25.01.2022 IMMUNE SUPPORT Acupuncturist Michaela (Michaela Rinkel - Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture) and Naturopath / Nutritionist Kris (Wellness By K) have some easy practices you can put in place to support your immune system. WARMING FOODS like ginger, garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom reduce inflammation and improve circulation which can assist immune function. These, as well as foods like spring onion have a dispersing action which may help circulate Qi in the chest and s...trengthen the lungs. AVOIDING DAIRY may be beneficial given its inflammatory nature which decreases immune function, reducing your body's ability to fight off infections. Foods like dairy, bananas and greasy foods are considered "damp" in Chinese Medicine, contributing to mucus production and congestion. Garlic, ginger, pepper or citrus peels steeped in hot water can be effective in helping to break up mucus. NUTRIENTS like vitamin C (blueberries, oranges, red foods), antioxidants (brightly coloured fruit and veg like beetroot, berries, other wholefoods like nuts and seeds). Quercetin (apples, onions) is a specific antioxidant that may assist immune function. DEEP BREATHING helps expel carbon dioxide and take in much needed oxygen, which can then be circulated to all cells and tissues of the body. Effective breathing may improve circulation so that waste can be transported out of cells to be excreted and immune cells can be transported around the body to where they're needed most. PERSONAL HYGIENE is important, so remember to wash your hands and stay home to rest if you are feeling unwell. If you would like more information and would like some assistance in supporting your immune system and general wellbeing, consider booking in for Acupuncture or Naturopathy via bodyactivetherapies.com.au See more

23.01.2022 Here's a holiday message from Naturopath/Nutritionist Kris Jasper: Holidays are often a sociable time to catch up with loved ones and eat delicious food. It's okay to give ourselves permission to indulge over a couple of days and enjoy the food, drink and company, however it just gets problematic when we indulge consistently to the point where it becomes exhausting for our bodies to process. The best kind of mindful eating is when we eat with social interaction, so mak...e the most of this time together, enjoy yourself and if you need some guidance with making some sustainable nutritional and lifestyle habits for the long run, consider booking in with one of our Naturopaths/Nutritionists in the New Year. Book Online via the link in our bio or give us a call on 9427 8848.

01.01.2022 BodyActive Nutritionist & Naturopath Kris talks about EDS for Rare Disease Day. Call the clinic on 9427 8848 to book an appointment with Kris. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a rare hypermobility and connective tissue disease. ... 1 in 5000 individuals world-wide have the condition. To me, it doesnt feel THAT rare to have EDS and be called a zebra. What does feel rare is the awareness about EDS and its associated conditions. Many health degrees do not learn about EDS (including mine). Therefore, medical and allied health professionals are not aware of the syndrome and it is difficult to get a diagnosis and seek treatment. #rarediseaseday is a chance to spread the word about EDS and zebras like me who suffer from this invisible illness. There are 14 different types each with complex symptoms, and as yet all have no cure. Education and awareness are key. The more individuals who have an awareness, the higher chance of research for a cure. Common symptoms of EDS include: Stretchy lax skin (often only seen when pulling) Loose joints, frequent dislocations and subluxations Fragile skin Muscle or joint pain and fatigue If you suspect you may have EDS or to read about how I can assist you with naturopathic and nutritional management, please click the website link in my bio. 1:1 online bookings can also be made through the website. #rarediseaseday #raredisease #leapyear #invisibleillness #spoonie #spoonielife #chronicillnessawareness #sjogrens #invisibledisability #chronicallyill #youdontlooksick #spooniesupport #fibromyalgiawarrior #chronicillness #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicillnessmemes #chronicillnessadvocate #chronicillnesscommunity #butyoudontlooksick #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #chronicfatiguesyndrome #chronicpainwarrior #invisible #disability #crps #edsawareness See more
