24.01.2022 Allergies or COVID-19? September brings with it Spring time which is also the most common time of the year to suffer from allergies. So what is the difference between allergies and COVID-19?... You can keep in mind what your normal allergy symptoms are but it's also good to be aware that: - Viral symptoms are progressive and worsen quickly, and - Allergies are reactive to the environment and normally come and go. If you're unsure of your symptoms, give us a call to speak with a GP and get tested for COVID-19. #spring #allergies #covid19

22.01.2022 If you're working from home at the moment, try to get into the habit of exercising during the time you would normally be commuting to work.

You can try:... - online fitness classes, - going for a walk or a run, - going for a bike ride, - stretching.

21.01.2022 According to Healthdirect, 4 in 10 Australian adults don't get enough sleep and feel tired as a result. Many of us also think that we're getting enough sleep but don't realise that we're not getting quality sleep which means that we still feel tired. So what is quality sleep? According to the Sleep Foundation, the key determinants of quality sleep are:... - Sleeping more time while in bed (at least 85 percent of the total time) - Falling asleep in 30 minutes or less - Waking up no more than once per night; and - Being awake for 20 minutes or less after initially falling asleep. Some ways of making sure that you get a good night of quality sleep include optimising your bedroom, not eating late at night and reassessing your alcohol intake. You can see more ways to get better sleep here: https://www.healthline.com/nutriti/17-tips-to-sleep-better If sleep is an issue for you, talk to one our GPs, they can help. #qualitysleep #selfcare #yourfamilydoctor
