22.01.2022 Tip 2 on how to boost your immunity naturally WHOLE PLANT FOODS Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes are rich in antioxidants, fiber and nutrients such as vitamin C and zinc.... Antioxidants help decrease inflammation by combatting unstable compounds called free radicals. Fiber in plant foods feeds your gut microbiome, which help keep harmful pathogens from entering your body via your digestive tract. Nutrients such as vitamin C and zinc may reduce the duration of the common cold. (Source: PubMed Central)

21.01.2022 Bad Habit Number 3: "Looking at Screens in Poor Positions". This can lead to headaches, neck pain, thoracic/upper back pain, and stiffness. Whether you are at work or at home at the moment, whenever possible, reduce screen time! We are becoming increasingly reliant on screens during both work and leisure. Prevention is better than cure, and particularly important when we trying to stay well and stay home! What are some preventative strategies? Avoid tilting your neck - you sh...ouldn't be looking down at your phone or up at your computer screen for example. Instead, position the top of your screen at eye level and keep your neck and lower back straight. Avoid awkward twisting with off-center screen positions - ensure your screen is straight in front of you. Check your posture regularly and take a few moments to stand up and stretch every half hour to avoid prolonged sitting in the same position. See more

19.01.2022 Well, we'd hope that washing our hands is a given! However, what we'd like to emphasize is how to wash our hands thoroughly - after all, particularly in the current climate, cleaner hands are safer hands! The whole process of washing our hands should not take less than 30 seconds. . . . #BackInHealth #Melbourne #CliftonHill #osteopathy #osteopath #health #healthylife #healthyliving #gethealthy #stayhealthy #healthgoals #healthtalk #healthtips #goodhealth #wellness #staywell #treatment #pain #painfree #relief #staysafe #washyourhands #cleanhands #insafehands

18.01.2022 Tip 7 on how to boost immunity naturally OSTEOPATHY We wouldn't be in this business if we didn't truly believe in the health benefits of Osteopathy. After all, the goal of Osteopathic treatments is to restore the body to optimal health by prompting the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery.... Osteopathic lymphatic techniques have long been associated with an improved healing response in the cellular tissues and improved immune response. Lymphatic techniques may enhance treatment by increasing lymphatic flow and fluid removal and enhancing filtration and removal of inflammatory mediators and waste products from the interstitium.

17.01.2022 As we’ve all been working from home for quite a few months now, the negative impacts of having a poor desk set up and spending prolonged hours in the same position may have taken their toll. This can lead to a number of musculoskeletal aches and pains such as headaches, stiff neck and shoulders, sore lower back, wrist or hand pain and tight hips. Below are some tips on how to set up your desk to prevent that feeling of fatigue and pain at the end of the day: Keep your ...feet flat on ground Check chair height by having forearms just above desk height Make sure the top 1/3 of computer screen is at eye level Have your keyboard 10-25cm from desk edge Keep monitor to approx. one arm’s length away Make sure you have an ergonomic chair or add a lumbar support Get up every 30 mins to move around and stretch We hope this helps and remember if you are currently experiencing pain that is affecting your functional independence or will worsen without treatment, then we can help!

16.01.2022 Well... 2 in fact. Tip 6 of how to boost your immunity naturally LIMIT SUGAR INTAKE... Limiting your intake of added sugar and refined carbohydrates can decrease inflammation and assist in weight loss, in turn reducing your risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. These conditions can all suppress the immune system. Limiting added sugars is an important part of an immune-boosting diet. For someone on a 2000 calorie diet, the daily intake of sugar should equal around 2 tablespoons.

16.01.2022 The world as we knew it has changed. Things are being done differently, precautions taken, and there is still uncertainty over what the future holds. But we believe that with any change comes opportunity.

16.01.2022 Tip 8 on how to boost immunity naturally MORE HEALTHY FATS Healthy fats have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties which boost your body's immune response to pathogens. They may help your body fight off harmful bacteria and viruses, and have been linked to a decreased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.... These healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids can be found in olive oil, salmon, chia seeds and walnuts for example.

09.01.2022 In the coming month, we will be discussing natural ways to boost immune health. Whilst boosting immunity does not guarantee protection from contracting colds and COVID 19, it ensures our bodies are well-placed to fight viruses.

04.01.2022 Tip 4 on how to boost immunity naturally STAY HYDRATED It might be a common and well-known tip to staying healthy, but it is also easy to forget when you're preoccupied with going about your busy day.... Dehydration can inhibit digestion, heart and kidney function, which in turn can make us more susceptible to illness. Water is the best means of staying hydrated because it is free of calories, additives, and sugar. If you find plain water difficult to drink, you could try adding lemon, lime, cucumber, or mint to your water. Other good alternatives are coconut water or unsweetened tea (especially in Winter, with many benefits of its own such as being rich in antioxidants).
