive oil 4. Dollop mixture onto pan and cook until brown, flipping the pancakes when bubbles start to form 5. Serve with fresh fruit, drizzle of honey and dollop of natural yoghurt! *you could try adding in seeds, like chia or sunflower seeds, for a dose of healthy fats or try a squeeze of lemon juice on top (adding citrus to meals lowers the GI) #diabetes #type2diabetes #pancakes #health #nutrition #healthyrecipes #breakfast #lowgi #dietitian #dailydosebblc #wellbeing #wellness #cremorne #darlinghurst #rozelle #wahroonga #eatingwell #sydneydietitian

03.01.2022 WOMENS HEALTH WEEK WRAP UP! We have been spending a lot of time this week talking to each of our clients about a few key areas of women’s health and ways they can create some space to be able to focus on their health and well being. Our Exercise physiologist, Anna, gives our top tips on some of the key areas:... 1. THE WONDERS DOWNUNDER: how do we take care of vagina, vulva, uterus and ovaries. Quite often we will have women of all ages come in with pelvic floor dysfunction, prolapse, pelvic pain or conditions like endometriosis and finding ways to safely exercise and improve strength. Working with a combination of a women’s health physio and exercise physiologist can allow you to be able to improve these issues and return to activities you enjoy. 2. HEARTBEAT HEROS: did you know that women are four times more likely to die from heart disease than breast cancer. Understanding your risk factors for heart disease, what the symptoms of a heart in women are (they are a little different to men) and how exercise can decrease and help manage heart disease can have huge impacts on your health. For more info check out this fact sheet (https://www.jeanhailes.org.au//cardiovascular-health-fact-) 3. THE INSIDE STORY: turning our attention to the bladder, gut and bowel health. With Covid there have been many people skipping their regular check ups like bowel cancer screening. Bowel cancer is second only to breast cancer as the most common type of cancer diagnose in women in Australia. 4. THE HEADS UP: a bit of a focus on our mental health and how we can look after it across lots of different life stages. Some key life stages such as pregnancy and early parenthood, menopause, dealing with a chronic illness or major life events can impact our mental health and often as women we have a tendency to put everyone else’s needs above our own. Incorporating exercise that you enjoy and is part of your me time can be helpful to help manage different mental health conditions. Cont’d in comments

03.01.2022 EXERCISE & IMMUNITY While we know that COVID-19 is a virus that our bodies haven’t had exposure to and as such the immune system hasn’t had a chance to build immunity against it yet we know that exercise can play a role in our bodies immune function against a whole range of other viruses and infections. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that regular exercise isn't only beneficial for boosting cardiovascular, muscle and mental health but also for improving th...e immune system. The immune system is composed of 3 different layers of defence and regular exercise helps maintain the efficient functioning of each. 1. Skin research (1) suggests that skin wound healing is faster in people who exercise regularly compared to sedentary people. This reduces the risk of bacteria and virus from entering into the wound 2. Immune cells that respond to infection eg. Natural killer cells (NKC) during an exercise bout large amounts of NKC enter the bloodstream. Post-exercise these NKC move to areas of inflammation to clean up pathogens and damaged cells (2) 3. Adaptive immunity eg. T and B lymphocytes Research (3) suggests that regular exercise over a long period of time may help maintain the health of these cells as we age thereby, helping to maintain a more robust immune system as we age. Current guidelines recommend getting at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week to help maintain immune function.

02.01.2022 WOMENS HEALTH WEEK WRAP UP A few last words from our dietitian, Angelica. We’re wrapping up this Friday celebrating the last day of Women’s Health Week 2020 (7-11th September)!!!...
