Park further from work. 5-10 squats before you sit down each time. 10 push ups on the kitchen bench each meal time. 10 step ups on the bottom step at home before going inside.

10.01.2022 Women’s Health Week! Today we’re going to talk about DRAM or diastasis recti of the abdominal muscles which is a fancy term for when your outer abdominal muscles, i.e. your six pack separates, usually because of pregnancy. Did you know this affects ONE THIRD of pregnant women by the second trimester and it affects OVER HALF of women postpartum?... Why does this happen? The linea alba, which is the fibrous sheet between the 2 columns of your 6 pack, becomes more stretchy and soft because of the hormones released during pregnancy AND because of the natural mechanical stress from the baby inside the womb. Why is it important? The loss of stability of your outer abdominal muscles can affect your deep abdominal muscles (your core), which act as a corset for your back and the contents of your abdomen. It can contribute to low back, pubic pain and even incontinence. What to do about it? You should seek the help of a women’s health physiotherapist, who will be able to properly assess you and tailor their treatment to you. This can include: - Activity modification - Improving core stability - Improving pelvic floor activation - Compression garments If this affects you, don’t ignore it! You can get help today!

01.01.2022 NUTRITION AND WOMEN’S HEALTH: IRON Iron is an important mineral that has various functions in the body, including the production of haemoglobin, which carries oxygen around the body through the blood. If inadequate iron is consumed through the diet, this may result in iron deficiency, or in low levels of haemoglobin (anaemia). Symptoms include unexplained fatigue or a lack of energy, difficulty concentrating, and increased risk of infection ... Women may be at higher risk of iron-deficiency anaemia due to higher losses through menstruation, or if pregnant, breastfeeding or have recently given birth. If you suspect you may be low in iron, it is best to discuss this with your GP and check on a blood test, however here a few tips to make sure you’re getting the most out of the iron in your food: Consume a range of iron-rich foods every day these include: red meat, poultry, legumes and green leafy vegetables Consume a source of vitamin C with your plant-based iron sources: - Food sources of vitamin C: citrus fruits, strawberries, tomato, broccoli Avoid consuming tea or coffee at the same time as iron-rich foods tea and coffee block the absorption of iron, so consume these away from your meals If you have been diagnosed with iron deficiency and would like some individualised advice on increasing your iron intake, please feel free to give us a call and book in for a consultation with our Accredited Practising Dietitian on: Toowoomba: 07 4632 6074 Dalby: 07 4662 2855 Image credit: stock.adobe
