24.01.2022 Vitamin D Many Melbournians are low in Vitamin D, which is important for strong bones and muscles. Being physically active outdoors helps us to make Vitamin D, but this is difficult during our cold and overcast winter season. Some people are at increased risk of Vitamin D deficiency, particularly those with naturally dark skin, and those who have low exposure to sunlight. Other risk factors include being elderly, overweight, and not eating much fish or dairy.... Vitamin D plays an important part in keeping our immune system strong, so if your levels are low, you may find yourself getting sick more often, or have wounds that take a long time to heal. Being low in Vitamin D is associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease, and is even associated with worse outcomes if you are infected with COVID-19, although more research is required in this area. Vitamin D deficiency does not always have obvious symptoms, but can cause bone muscle pain. A wide range of other symptoms may occur, such as fatigue and tiredness, depression, or hair loss. There are many possible causes for some of these symptoms - your doctor can work with you to help determine what the cause might be in your case. Always take care to protect your skin from the summer sun in order to reduce your risk of skin cancer. You can do this by using sun-protective clothing, applying SPF30 sunscreen 20 minutes before going outdoors, wearing a hat and sunglasses, and finding some shade. During the winter months from May to mid-August, when the UV levels is forecast to be less than 3, sun protection is not recommended unless you work outdoors, are outside for extended periods, or are near highly reflective surfaces like snow. If you're concerned that you may be low in Vitamin , speak with your doctor about how this can be managed. In the meantime, you can increase your sun exposure, being sure to adhere to sun protection guidelines during the summer months, and eat more Vitamin D-rich foods, such as salmon or tuna.

12.01.2022 What are the problems with high blood pressure? High blood pressure, medically known as hypertension, can lead to serious problems such as Heart attack, stroke or kidney disease. High blood pressure usually does not have any symptoms so it is important to have your blood pressure checked regularly by your doctor.... Lifestyle Management measures to control Blood Pressure: Watch your weight: - Blood pressure often increases as weight increases Exercise regularly: - Regular physical activity naturally decreases blood pressure and maintains weight control. Eat a healthy balanced diet: - A diet rich in wholegrains, fruits, vegetables and low fat dairy with reduced saturated fats and cholesterol decreases weight and decrease blood pressure. Decrease alcohol consumption - Alcohol can be both good and bad for your health. By drinking alcohol in moderation (generally one standard drink for women or two standard drinks for men, with two alcohol free days in a week) you can lower your blood pressure by about 4mm Hg, however this protective effect is lost if you drink too much alcohol.
